1. When I enter the edit mode (C-c ') it connects to plantuml server
(that I don't like), and produces the error that you have specified:
"Wrong type argument: stringp, nil".
2. Pressing C-c C-c in the edit buffer opens up plantuml preview but it
gives some error: "The plugin you are using seems to generate a bad
URL".
I am on Emacs 28.x and default org 9.3.
So I tried C-c C-c and got the same response as Pankaj.
I traced the code to understand better and saw that plant-uml-exec-mode can have settings of server and jar
With the jar setting (and after pointing a few variables to the jar file), I am getting a different error:
error in process sentinel: PLANTUML Preview failed: exited abnormally with code 1
The plantuml.el code seems to
- start a process and then
- pass the plantuml string to the process.
It is at step 2 that the error is issued.
