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
