crash of tikz-uml and pgf-umlcd new

Question

I get following error message:

! Package pgf Error: Sorry, the requested layer 'connectionlayers' is not part of the layer list. Please verify that you provided \pgfsetlayers and that 'conn ectionlayers' is part of this list.

when using:

\usepackage{tikz-uml}
\let\umlnoteold\umlnote
\let\umlnote\relax
\usepackage[simplified]{pgf-umlcd}

Context to this question: crash of tikz-uml and pgf-umlcd

Can someone help me out?

compilable code:

\documentclass[]{scrreprt} 
\usepackage[ngerman, english]{babel} 
\usepackage{tikz}
\usepackage{verbatim}
\usetikzlibrary{positioning,shapes,shadows,arrows}
\usepackage{tikz-uml}

This works fine (TeXworks, texlive). But when uncomment the first figure the problem occurs.

Has anybody an idea maybe there is a package that fits? – nm82 Aug 20 '18 at 14:41 — nm82, Aug 20 '18 at 14:41

I might not use the same version of tikz-uml, but the error you are describing can be solved by adding this line in your code:

\pgfsetlayers{connections,activity,lifelines}`

This adds the layers to your image, see this MWE:

\documentclass[]{scrreprt} 
\usepackage[ngerman, english]{babel} 
\usepackage{tikz}
\usepackage{verbatim}
\usetikzlibrary{positioning,shapes,shadows,arrows}
\usepackage{tikz-uml}
\let\umlnoteold\umlnote
\let\umlnote\relax
\usepackage[simplified]{pgf-umlcd}

\begin{document}

\begin{figure}[h]
\centering
\begin{tikzpicture}
\pgfsetlayers{connections,activity,lifelines}
\tikzumlset{fill object = white, fill call = gray!20} 
\begin{umlseqdiag}
\umlactor{a}
\umlobject[x=4]{b}
\umlobject[x=13]{c}
\begin{umlcall}[op=blah, type=synchron, return=halb]{a}{b}

        \begin{umlcallself}[op=bb]{b} 
       \end{umlcallself}

       \begin{umlcallself}[op=bbb]{b} 
       \end{umlcallself}

       \begin{umlcallself}[op=bbbb]{b} 
       \end{umlcallself}   

        \begin{umlcall}[op=signalize witching]{b}{c} 
            \end{umlcall}                  
                \begin{umlcall}[op=send fartValue, type=synchron, return=backnforth]{b}{c}                 
                   \begin{umlcallself}[padding=1.5, op=search th ligth]{c} 
                   \end{umlcallself}                   
           \end{umlcall}
\end{umlcall}
%\umlsdnode[dt=5]{a}
%\umlsdnode[dt=5.5]{b}
%\umlsdnode[dt=7]{c}
\end{umlseqdiag}
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{figure}


\end{document}

I have commented the \umlsdnode commands, as my package version seems not to contain these commands.

If someone has the link to a newer version of the package, please add the link as a comment! — Tom, Aug 03 '18 at 15:13
Hi Tom! Thank you for your anwser. Now it compiles, but
\umlactor{a} \umlobject[x=4]{b} \umlobject[x=13]{c}

is now not included. So it is not displayed. — nm82, Aug 06 '18 at 14:17
Hi @nm82, have you tried to simply uncomment the the three lines? I have just commented them because my package version does not provide the umlsdnode commands. If this does not work, can you provide a download link to the tikz-uml file that you are using? — Tom, Aug 07 '18 at 22:09
See my new answer. Here ist the package: https://www.dropbox.com/s/3igkval8pwn9rdh/tikzuml.zip?dl=0 — nm82, Aug 10 '18 at 14:41

I added the following two lines in the preamble, just before \begin{document} and that solved my problem. (same error message).

\pgfdeclarelayer{connectionlayers}
\pgfsetlayers{connectionlayers,main}

So, I kicked

\let\umlnoteold\umlnote
\let\umlnote\relax
\usepackage[simplified]{pgf-umlcd}

out and put

\pgfsetlayers{connections,activity,lifelines}

before

\usepackage{tikz-uml}

and use

\umlclass

instead of

\begin{class}

works perfekt!
