VIZ Fails with User Library Import; Tom Sawyer is Fine

[DavidHetherington]

VIZ fails at rendering when a user library is imported. I have created a very simple test case, a library with one part def, and a model that imports that library, defines one part usage and one view. SysIDE shows “no errors in the workspace” (both *.sysml files). Tom Sawyer renders the view without issues. VIZ fails, unable to find the imported namespace.

Test-2000-User-Library.sysml (795 Bytes)

MyTestLibrary.sysml (604 Bytes)

The Forum will not allow me to upload the PowerShell script I used to invoke VIZ. Here is the command line:

syside viz view Test-2000-User-Library.sysml --name “T2000UL::MySys::ShowToaster” -o diagrams

Hi David,

That is because the CLI requires you to either list all .sysml files required to successfully parse your model. Your command only lists Test-2000-User-Library.sysml, but that file does not contain all required information (e.g. “Thing” or “MyTestLibrary”) it errors out. To fix it, you can use the following command. Note the addition of MyTestLibrary.sysml.

syside viz view Test-2000-User-Library.sysml MyTestLibrary.sysml --name T2000UL::MySys::ShowToaster -o diagrams

which generates the following diagram:

With viz command, you can also just give directory path that contains all sysml models, so it is not strictly necessary to list each individual file.

You can also include / exclude explicitly more directories with -i (–include) and -e (–exclude) options
