'html-pdf: PDF generation timeout. Phantom.js script did not exit.' on Debian Wheezy about node-html-pdf HOT 10 CLOSED

Apparently phantomjs has a dependency on libfontconfig.
So you have to install it using apt-get install libfontconfig.

from node-html-pdf.

As stated on the phantomjs page, there are the following dependencies on centos:
sudo yum install fontconfig freetype libfreetype.so.6 libfontconfig.so.1 libstdc++.so.6
Did that work for you?

I tried to run the unit tests, only the first 5 are passing. It stucks on 'task watch..' I don't really know what to do now to make any progress.

The task watch watches for changes in the filesystem. I think it's the correct behaviour to wait for changes. It will execute the tests again when you edit some files.

Hi! Will try that asap. Keeping you updated.

from node-html-pdf.

The html I provide seems to be the issue now. Installing the libs fixed the pdf generation (working with one-line html string). Thanks and sorry for the trouble.

from node-html-pdf.

No problem. Thanks for digging into this. I'll update the readme with the dependencies.
Does multiline html not work? I don't have any problem with that.

from node-html-pdf.

No what I meant was that my big chunk of html that I was passing as a string contained something wrong. I tried out of the blue with a <div>trololol</div> as an input and it worked. I should have just have thought PBKAC instead of 'woot, this library is not working'

😄 Ok

I am facing same issue, my html is also correct, everything is ok but it does not work
html-pdf : 2.1.0

from node-html-pdf.

Increase the timeout value option (Eg.):
var options = { ..., timeout: 30000 };

from node-html-pdf.

I faced the issue recently on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. Tried almost every solution here and nothing worked. Finally this helped me resolve it.

1. Install phantomjs on your local machine (instructions)
2. In the CreateOptions that you pass to pdf.create, add phantomPath
   Here is my updated CreateOptions

 const pdfOptions = {
    format: "A4", // allowed units: A3, A4, A5, Legal, Letter, Tabloid
    orientation: "portrait", // portrait or landscape
    // Rendering options
    // base: assetPath, // Base path that's used to load files (images, css, js) when they aren't referenced using a host
    localUrlAccess: true, // Prevent local file:// access by passing '--local-url-access=false' to phantomjs
    type: "pdf", // allowed file types: png, jpeg, pdf,
    phantomPath: "/usr/local/bin/phantomjs", // the local installation of phantomjs (use which phantomjs after step 1 to get this path)
  };
