AddBoundaryTag not working with PlantUML 1.2025

[cmanique-sn]

Hello,

I have some diagrams in which boundaries are being customized, i.e.:

AddBoundaryTag(893196ca3513154cc642197d, $bgColor="#c9d7f51A", $borderColor="#8c96ab", $fontColor="#8c96ab")

Up to PlantUML 1.2024.8 this works as expected:

With PlantUML 1.2025, the following is observed:

There's nothing really pressuring the move to 1.2025, but would like to raise the issue as this really breaks layout, and the verification is pretty much manual.

Thanks

Hi @cmanique-sn,

based on #386 I opened the theme,md page and saw the description and legend is not displayed at all. I have to check it.

Related to your sample: Can you please describe your finding in more details (that I don't oversee one point) and add a source sample that I can try to reproduce/check all points after my fixes?

for me it looks like that

• the boundary background color is lost,
• the boundary font color is lost

Did I oversee something?

Or do you also mean that the layout is changed too? (Or is it related to changed data?)

Thank you
Helmut

I checked the not working image, and it looks like a cached image of an older temporary not working PlantUML server, and I assume it will work at least in 5 days.
E.g. if you follow the linked image then the editor is opened and it draws the wrong image, but if

• the svg is opened then the image is correct
• or add a space in the source then the image is correct too
  And in both cases the cache is not used anymore:

I checked the file on my machine with following jar files and all was working:

• plantuml-mit-1.2025.0.jar
• plantuml-mit-1.2025.1.jar
• plantuml-mit-SNAPSHOT.jar

The problem can be reproduced with following sample:

• 2024.7: is green - correct
• 2025.0: is gray - wrong

@startuml
!include https://raw.githubusercontent.com/plantuml-stdlib/C4-PlantUML/master/C4_Container.puml

AddBoundaryTag("v1", $bgColor="lightgreen", $fontColor="green", $borderColor="green")

System_Boundary(c1, "Internet Banking", $tags="v1") {
}
@enduml

based on that I can create different preproc files (my file is called test.puml) and generated both with v.1.2025.0:

md 2024.7
java -jar plantuml-mit-1.2024.7.jar -preproc -o 2024.7  test.puml
md 2025.0
java -jar plantuml-mit-1.2025.0.jar -preproc -o 2025.0  test.puml

java -jar plantuml-mit-1.2025.0.jar 2024.7\Test.preproc
java -jar plantuml-mit-1.2025.0.jar 2025.0\Test.preproc

==> the intermedia file "2025.0\Test.preproc" is the "problem/difference" and therefore a gray image is created.
In detail the inserted break (left side is 2025.0\Test.preproc)

I created an entry in Forum

@cmanique-sn: did I found your problem? Or does the other tags work for you?

@kirchsth thanks for the investigation.
Your test.puml 2024.7 vs 2025.0 fully reproduces my issue.

Hi @cmanique-sn,

the latest PlantUML version (v1.2025.2beta3) has a fix for the problem.
Can you please download it and try it with your files too?

Thank you
Helmut

(For me the colors are OK now, I have only the feeling that the png "fonts" are not so "clean" anymore but this could be a wrong impression)
