No SVG output on parse error?

asked May 12, 2016 in Bug by peter.loborg (360 points)

We are using plantuml under the MediaWiki to produce SVG based UML diagrams.

When upgrading from 8026 to 8039 or 8040 we notice that any parsing error in the source file results in no SVG beeing prodiuced at all, compared to the 8026 version producing the error message as an SVG image.

Intentional change or a bug?

Br,

Peter

It's definitely not an intentional change (so it's a bug).
Do you have the same issue when using PNG ?
Because error in source file does produce a SVG with 8039 or 8040.
For example: http://plantuml.com/plantuml/svg/SyfFKj2rKt3CoKnELR1Io4ZDoSddAid8B5O0eiGyXTIYelmY0000

Is it possible for you to trace/debug call to plantuml from your MediaWiki, so that we can understand what's going on ?

Thanks!
