How to evaluate source code while in the edit buffer?

[Mirko Vukovic]

Hello,

Creating/editing UML diagrams using plantuml mode is an iterative process.

My current workflow is

1. Enter edit buffer (C-c ')
2. Perform edits in the window
3. Exit edit mode (C-c ')
4. Evaluate code (C-c C-c)
5. Monitor changes to resulting png file

I would prefer instead to skip step 3, and evaluate the code from within the edit mode. I tried evaluating org-babel-execute-src-block from the edit buffer, but that resulted in an error:

helm-M-x-execute-command: Wrong type argument: consp, nil

Is it possible to execute code from the edit buffer?

Thank you,

Mirko
