[0.5.1]

• Fixup artisan cronjobs

This will fix the cron warning. Root cause were some php features which were disabled by default in the ubuntu php.ini but were required by artisan.

Are there any further outstanding issues anyone has detected?

500: Internal Server Error
Quotes -> View PDF / EMail quote

Same for Invoices.

From the log:

[2021-03-18 16:38:53] production.ERROR: The file "/app/data/public-storage/w5ydmyvt3smecevxmv4ahznnxdpdpk4rpqsbfreldfpzdgjk8nlcsoyikm85newy/WUFzx8BMMlNLapGCed7k1p4MtLipFTpsrTHHOV1i/quotes/0001.pdf" does not exist {"exception":"[object] (Symfony\\Component\\HttpFoundation\\File\\Exception\\FileNotFoundException(code: 0): The file \"/app/data/public-storage/w5ydmyvt3smecevxmv4ahznnxdpdpk4rpqsbfreldfpzdgjk8nlcsoyikm85newy/WUFzx8BMMlNLapGCed7k1p4MtLipFTpsrTHHOV1i/quotes/0001.pdf\" does not exist at /app/code/vendor/symfony/http-foundation/File/File.php:36)
[stacktrace] 

And yes: it's true. There is no /quotes/* in the public-storage folder. No idea why!

Thanks for trying out the beta!

For the cron issue can you confirm that the crons are running? It can help to manually run the cron from the command line removing the parts after >

cd /path-to-your-project && php artisan schedule:run

For the PDF error which renderer are you using Chrome or PhantomJS? I'd be curious to know if changing between them helps.

@luckow if you click "Daten Aktualisieren" then the warning on the bottom left should go away. I am checking why it doesn't do this withouth. The artisan jobs should be triggered every minute.

[nebulon]

@luckow I can confirm the issue as well. I also tried to create the whole subfolder tree just to try out, but it does not fix it. Also I can't make out any permissions issue, so I think the pdf generation fails first, then triggering the 500 error, since the expected result pdf does not exist.

Unfortunately I am not able so far to find further logs for the pdf generation.

@hillel369 we do use phantomjs-2.1.1-linux-x86_64 here. Not actually sure how to switch to chrome

Installing a new copy of the app works.

@luckow hm I can't reproduce the issue you are seeing

[hillel369]

@nebulon Hi, there's info here about changing PDF renderers

https://invoiceninja.github.io/docs/self-host-troubleshooting/#pdf-conversion-issues

If you need more help feel free to email us at contact@invoiceninja.com

[nebulon]

@hillel369 ah I see, so I guess the phantomjs installed within the app is not even used anymore then with v5. I had no clue about the cloud service.

I will see how the configuration needs to be tweaked. Thanks for the pointer!

[0.5.3]

• Update InvoiceNinja to 5.1.31
• Fix snappdf usage

So pdf rendering should work fine now.
I've also added a lot more API tests, however for some reason they behave quite inconsitently when the user has never logged into the webinterface. Since the flutter UI is quite hard or remote control via selenium, I am not sure how to further automate this though.
