PDF is not auto-generated

[karniv00l]

• [x] Run https://github.com/FOME-Tech/wiki#generate-pdf as a part of the build step (https://github.com/FOME-Tech/wiki/pull/101)
• [x] Switch from auto deploy to: https://github.com/cloudflare/pages-action (https://github.com/FOME-Tech/wiki/commit/f27ae51caf0c92c98690c0a07a69cb539313fe41)

@karniv00l is there any thing I could help with? I did a proof-of-concept for RE see https://github.com/rusefi/rusefi_documentation/issues/1

@mi-hol I've updated description, hopefully is more clear now

• as a part of the build action

never edited GH workflows before but it seems that I need to add the following "-run" actions to "steps:" section in build.js.yml

• install any new dependencies
• at end of current yaml "run: npm run pdf"
• if no error happened, copy pdf output file to a permanent location tbd

Would that be all or did I miss something?

It's a little bit more complicated since I believe we need to run npm run serve in a service

https://medium.com/geekculture/serverless-e-book-web-book-using-docusaurus-v2-github-pages-actions-and-pdf-tools-4fef54847b85 describes a more simple solution (having some caveats) copied below.

I've yet to test it and would create a PR if it works. Would that be good enough as a first solution?

`name: 'continous deployment'

on: push: branches:

• master

jobs: generate_webbook:

...

generate_ebook: name: 'generate ebook' runs-on: ubuntu-latest steps:

• uses: actions/checkout@v3
• name: install prince run: | curl https://www.princexml.com/download/prince-14.2-linux-generic-x86_64.tar.gz -O tar zxf prince-14.2-linux-generic-x86_64.tar.gz cd prince-14.2-linux-generic-x86_64 yes "" | sudo ./install.sh
• name: build pdf run: npx docusaurus-prince-pdf -u https://my-book.novalagung.com/intro
• name: publish ebook uses: peaceiris/actions-gh-pages@v3 with: github_token: ${{ secrets.PAT }} publish_dir: ./pdf`

Thanks, it's done now

Great to see another critical issue for V1 release to be resolved.

BTW: The caveat I saw is the Prince version specific download file name. Are you getting updates or have awareness of new releases?
