3. Error in rendering reports

Error in rendering reports

  • B

    Hi, we ran npm install jsreport-phantom-pdf --save in server. Phantom PDF is present in the node_modules directory.

    Still, we are getting the same error while generating the report

    'Error: Recipe 'phantom-pdf' not found. If this is a custom recipe make sure it's properly installed from npm.'

    Please advice...

  • Have you restarted jsreport after installing phantom recipe? Please share the output logs.

    Hi,

    Yes, we restarted pm2 after installing jsreport-phantom-pdf.

    This is the error we got while generating the PDF.

    { Error: Recipe 'phantom-pdf' not found. If this is a custom recipe make sure it's properly installed from npm.

    @yamsgam @balajisr i'm a bit confused now, your package.json says that you are using jsreport v1, but all the steps i was mentioning in my previous comments were about jsreport v2, and according to @balajisr comments he was trying jsreport v2 too, but now i see that you have something different, not sure what is happening, could it be that you are not trying it in the right project?

    Hi,

    Thank you for your support and time.

    Node modules are not updated to recent version.

    So I updated all modules using below commands:

    npm outdated
    npm install -g npm-check-updates
    ncu -u
    npm install

    Now using recent version of modules:

    "jsreport": "^2.1.1",
    "jsreport-browser-client-dist": "^1.0.4",
    "jsreport-client": "^1.0.0",
    "jsreport-jsrender": "^2.0.0",
    "jsreport-phantom-pdf": "^2.1.3",

    But still we are getting below error:

    { Error: Recipe 'phantom-pdf' not found. If this is a custom recipe make sure it's properly installed from npm.

    are you using two projects? or are you using one project? if you are using one project i guess you are using two processes, one where you start jsreport server and another where you use jsreport-client to communicate with the jsreport server. it looks like you are not restarting the jsreport server after the npm updates. is the jsreport server in your same machine? or is it in another server with different ip? maybe you are not updating the server in which the jsreport server is running, all my comments about the updates should be done for the jsreport server.

    i think you are getting confused by the setup done in your side (or at least i'm with all the comments at this point). with the information that i have it is not clear to me how your setup looks like, we don't know the details about how are you starting the server or if you are using two different machines. i would say try to make it work the simplest way (without using pm2) and then after verify that you don't have any errors start to look at making it production ready (with the help of pm2)

    Hi,

    We completely reinstalled node.js and jsreport in our server.

    Now we are not getting "Recipe 'phantom-pdf' not found Error".

    But we are not able to save templates. On click of save button, getting following error:

    Hi,

    We are able to eliminate all previous errors. But still report is not generating through our code.

    since your logs say that the report was generated correctly, the only hint that i have is that probably you are using the jsreport-client package in wrong after updating it (but i'm not sure at this point if you update it too or not). so i'm going to paste here my previous comment about that and you should verify that you have correct version of jsreport-client and that you are using it as expected.

    previous comment:

    what version of jsreport-client are you using? in latest one (jsreport-client 1.0.0) version calling client.render will return a promise (it is not expected a callback anymore), you can find example usage with latest version here.
