DeploymentEnvironment cannot be extended via !ref

[AnnejanBarelds]

It looks like a deploymentEnvironment element cannot be extended by using !ref. The CLI throws an error when I try it:

StructurizrDslParserException: Unexpected tokens (expected: deploymentGroup, deploymentNode, ->)

A minimal repro looks like this:

workspace {
    model {
        de = deploymentEnvironment "DeploymentEnvironment"

        !ref de {
            dn = deploymentNode "DeploymentNode"
        }
    }
}

Obviously the intend is to have the deploymentEnvironment in another file and !include that file.

Should this work, or am I misinterpreting something?

Try this instead:

workspace {
    model {
        de = deploymentEnvironment "DeploymentEnvironment" {
        }

        !ref de {
            dn = deploymentNode "DeploymentNode"
        }
        
    }
}

So simple ;). Thanks!

Out of curiosity: any reason why the accolades are needed in this case? They're not required when referencing e.g. a deploymentNode.

I would need to check, but I suspect the DSL parser thought you were inside the deploymentEnvironment block (hence the error message expected: deploymentGroup, deploymentNode, ->)), and !ref isn't permitted inside a deployment environment.

My suspicion was correct, so I just added some code the DSL parser -> https://github.com/structurizr/dsl/commit/da9e4987b0a336cdf3e793caab53538df32213aa
