Misleadingly Reports Need for WaveDromEditor

[acook]

Because of the series of fallbacks culminate in a a check for WaveDromEditor:

asciidoctor-diagram/lib/asciidoctor-diagram/wavedrom/converter.rb

Line 45 in 733f41c

wavedrom = source.find_command('WaveDromEditor')

This is the error message that you see:

Failed to generate image: Could not find the 'WaveDromEditor' executable in PATH; add it to the 
PATH or specify its location using the 'WaveDromEditor' document attribute

But the easiest solution to the problem is to just install the commandline tools instead:

sudo npm install -g wavedrom-cli

I would suggest that the error message be updated or at least the documentation would reflect what is happening.

Context

I encountered this while building the official RISC-V documentation which uses asciidoctor-diagram with WaveDrom.

I thought I had fixed this in 2.2.15; actually fixed in 2.2.16.
