dot's bug: Error: Layout was not done. Missing layout plugins?

[liuwld@…]

For dot's bug ​here, the plugin will also display same error.

So you should change proc_cmd from dot to dot_static

Well, if you have a locally broken dot installation (and don't want to or can't fix for some reason), you could as well make a local workaround in the GraphvizPlugin.

For example:

Index: graphviz/graphviz.py
===================================================================
--- graphviz/graphviz.py        (revision 4542)
+++ graphviz/graphviz.py        (working copy)

             processor = self.processor

         if processor in Graphviz.Processors:
-            proc_cmd = self.cmds[processor]
+            proc_cmd = self.cmds[processor] + "_static" # ref. TH3913

         else:
             self.log.error('render_macro: requested processor (%s) not found.' %

But of course, the standard distribution of the plugin shouldn't contain such hacks. Suggesting a wontfix resolution here.
