Troubleshooting Web Version
Loading Schema Files Hosted Outside GitHub
Liam ERD Web supports loading schema files hosted on GitHub by default. When you specify a GitHub URL (e.g., github.com/username/repo/blob/branch/path/to/schema.rb
), Liam ERD automatically converts it to a raw content URL (raw.githubusercontent.com/username/repo/branch/path/to/schema.rb
).
However, when loading schema files hosted on platforms other than GitHub, please note the following:
Important Notes for Files Hosted Outside GitHub
- Liam ERD Web does not perform URL conversion for non-GitHub sources
- You must provide a direct link to the raw content file, not an HTML page
- The URL should point to a page that returns only the schema file content without HTML markup
Examples
✅ Correct URL Format (Raw Content)
https://gist.githubusercontent.com/username/gistid/raw/commitsha/filename.yml
https://gitlab.com/username/repo/-/raw/main/db/schema.rb
https://bitbucket.org/username/repo/raw/main/prisma.schema
❌ Incorrect URL Format (HTML Pages)
https://gist.github.com/username/gistid
https://gitlab.com/username/repo/-/blob/main/db/schema.rb
https://bitbucket.org/username/repo/src/main/prisma.schema
