How to create diagram-model-connection

[margolyesh]

Hi All,

I can't search how to create visual connection with type "diagram-model-connection" on diagram.

I searched here: https://github.com/archimatetool/archi-scripting-plugin/wiki/jArchi-Object.

Please help if you can.

That will be in the next version of jArchi. Will be released soonish.

Hello,

Hello,

Hi, yes this was implemented in jArchi 1.1.1, three years ago:

https://github.com/archimatetool/archi-scripting-plugin/wiki/Change-Log#version-111---august-18-2021

And here:

Thank you, that's magic!

How correctly does jArchi work in this situation:

Here is the code:

Code Select Expand

console.show()
console.clear()
var elm = $(selection).first()
var view
if (elm.type != "archimate-diagram-model") {
    view = $(elm).parent().first()
} else {
    view = elm
}
$(view).children().each(function(e){
console.log(e.type + " " + e.id)
})
var s = $("archimate-diagram-model").first()
var t = $("diagram-model-note").first()
view.createConnection(s, t)
console.log("done")

Result:
archimate-diagram-model id-d83ff340a1d8415993fdbd485ae6495a
diagram-model-note id-dff834d048df417182492fa8c9de4b1b
javax.script.ScriptException: java.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot invoke "com.archimatetool.script.dom.model.DiagramModelComponentProxy.getEObject()" because "source" is null
    at com.archimatetool.script.dom.model.DiagramModelProxy.createConnection(DiagramModelProxy.java:68)
    at <js>.:program(ÑÑÑ.ajs:20)
    at <js>.:program(<eval>:1)
    at org.graalvm.polyglot.Context.eval(Context.java:399)
    at com.oracle.truffle.js.scriptengine.GraalJSScriptEngine.eval(GraalJSScriptEngine.java:478)

But if I replace

Code Select Expand

var s = $("archimate-diagram-model").first()
by

Code Select Expand

var s = $("diagram-model-reference").first()

then everything is ok:

archimate-diagram-model id-d83ff340a1d8415993fdbd485ae6495a
diagram-model-note id-dff834d048df417182492fa8c9de4b1b
done

"archimate-diagram-model" is not a visual object it's a View (container). "diagram-model-reference" is a visual object.

"archimate-diagram-model" is not a visual object it's a View (container). "diagram-model-reference" is a visual object.

I understand this.
I pull a view from the model tree onto the sheet. And I add a note object. There are 2 objects in total on the sheet. Why when I output the list of objects on the sheet, the console displays "archimate-diagram-model" but not "diagram-model-reference"?

I think that's probably a bug. I'll investigate and fix for the next version.

It's not a "bug", see https://github.com/archimatetool/archi-scripting-plugin/issues/95

This was originally the intended behaviour (I realise there are arguments for and against this). I need to check with @Jean-Baptiste Sarrodie about this.
