How do I exclude tags with whitespaces?

[beffge]

Hi,

when I use your AWS example and add exclude element.tag==Amazon Web Services - RDS to the deployment view, I get the error

The element/relationship "Web" does not exist at line 64: exclude element.tag==Amazon Web Services - RDS

Am I doing anything wrong with excluding tags which have a whitespace in them?

Thanks

From https://github.com/structurizr/dsl/blob/master/docs/language-reference.md#general-rules:

Double quote characters ("...") are optional when a property/expression contains no whitespace.

So:

exclude element.tag==Amazon Web Services - RDS

is equivalent to:

exclude "element.tag==Amazon" "Web" "Services" "-" "RDS"

Since there is no element with the identifier "Web", the DSL parser is failing.

To answer your question, you'll need double quotes.

exclude "element.tag==Amazon Web Services - RDS"
