PlantUML include resolver is not available in the Ruby extension

[mskyaxl]

Hi,

I am trying to create a set of libraries of files that are included in most of my plantuml diagrams and I'm having a hard time figuring out why kroki-plantuml-include-paths is not working

My setup:

Ubuntu 20.04 on which I have

• a local kroki server started with the follwoing docker compose file:

version: "3"
services:
  kroki:
    image: yuzutech/kroki
    environment:
      - KROKI_SAFE_MODE=UNSAFE
      - KROKI_PLANTUML_ALLOW_INCLUDE=true
    ports:
      - "8000:8000"

• the official docker container which I started with

  docker run -it --rm -v $(pwd):/documents asciidoctor/docker-asciidoctor

  and to which I installed the gem using

  gem install asciidoctor-kroki

• and a small project

lib.puml

@startuml lib

skinparam sequence {
ActorBorderColor Black
LifeLineBorderColor black
ParticipantBorderColor black
ArrowColor Black
LifeLineBackgroundColor black
}

@enduml

seq.puml

@startuml

!include ./lib.puml

Actor A
Actor B

A -> B: test
A <-- B: response
@enduml

test.adoc

:doctype: book
:backend-html5:
:doctitle: test

:kroki-server-url: http://172.17.0.1:8000
:kroki-fetch-diagram:
:kroki-plantuml-include-paths: {docdir}
:imagesdir: images

{kroki-plantuml-include-paths}

[[section-adoc]]

= adoc

[plantuml]
....
include::seq.puml[]
....

all the files are in the same directory(mounted to /documents to docker)

bash-5.1# asciidoctor -r asciidoctor-kroki test.adoc
asciidoctor: FAILED: /documents/test.adoc: Failed to load AsciiDoc document - 400 Bad Request
  Use --trace for backtrace

Kroki log shows

1. using :kroki-plantuml-include: {docdir}/lib.puml worked but this is not enough for me as I have different includes for different files.
2. removing the include also generates the document successfully

My project is more complicated than this, with a more elaborated folder structure but I strip it down to the simplest form and not even this works.

What am I doing wrong?

kroki-plantuml-include-paths is currently only supported when using the JavaScript extension. So this feature needs to be implemented in the Ruby extension as well.

@Mogztter I'm interested in working on this issue but I don't know how to start it, for example Asciidoctor::PreprocessorReader#resolve_include_path doesn't seem to support a list of possible directories to look into, could you explain how the case should be handled? Thanks!

We should use our own mechanism. Asciidoctor::PreprocessorReader#resolve_include_path is used to resolve the include:: directive in Asciidoctor. The PlantUML !include directive achieves a similar goal but does not work exactly the same.

The goal here is to implement the following JavaScript function in Ruby:
