I'm having somre troubles to create PDF file.

let html = "<p> HELLO ! </p>";
let OPTIONS = {phantomPath: './node_modules/phantomjs-prebuilt/lib/phantom/bin/phantomjs'};
pdf.create(html, OPTIONS).toFile('output.pdf', function (err, res) {
                if (err){
                    console.log( "MESSAGE => ", err.message);
                    console.log( "ERROR => ", err);
                } 
                console.log(res);
            });

{ Error: spawn ./node_modules/phantomjs-prebuilt/lib/phantom/bin/phantomjs ENOENT

Using command-line example worked well.

justinneff commented 7 years ago

+1 Same issue. Also using docker. The same code works fine on Windows.

yogieputra8 commented 7 years ago

@vjsrinath @justinneff try my solution on this thread https://github.com/marcbachmann/node-html-pdf/issues/212#issuecomment-280120314

sohel-ahmed-ansari commented 7 years ago

@vjsrinath @justinneff I was facing the same issue in docker. Managed to solve it though. The cause was that i had a global version of phantomjs already installed on my machine. Docker doesnt have access to module installed globally.

Solution:

Remove globally installed phantomjs (npm uninstall -g phantomjs)
Make sure /usr/bin/phantomjs doesnt exist. If it does, delete it.
Install phantomjs locally in the directory which is mounted on docker

Hope that works for you.

nastassia7 commented 7 years ago

I am getting the same error...

I have tried:

uninstalling phantomjs globally & installing locally
npm rebuild phantomjs-prebuilt
versions of phantomjs-prebuilt 2.1.13 & 2.1.14
installing tar & bzip2 globally

(Mac OS X, node 4.6.1, html-pdf 2.1.0, phantomjs-prebuilt 2.1.13)

JoeChapman commented 7 years ago

Use the following

const phantomPath = require('witch')('phantomjs-prebuilt', 'phantomjs');

pdf.create(options.template, {
    phantomPath: `${phantomPath}`,
    ...
})

vjsrinath commented 7 years ago

@sohel-ahmed-ansari the issue was happening when i was using the official node image based on alphine linux. Later I created my own image based on ubuntu, it worked. I didn't have to install phantomjs globally. Take a look at my Dockerfile

Thanks

sohel-ahmed-ansari commented 7 years ago

@vjsrinath Didn't get what you mean. I already had global phantomjs installed, which was causing this issue. Had to remove the global version and install locally to solve it

vjsrinath commented 7 years ago

@sohel-ahmed-ansari I think we arrived at an issue from two different places. I was facing this issue in my docker container that was created from node alphine linux image. When i switched the base image to ubuntu it worked for me.

kitko112 commented 7 years ago

I have this problem when I use 8.7.0-alpin in my docker file. I got my problem solved just using 8.7.0-wheezy instead, no source code changes.

pepethree commented 6 years ago

facing the same issue. command line example has the same error. works great on my dev site. any new fixes?

AlessandroAnnini commented 6 years ago

Why is this close? what's the official solution?

Fabryprog commented 6 years ago

8.7.0-wheezy is the solution!!!

AlessandroAnnini commented 6 years ago

ciao! @Fabryprog, tnx but i was facing the same problem as @pepethree i think, or, at least it wasn't working for me. my solution is now to use node:8.11.1

infinito84 commented 6 years ago

Hi after searching everywhere I found this workaround that works on docker nodejs based on alpine:

Before npm install or yarn install to put this code: RUN wget -qO- "https://github.com/dustinblackman/phantomized/releases/download/2.1.1a/dockerized-phantomjs.tar.gz" | tar xz -C /

elvizcacho commented 6 years ago

After trying @infinito84 solution and adding some extra dependencies I managed to make it work like this on this image node:8.11.3-alpine:

# Add support for https on wget
RUN apk update && apk add --no-cache wget && apk --no-cache add openssl wget && apk add ca-certificates && update-ca-certificates

# Add phantomjs
RUN wget -qO- "https://github.com/dustinblackman/phantomized/releases/download/2.1.1a/dockerized-phantomjs.tar.gz" | tar xz -C / \
    && npm config set user 0 \
    && npm install -g phantomjs-prebuilt

# Add fonts required by phantomjs to render html correctly
RUN apk add --update ttf-dejavu ttf-droid ttf-freefont ttf-liberation ttf-ubuntu-font-family && rm -rf /var/cache/apk/*

cristin commented 6 years ago

Thank you @elvizcacho for this solution. I can confirm it works when using PhantomJS in Docker.

There is still an issue when attaching a volume to the docker service: UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Error: spawn Unknown system error -8

Has anybody encountered this issue before?

elvizcacho commented 6 years ago

@cristin Can you elaborate further what are you trying to do? If you are using html-pdf lib you have to set the phantomPath path on the option object to point to the global installed phantomjs as the example below:

const options = {
  format: 'Legal',
  orientation: 'portrait',
  phantomPath: '/usr/local/bin/phantomjs'
};

sudeepdk commented 5 years ago

This will work 100 % -- follow this it worked for me ...

const options = { format: 'Legal', orientation: 'portrait', phantomPath: '/usr/local/bin/phantomjs' };

I experienced this situation with the wrong path of

"runtimeExecutable": "/usr/local/bin/phantomjs",

after I correct it, the situation gone.

lipsakandhei commented 5 years ago

I was having the exact issue in windows. I solved the problem by :

downloading, installing and extracting phantomjs for windows phantomjs-2.1.1-windows.zip from https://phantomjs.org/download.html.
giving the path to the phantomjs.exe in my options variable: var options = { format: 'A4', "phantomPath": "C:\\Users\\HP\\Downloads\\phantomjs-2.1.1-windows\\phantomjs-2.1.1-windows\\bin\\phantomjs.exe" , type: 'pdf',timeout: 30000};

Hello @JoeChapman Why this way? In my case the phantomjs-prebuilt was in the /path/to/project/node_modules/phantomjs-prebuilt/lib/phantom/bin/phantomjs and the file /path/to/project/node_modules/phantomjs-prebuilt/lib/phantom/bin/phantomjs returned:
