Which version of PlantUML are you using ?

For us, the following example is working:


File config.txt:
skinparam handwritten true

File test.txt:
@startuml
alice -> bob : ok
@enduml

java -jar plantuml.jar -config config.txt test.txt

Can you test this on your configuration ?

Thanks,

Thanks for answer.
I use PlantUML version 1.2017.16
This example works for me but I have another situation.
For example int config.txt we have included file another_config.txt(where all skinparams are written) and when I run ```java -jar plantuml.jar -config config.txt test.txt``` command I am getting error :
 Error line 0 in file: C:\path\to\test.txt
Some diagram description contains errors
But when I include config.txt in text.txt and simply run java -jar plantuml.jar test.txt all files are included successfully. So I need to know How can I run my config file from command line without adding it to my test.txt

Ok, thanks for the explanation.
This should work with last beta (beta22)
http://beta.plantuml.net/plantuml.jar
However we made some deep changes here, so please tell us if you find regressions!
Thanks
