Exporting from TLDraw to PNG, JPG doesn't work

[rchau]

I'm running TLDraw on a 2GB Digital Ocean VPS managed via Cloudron. I've allocated 1GB memory to the TLDraw app, I believe the default was 256MB.

I am using the app on:

• desktop Firefox (MacOS)
• Brave Browser (Android)

Drawing shapes, adding images, exporting a .tldraw file all work fine. The problem was when I tried to export to a PNG, SVG or JPG. None of them worked, they all generated the following error in the browser console:

> Uncaught (in promise) TypeError: p is null
>     e index.mjs:15
>     e index.mjs:15
>     s runtime.js:45

Has anyone experienced this or found a solution?

Not sure how TLDraw exports, if this is client side or server side. If client side, then this may be an upstream bug, otherwise do you see any errors, maybe missing dependencies on the server side app logs?

I can reproduce this one . However, the upstream project has already moved on to tldraw 2.0 at this point . It's already open! Let's see if I can update it.

Hello, sorry for the late reply. I checked the Cloudron logs, unfortunately there was no error message when the PNG/JPG export failed. Here is a warning message I received during application startup a few days ago...not sure if it's relevant or related:

> Jun 13 20:29:11 @tldraw/www:start: $ next start
> Jun 13 20:29:11 @tldraw/www:start: cache miss, executing 216fa10b451709c4

Jun 13 20:29:11 @tldraw/www:start: warning Skipping preferred cache folder "/usr/local/share/.cache/yarn" because it is not writable.

@girish is this error occurring on TLDraw 2.0?

Thanks!

@rchau the error is not occuring in 2.0 but running 2.0 in a readonly docker container is quite a task.. Still figuring out how to do it.

@girish The TLDraw v2 is so much better in many ways. Have you made any progress on this? Thanks!

[girish]

@stevespaw we will update it, but I don't have a timeline yet.

[girish]

@stevespaw it's updated now.

The original issue of export is also fixed in the latest package (the latest package updated tldraw to 2.0)
