Hacktoberfest 2020: drawio-cli and drawio-export Maintainer

In addition of my participation for the 4th time in a row, This year report will focus on my activity as Maintainer.

Earlier this year, I want to be able to automatically export diagrams from a drawio file. This need lead to the creation of 2 new open-sources projects :

rlespinasse / drawio-export

Export Draw.io diagrams using docker

rlespinasse / drawio-cli

CLI for Draw.io

The drawio-cli project is responsible to generate a docker image with a raw cli of drawio (thanks drawio-desktop) for that.

The drawio-export project use the drawio-cli project to enhance initial export capabilities.

Support latest version of Drawio-desktop

At the beginning of Hacktoberfest, @danquash start working of this issue

After an awesome work on debugging the version bump issues, he have create 2 pull-requests (1 on each project)

Support drawio 13.x #5

As discussed in #4 This pull-requests bumps the drawio-version to 13.7.3 (latest according to https://github.com/jgraph/drawio-desktop/releases/tag/v13.7.3) and installes a required dependency.

Apparently the newer version of drawio requires some arguments to come last, without this last change electron simply quits with a

Error: input file/directory not found

Support draweio 13.x #29

Closely related to https://github.com/rlespinasse/drawio-cli/pull/5 and https://github.com/rlespinasse/drawio-cli/pull/4

This PR moves an argument to the end of the line as seems to be required by newer versions of drawio.

Without this we get a "Error: input file/directory not found" error (tested with version 13.7.3 of jgraph/drawio-desktop)
