Hi,

I'm facing the same issue. We're using version 2.1.0

Thank you for helping

try to install like I do......... Go to your node_modules folder through terminal and use the command "sudo node ./install.js" or "sudo node ./install.js -f"............ this will definitely install this module.....

Paul-JO commented 5 years ago

In my case this solved the issue: $ (sudo) npm link phantomjs-prebuilt

I am not an expert, but it seems that since html-pdf is installed globally you have to link these global installations to your project. So my installation looks like this:

$ (sudo) npm install html-pdf -g $ (sudo) npm link html-pdf $ (sudo) npm link phantomjs-prebuilt

If this is somehow not the real way to go, I would be happy about other suggestions as I am planning to use this for an upcoming project.

balaji4191 commented 5 years ago

Thanks @Paul-JO Working fine

Paul-JO commented 5 years ago

Great that it works @balaji4191 I noticed some issues after doing this when installing new packages as those linked packages do not contain repository fields in their package descriptions. To solve this one would need to remove the node_modules folder, install the new package and to link the html-pdf and phantomjs again.

stemtra commented 5 years ago

Are you using html-pdf on the frontend or the server? I've been using it on the server without any trouble but I just tried to use it on the frontend in order to save the data transfered (up to 1mb per generated PDF), and this error happened...

I have Win10 and Node 6.11 and NPM 6.6.0-next.0 with html-pdf ^2.2.0 in my package.json for one of my projects. I too faced this error even after redoing npm install html-pdf. I just did a npm link html-pdf that resulted in d:\nodejs\html-pdf -> d:\nodejs\node_modules\html-pdf\bin\index.js > phantomjs-prebuilt@2.1.16 install d:\nodejs\node_modules\html-pdf\node_modules\phantomjs-prebuilt > node install.js PhantomJS not found on PATH Downloading https://github.com/Medium/phantomjs/releases/download/v2.1.1/phantomjs-2.1.1-windows.zip Saving to C:\Users\vijaya.m\AppData\Local\Temp\phantomjs\phantomjs-2.1.1-windows.zip Receiving...

An npm rebuild might be needed, see https://github.com/Medium/phantomjs, section "Cross-Platform Repositories". This was the reason, when we encountered this problem. See also pull request #555

NathanD14 commented 4 years ago

I'm using 2.1.16 and this worked for me npm install phantomjs-prebuilt@2.1.16 --update-binary

Nana7926 commented 4 years ago

First install phantomjs using, brew tap homebrew/cask brew cask install phantomjs

Try if "phantomjs -v" works.

If works, then type "which phantomjs", this is where the /path/to/phantomjs

Then edit /usr/local/bin/html-pdf > lib > pdf.js Add the line after "this.options = options || {}" this.options.phantomPath = "/path/to/phantomjs"

This solved the problem for me.

Install PhantomJs

https://www.vultr.com/docs/how-to-install-phantomjs-on-ubuntu-16-04 Check phantomjs --version -> O/p 2.1.1

Then in the htm-pdf module html-pdf -> lib -> pdf.js Add the line after "this.options = options || {}" this.options.phantomPath = "/usr/local/bin/phantomjs"

In html-pdf option, we have a property phantomPath: `// File options "type": "pdf", // allowed file types: png, jpeg, pdf "quality": "75", // only used for types png & jpeg

// Script options "phantomPath": "./node_modules/phantomjs/bin/phantomjs", // PhantomJS binary which should get downloaded automatically "phantomArgs": [], // array of strings used as phantomjs args e.g. ["--ignore-ssl-errors=yes"] "localUrlAccess": false, // Prevent local file:// access by passing '--local-url-access=false' to phantomjs ` Ubuntu server cannot found phantom from node-modules so I had to install phantomjs by the script and pass the path '/usr/local/bin/phantomjs' to that option. It worked for me, very crazy issue.

The script to run in Docker file: RUN apk add --no-cache curl && \ cd /tmp && curl -Ls https://github.com/dustinblackman/phantomized/releases/download/2.1.1/dockerized-phantomjs.tar.gz | tar xz && \ cp -R lib lib64 / && \ cp -R usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu /usr/lib && \ cp -R usr/share /usr/share && \ cp -R etc/fonts /etc && \ curl -k -Ls https://bitbucket.org/ariya/phantomjs/downloads/phantomjs-2.1.1-linux-x86_64.tar.bz2 | tar -jxf - &&\ cp phantomjs-2.1.1-linux-x86_64/bin/phantomjs /usr/local/bin/phantomjs && \ rm -fR phantomjs-2.1.1-linux-x86_64 && \ apk del curl

In options of pdf.create(html,options) add below : "phantomPath": "./node_modules/phantomjs-prebuilt/bin/phantomjs",.

Notice I am mentioned phantomjs-prebuilt & not default phantomjs.

I was able to run thie library by above methods on all devices without any global installations.

scristian9 commented 2 years ago

Very thanks this solution work for me in serverless.

My steps were:

$ npm install phantomjs-prebuilt

pdf.create(html,{ "phantomPath": "./node_modules/phantomjs-prebuilt/bin/phantomjs" });

Then 🚀

I faced the same error and I downgrade my node version from v16.14.1 to v14.18.1 and it is working fo me now

czarjulius commented 11 months ago

This is how I resolved mine. I performed an upgrade on my Docker node, transitioning fromnode:16.15.0-slim to node:20.5.0. It's working perfectly now.

This was it for me although phantomPath: "./node_modules/phantomjs-prebuilt/bin/phantomjs"
