Can't load header and footer #479

Closed lucas-gestonauta closed 1 year ago

lucas-gestonauta commented 2 years ago

I've tried a lot of different ways to make a basic footer, but with no success, just don't load anything. After forcing an error, I could see this message:

"The switch --footer-center, is not support using unpatched qt, and will be ignored."

When I check the version of wkhtmltopdf via terminal, it returns: wkhtmltopdf 0.12.6 (with patched qt).

The binary path of snappy.php is like this: 'binary' => 'wkhtmltopdf', That was the only way that works for me.

The real folder of the file is /usr/local/bin/wkhtmltopdf, but if I change the value from "wkhtmltopdf" to "/usr/local/bin/wkhtmltopdf" it returns error code 127 (not found).

If I run "/usr/local/bin/wkhtmltopdf --footer-center 'Page [page] of [topage]' www.google.com /home/lucassouzap/test.pdf" it works perfectly rendering the footer! Even only "wkhtmltopdf --footer..." also works via terminal.

Just don't know what binary file the app is using and don't know what to do to make the footer render...

I'm using Laravel Sail, Ubuntu 20.04 on docker.

[EDIT] FYI I got it to work by customizing my dockerfile further to install patched QT version. You publish the dockerfile then instead of just adding && apt-get install -y wkhtmltopdf you do : 

&& apt-get install -y xfonts-75dpi wget \
&& wget https://github.com/wkhtmltopdf/packaging/releases/download/0.12.6-1/wkhtmltox_0.12.6-1.focal_amd64.deb \
&& apt install -y ./wkhtmltox_0.12.6-1.focal_amd64.deb \
&& rm ./wkhtmltox_0.12.6-1.focal_amd64.deb \

Then headers and footers will work as intended.
