Closed josieg closed 5 years ago

josieg commented 5 years ago

Description

The cover generator doesn't seem to be working in any of the themes. There is an error message on the page that reads: "Some dependencies for Cover Generator exports could not be found. Please verify that you have completed the installation instructions."

And the buttons used to generate a cover cannot be clicked.

Expected behaviour

I add the information that I want on my book cover on the Cover Generator page in Pressbooks, and I can click "Make PDF Cover" or "Make Ebook Cover."

Actual behaviour

I add the information that I want on my book cover on the Cover Generator page in Pressbooks, but when I try to generate a cover, the buttons to do so cannot be clicked.

Steps to reproduce the problem

  1. Open a book's dashboard. Go to the Cover Generator page (under the Export tab).
  2. Enter basic book information.
  3. Try to click "Make PDF Cover"

The server dependencies required are installed, but may not have the correct/latest version. Not related to the plugin at all, but will leave it here.
