Not working with Windows and Symfony 2.3 about knpsnappybundle HOT 15 CLOSED

Hi @btit , I had the same problem and just solved it. The problem is with the path to the pdf binary. Finally when I put path inside escaped double quotes, I fixed the problem.

binary: "\"C:/Program Files (x86)/wkhtmltopdf/wkhtmltopdf.exe\""

Let me know if this works for you.

This worked for me:

knp_snappy:
    pdf:
        enabled:    true
        binary:     "\"C:\\Program Files\\wkhtmltopdf\\bin\\wkhtmltopdf.exe\""
        options:    []
    image:
        enabled:    true
        binary:     "\"C:\\Program Files\\wkhtmltopdf\\bin\\wkhtmltopdf.exe\""
        options:    []

Thank you @atulmy your solution worked for me

@sonnylloyd

You can even move it inside your '/project/app/Resources/native/' directory if wkhtmltopdf is not shared between different projects and use it in this way (with few helpful PDF settings):

knp_snappy:
    pdf:
        enabled: true
        binary: "%kernel.root_dir%/Resources/native/windows/wkhtmltopdf/bin/wkhtmltopdf.exe" 
        #binary: "%kernel.root_dir%/Resources/native/linux/wkhtmltopdf/bin/wkhtmltopdf"
        options:
            lowquality: false
            dpi: 300
            orientation: portrait
            grayscale: true

@atulmy Thanks !

Have you tried with C:/wkhtmltopdf/wkhtmltopdf.exe in the "binary" parameter ?

from knpsnappybundle.

knowing the number of problems with windows / paths, I'm wondering if it wouldn't be good to make a special "smart" wrapper that tries to find the binary and configure it correctly.

i have the same problem as you and finally it wokrs for me .
1/ i have installed wkhtmltopdf from windows installer here http://code.google.com/p/wkhtmltopdf/downloads/detail?name=wkhtmltopdf-0.9.9-installer.exe&can=2&q=
2/ and then i have added wkhtmltopdf in my path enviroment so it would be accessible directly :
My snappy config looks like this:

knp_snappy:
pdf:
enabled: true
binary: wkhtmltopdf
options: []
image:
enabled: true
binary: wkhtmltoimage
options: []
PS : this step can be ignored because at this stage i still have the same error : stderr: "'wkhtmltopdf' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

3/ The best solution is to copy your wkhtmltopdf (which contains the wkhtmltopdf.exe and some .dll files ) installation directory to you C:\wamp\www\Project\web directory
then when you call the generate method from your controller he find this command installed

i wish if this idea help you .

I been trying to set this in knp_config.yml this so i can work with either with linux or Windows

knp_snappy:
    linux:
        enabled:    true
        binary:     %kernel.root_dir%/../bin/wkhtmltox/bin/wkhtmltopdf
        options:    []
    win:
        enabled:    true
        binary:     %kernel.root_dir%/../bin/wkhtmltox/bin/wkhtmltopdf.exe
        options:    []

So i can call the service like this..

$this->get("knp_snappy.win")->....

But had no luck, it says unrecognized options "linux" and "windows".

from knpsnappybundle.

@tblanco82 yeah, it doesn't work like that.

the only options you have are "image" or "pdf".
there is no such option as "linux" or "windows".
We don't detect platform, you have to configure it by hand, each platform/deploy being different.

Thanks @docteurklein,
I already detected user agent OS, now i gotta change binary parameter.
Would it be possible to change this binary parameter doing something like this?

$this->get("knp_snappy.pdf")->setBinary("path/to/wkhtmltopdf.exe");

from knpsnappybundle.

you have to check the api, I don't remember if it's possible.

from knpsnappybundle.

you can also take advantage of symfony enviroments and compile a different container based on ENV variables (and arch)

from knpsnappybundle.

Just for reference, for windows there is also https://github.com/wemersonjanuario/wkhtmltopdf-windows so you can use composer and wkhtmltopdf on windows :)
