Incorrect error line number when config file used

Question

When config file is provided on plantuml cmd line, error reporting shows incorrect line number in the input file. For example, if I have this plantuml_err.pu file with error on line #5:

@startuml

group My own label

     Alice -> Log : Log attack start

     end

end

@enduml

 

W/o the config, line number is reported correctly:

$ java -splash:no -jar plantuml.jar plantuml_err.pu -tsvg

Error line 5 in file: C:\scratch\plantuml_err.pu

Some diagram description contains errors

 

However, if I also provide a 7 line long config:

$ java -splash:no -jar plantuml.jar plantuml_err.pu -tsvg -config plantuml.config

Error line 12 in file: C:\scratch\plantuml_err.pu

Some diagram description contains errors

 

Apparently, plantuml concatenates config file with input file and reports line number from the combined input. However, error message still refers to the original source file, which is confusing.

Thanks for the feedback.
