Swimlanes and simple repeat loop produce wrong result

Question

Here is example:

@startuml
|swimlane 1|
start

repeat
|swimlane 2|
  :read data;
|swimlane 1|
  :generate diagrams;
repeat while (more data?)

stop

@enduml

It produces diagram where start and read data are not connected.

I tested it with PlantUML Version 1.2018.02

Answer 1

Thanks for the report!

This should be fixed in last beta http://beta.plantuml.net/plantuml.jar

Tell us if it's not working for you!

It is already better although connecting lines are still not perfectly joins, i.e. crossing decision box. IMO this maybe different problem so this one could be closed.

Answer 2

Hi all,

From:

@startuml
|swimlane 1|
start

repeat
|swimlane 2|
  :read data;
|swimlane 1|
  :generate diagrams;
repeat while (more data?)

stop

@enduml

You can add a dummy label and obtain:

@startuml
|swimlane 1|
start

repeat
label dummylab
|swimlane 2|
  :read data;
|swimlane 1|
  :generate diagrams;
repeat while (more data?)

stop

@enduml

Enjoy,
