Automatic SVG generation in BAMOE9 during Gradle builds

In BAMOE8, the process SVG was automatically generated, which ensured that the visualization stayed in sync with the process definition. In BAMOE9, we currently have to generate or refresh the SVG manually.

It would be great to restore the BAMOE8 behavior in BAMOE9 so that the SVG is generated automatically whenever the process is updated. This would reduce the manual effort and, more importantly, eliminate the risk of developers forgetting to refresh the SVG after making process changes.

    Thanks, the setting worked for me. However, I would recommend making this the default behavior, both to stay aligned with BAMOE 8 and to ensure the generated process diagram accurately reflects the actual process flow. Otherwise, there is limited value in retrieving a process diagram that can be out of sync with the underlying process.

    Hi @Guest

    PFA

    In settings of the BAMOE Developer tools extension, there will be these highlighted properties(refer screenshot). Values need to be set for them.

    Run On Save is mandatory

    • extension.ibm.bamoe.silentlyGenerateSvgBpmn is for New React Editor

    • extension.ibm.bamoe.classic.silentlyGenerateSvgBpmn is for Classic Editor (the older GWT one)


    ID depends, which one is used

    Svg Filename Template and Svg File Path  are optional
    but here are some examples how to set them:

    ${fileBasenameNoExtension}.svg as filename template

    ${workspaceFolder} as svg path

    it will result into these lines in settings.json of VS Code

    "kogito.bpmn.runOnSave": "extension.ibm.bamoe.silentlyGenerateSvgBpmn",
    "kogito.bpmn.svgFilenameTemplate": "${fileBasenameNoExtension}.svg",
    "kogito.bpmn.svgFilePath": "${workspaceFolder}"

    Hi,

    What command should be run to automatically generate the SVG? If this is an existing BAMOE feature, please provide the steps to enable and use it.

    HI @Guest

    Thank you for the suggestion. We discussed this with the development team and found that BAMOE 9 already provides a supported mechanism to automatically regenerate BPMN and DMN SVG files on save through the kogito.*.runOnSave settings in the VS Code extension.

    Documentation for this capability is currently being finalized. Since the requested behavior can already be achieved through existing configuration, we do not believe additional product changes are required at this time.

    In BAMOE 8, saving an updated BPMN in the Designer would automatically generate or refresh the corresponding SVG.
