Missing start nodes in JSON

Syside Bug Reports
1

Hi Team, this is a message from Santiago, we are trying to get activity diagrams working and have an issue of missing Start and Finish nodes:

About start/finish nodes these elements are missing in the JSON created by Syside.
We asked Sensmetry, they told us they’ve added some code in their VSCode extension that includes those elements in the JSON they pass to our viewer, but this code is not yet available from the Python code you are using when calling their compiler. I think the ideal solution would be that Sensmetry adds a flag to their JSON serialization API, I’m thinking something like include_referenced , similar to those they already have like include_derived etc.

Can you let us know where you are in regards to this?

Hello Johannes,

For Tom Sawyer viewer to render elements from the standard library, you need to include the JSONs of the corresponding standard library files. You can access the documents of the standard library by using the stdlib_docs property on the model object. If the Tom Sawyer viewer interface you have does not support multiple JSONs, you will also need to merge the per-document JSONs into one large JSON.

I hope this helps.

Best wishes,
Vytautas
