Description
Expected
Hi, I'm experimenting a bit with structurizr and ran into a (possible) bug when trying to reference an element within a group when !identifiers hierarchical is enabled in the workspace. The group name is ignored when trying to add a relationship, an error is thrown. It does seem possible to reference to or from an element within a group by using its direct name, but then the hierarchy is no longer fully adhered. Again, I'm not sure if this is a bug or if this is intended, but I'd thought I'd submit it anyway.
Given/When/Then scenario
Given !identifiers hierarchical is set on a workspace
And I define a group with containers in it
And I define a container outside of the group
When I reference a relationship to an element within that group
Then I expect that the group name needs to be used in the reference
Actual
An error is thrown:
The source element "ss.a_group.service" does not exist at line 14: ss.a_group.service -> b_container "Calls"
com.structurizr.dsl.StructurizrDslParserException: The source element "ss.a_group.service" does not exist at line ... of example.dsl: ss.a_group.service -> b_container
Steps to reproduce
Define a group
Define a container in the group
Define another container outside of the group
Add relationship either from or to the container in the group
workspace "Name" "Description"
!identifiers hierarchical
model {
ss = softwareSystem "Software System" {
a_group = group "A Group" {
service = container "A WebApp"
database = container "A Database"
}
b_container = container "B WebApp"
}
# below relationship is not allowed
ss.a_group.service -> b_container "Calls"
}
views {
systemContext ss "Diagram1" {
include *
autolayout lr
}
}
}
