The `build/puml-cache` folder gets left in current working directory

[pcolby]

Thanks a again for an excellent project! :)

One small thing, if I ask Structurizr Site Generatr to output to a folder somewhere else, it still ends up creating a ./build/puml-cache/ hierarchy in the current working directly, and leaving it there.

eg

$ ls
workspace.dsl
$ structurizr-site-generatr generate-site --output-dir /tmp/arch-site --workspace-file workspace.dsl
...
$ ls
build workspace.dsl
$ find build/
build/
build/puml-cache
$

This isn't a problem, just a bit messy. Ideally the folder would get cleaned-up afterwards, or there'd be some way of specifying where to have it created, so it doesn't have to pollute my source tree :)

Thanks!

Hi @pcolby, you're welcome 😃!

The build directory in the current working is intended to be added to your .gitignore, just like for example the target directory of a Maven project. Any "temporary" files in there are actually reused the next time you perform a generate-site or serve.

I think adding a --build-dir option, allowing one to specify where the build directory should be created would be a nice-to-have feature for people who want to keep their source directory clean.

I'm closing this issue for now.
