Markdown 1.4.3 - unable to create PDF from md #185

Open sztrzask opened 4 years ago

sztrzask commented 4 years ago

When I try to create pdf from markdown file that includes tables and images, nothing happens. HTML is generated but pdf is not - the process either never ends or ends with timeout. I'm using 1.4.3

yzane commented 4 years ago

Did you create a PDF with Markdown 1.4.2 ? Could you provide a sample file that causes a problem ?

Any kind of .md file doesn't work, even this.

Last time I checked it was working was a month ago - it was latest version at that time.

Can you solve the problem with the following operation ?

  1. Set the markdown-pdf.executablePath option
  2. Restart the Visual Studio Code
sztrzask commented 4 years ago

Yup, that solves the issue. Is there an alternative to this?

yzane commented 4 years ago

If the PDF was generated using the markdown-pdf.executablePath option, you may have failed to automatically download Chromium. Therefore, please reinstall markdown-pdf.

I've got the same problem.

Problem: " The extension is not able to download and install chromium". Test Environment:

I'm sorry but I'm quite busy today If I had time I will provide more data.

Regards and thank you for your work in the project, It's very helpful for me and my students.

I've upgraded vscode and the extension in MacOs, and now Markdown-pdf is working again:

Thank you! Regards

  1. Set the markdown-pdf.executablePath option
  2. Restart the Visual Studio Code

Is this the executable path? /Applications/Google\ Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google\ Chrome

Setting executable like @yzane mentioned fixes the problem for me.
