Every time the svgbob diagram changes and I save the file, I get the following:

The second time I save, everything seems to work fine, the page renders OK.

If I do this:

$ which svgbob
/usr/local/bin/svgbob

In my config.toml file, I have the following

    [markup.asciidocExt.attributes]
        svgbob = "/usr/local/bin/svgbob"

The diagram code looks like this:

[svgbob]
....

  .----------------------------------------.
  |           Host Computer                |
  |                                        |

  +-------+--------------------------------+
  | Start |                                |
  '----------------------------------------'

....

Why does Hugo output that error every time I change the diagram, but renders fine second time I save the document?

What is the output of:

cat filetoyoursvg | /usr/local/bin/svgbob 

Something seems to be returned that irritates Hugo.

OK so if I create a file temp_svgbobob_data with the following content:

 +-------+
 |       |
 +-------+
$ cat temp_svgbob_data | /usr/local/bin/svgbob

What I find strange is the DEBUG output in Hugo, if I break it into 3 lines:

ERROR 2020/10/14 07:04:25 hugo/developing-in-virtual-machine.adoc: asciidoctor: DEBUG: Executing
["/usr/local/bin/svgbob", "-o", "/var/folders/1j/fkfrvhf53vz7p2f998b2skdw0000gp/T/svgbob20201014-34535-i4135x.svg"]
with options
{:stdin_data=>"\n +-------+\n |       |\n |       |\n +-------+\n"}

So if I translate that to command line and test it, I get this:

$ echo  "+-------+\n |       |\n +-------+ " | /usr/local/bin/svgbob -o my.svg

There is no output to terminal, but a new file is created. Maybe SvgBob expects an active response in terminal but does not get it?

I would go more in the direction of the line endings. Maybe you save them with the wrong format? Like Windows line endings on a Mac? The \n should tell every program that this is a line change, but as far as I know on Macs you need \n\r for line changes.
