'together "GROUP" as GROUP' fails since plantuml-1.2023.0.jar

Hello!

The following code fails with "Syntax Error" since plantuml-1.2023.0.jar:

together "GROUP" as GROUP #White {

        rectangle "A" as A #White{

        }

        rectangle "B" as B #White{

        }

}

Though it worked OK in plantuml-1.2022.13.jar

Could it be fixed, please?

Hello B, and all,

Normally together is an anonymous element, as:

together {
        rectangle "A" as A #White{
        }
        rectangle "B" as B #White{
        }
}

See similar fixed issues here:

So 1.2023.0 and 1.2023.1 are impacted by changes in together.
We did a too naive implementation of together in those versions and we are going to fix this issue and restore the ability to nest together / namespace / package.I

If that can help,
Regards.

And if you need colors, you can use this:

@startuml
rectangle " " as GROUP #white;line:white {
    rectangle "A" as A #White{
        }
    rectangle "B" as B #White{
        }
}

Thank you, The-Lu!

Could you advise in which version it should be expected fixed?

Thanks!

hi The-Lu,

It still fails on plantuml-1.2023.2.jar

Also, see on the server (currently 2023.3beta4):

Maybe we should be more clear: it won't be fixed.

The syntax has changed: together is an anonymous element.

You can use the other syntaxes shown in this thread

RE:

rectangle "A" as A #White{
        }

thanks, I guess I can use here "transparent" color too, correct?
