includesearch diagramsRoot does not work correct

[anotherandi]

Inclusion from included files does not work correct. Error message: "Cannot include [filename]"

When I include a file that contains macros an the macro include yet another file.
It looks like the includepath only works correct for the currently opened/edited plantuml file but not for included files. When I use !include in an included file I still have to use relative paths.

BTW: Generating the image works fine when I use the plantuml.jar and set the include.path to the same folder as diagramsRoot.

Having a common base directory for inclusion I basically consider a good idea. But I wood prefer to specify an include folder and still be able to use relative paths in a plantuml file. Similar to the way C/C++ behaves. First try in the folder of the current file and then proceed with the include paths.

Thanks for the report, and the solution (-Dplantuml.include.path), the fix goes with next release.

About the C/C++ behaves, I'm afraid it's hard to do, because the plantuml.jar is an outside dependency, to this extension, that I cannot control it finely.

As I tested, suppose we have:

• "plantuml.includeSearch": "DiagramsRoot",
• A include chain: source -> include1 -> include2 -> include3

Then, wheninclude2 references include3, it works both with the relative path:

• From include3 to include2,
• From include3 to DiagramsRoot

Kind of like C/C++ behaves you said.
