workspace.json updates

[VincentdeGroot-EH]

I have added the following to structurizr.properties:

structurizr.editable=false structurizr.autoSaveInterval=0

When I start structurizr this is confirmed on the console. The workspace.json however still is updated frequently. I had one case where the json was somehow reseted (maybe because I interrupted structurizr during processing of the dsl files.

Question: Why is workspace.json saved? Can't this be switched off?

Why is workspace.json saved?

Structurizr Lite is designed for faster workspace authoring, so each time you load/refresh a Structurizr Lite page, the workspace.dsl file is parsed and converted into a workspace.json file. structurizr.autoSaveInterval=0 should disable auto-saving from the diagram editor, but the aforementioned process still remains.

Can't this be switched off?

It can't. I'd recommend publishing your workspace to an on-premises installation if you need a true read-only version.
