Use CefSharp in .NET WebApi #2266

Closed lexon0011 closed 6 years ago

lexon0011 commented 6 years ago

I need CefSharp in my WebApi for converting HTML Code to PDF files. If I use the library in the WebApi project, I get the following error: Could not load file or assembly 'CefSharp.BrowserSubprocess.Core.DLL' or one of its dependencies.

I attach a simple .NET WebApi Project, which has the CefSharp library included. On running the project, the error occurred.

Please tell me how I can use the library in a .NET WebApi project.

Thanks!

I create a repository for the sample.

  1. clone the repository: https://github.com/lexon0011/CefSample
  2. restore Nuget packages
  3. change build configuration to x86
  4. run the application

Is your WebApi project using .NET Core or .NET Framework 4.x?

lexon0011 commented 6 years ago

.NET Framework 4.6.1

But no working answer ...

amaitland commented 6 years ago

There are quite a few suggestions, the most practical in my opinion is to switch to using a different CEF wrapper, CefGlue or ChromiumFx are two other options.

@lexon0011 have you managed to do it? I´m trying to work with CefSharp.Offscreen in a Web Application. If not, have you moved to CefGlue or ChromiumFX?

I use the library in an console application and call this application from the WebApi

Hi @lexon0011, Please can you elaborate your solution as in how you use console application and call it from web api?

If you need to perform simple automation tasks like generate pdfs or take screenshots then headless chrome with Puppeteer Sharp is probably better option nowadays

Puppeteer sharp doesn't work in windows container and by doing setcomp=unconfined in linux container (which is not safe) it works. Locally on your laptop it will work but not on productions hosts.
