PDF invoices broken

humptydumpty

All invoices are broken regardless of which template I use. I installed a new IN app to see if it's isolated issue but the error shows on the new install as well. Is this an upstream or packaging issue?

It seems they have fixed it upstream. Can we please get the changes pushed to the CR app?

Thanks!

I think this is related https://forum.invoiceninja.com/t/invoice-ninja-broken/9589

@humptydumpty they haven't made a new release yet . Per https://github.com/invoiceninja/invoiceninja/releases , 5.3.49 is the latest.

@girish quoting a mod on IN's forum.... should I proceed with this method?

The work around for the broken chromium is as follows, we suggest installing headless chrome directly to your machine:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y libappindicator1 fonts-liberation
wget https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i google-chrome*.deb

Then update your .env variable as follows

SNAPPDF_CHROMIUM_PATH=/usr/bin/google-chrome-stable

Then optimize

php artisan optimize

I got another reply from the mod that's specific to Cloudron

For cloudron, it is a read only file system, you’ll want to open your .env and change

PDF_GENERATOR=hosted_ninja

you may need to restart your app again afterwards

Yeah I saw that, not sure why this would be an issue here. The chromium binary is downloaded on image build time. But maybe snappdf need some local cache, if that is the case we can symlink this folder.

Anyways I would still say we wait for upstream release with their fix, instead of installing google-chrome on the side, patch the config file and all.

If this issue is a blocker, please just revert your Cloudron app to the previous version for now.

@nebulon Editing the env file as David suggested did fix the issue but you're right, it's best if I revert back to an older version for now.

It's definitely a breaking issue because you can't see the invoice at all no matter whether it's previewed or downloaded so clients wouldn't be able to view/pay it.

For the curious ones out there, toggling "PHANTOMJS_PDF_GENERATION=false" to true will give you a grey background and an empty file on the invoice PDF's.

And if you don't want to revert back, editing the env file to the following will fix the issue:

PHANTOMJS_PDF_GENERATION=false
PDF_GENERATOR=hosted_ninja

The real "bug" is being tracked here - https://github.com/beganovich/snappdf/issues/22

I have revoked the latest Cloudron app package now also and we wait for the upstream project to make a fixed release.

Cloudron makes it easy to run web apps like WordPress, Nextcloud, GitLab on your server. Find out more or install now.
