tfoot overlapping with Headers in PhantomPDF

jan_blaha

well you need to include both
jsreport-electron-pdf as well as electron packages in the package.json

Maybe it would be better for you to run beanstalk docker based configuration and specify the jsreport/jsreport:1.7.0-full image which has this recipe preinstalled, because it requires to use Xvfb on linux

I still don't see the jsreport-electron-pdf as dependency in your package.json. You need to add it there.

papegowda

thank you very much yes, i have missed the 'jsreport-electron-pdf', now after adding this i am able to get the electron in the list.

one more thing, currently i am using "blobStorage": "fileSystem". whenever i change the package.json and deploy this in AWS, i am loosing the existing data, templates, scripts etc...

papegowda

the electron pdf is not rendering i am getting timeout error

blobStorage is for storing output reports, not the templates.... you should try to check out this https://jsreport.net/blog/jsreport-on-amazon-elastic-beanstalk
as I mentioned you need to start the node process through xvfb as here
https://github.com/jsreport/jsreport/blob/master/docker/full/run.sh#L43
or use the jsreport full docker image which has it included

papegowda

hi,

I am not familiar with xvfb and also we are not using docker.
Please let us know how can we install jsreports using xvfb,
Currently we have installed this in AWS using
https://jsreport.net/blog/jsreport-on-amazon-elastic-beanstalk

papegowda

Please help me on this, i was struck badly on this.

@papegowda you don't need to use docker to configure xvfb, just try to extract the important parts of the sh file that we shared with you

first, make sure you have xvfb and relevant dependencies for electron are installed in your system, using something like the following:

apt-get install -y xvfb libgtk2.0-dev libxtst-dev libxss1 libgconf2-dev libnss3-dev libasound2-dev xfonts-75dpi xfonts-base

then just use some commands present in our sh file, like these:

echo Trying to remove the lock on displat 99
rm /tmp/.X99-lock > /dev/null 2>&1

echo Running display 99
Xvfb :99 -screen 0 1024x768x24 > /dev/null 2>&1 &

echo Starting node.js
export DISPLAY=:99 && node "/usr/src/app/server.js" # instead of  node "/usr/src/app/server.js" you will need to use the command that you use to start the jsreport server

you can even put these commands in a sh script designed for start your jsreport app.

try to be patient and to understand those commands, it is not much hard, just do it step by step.

papegowda

thank you very much for your replay.

actually the electron pdf is running in local without any issues, but when i deploy this to amazon elasticbean and there it is not working.

and also i have included the following in .ebeextention

.ebextensions/xvfb.config

packages:
yum:
xorg-x11-server-Xvfb: []

but still electron is giving time out error

papegowda

hi,
we are using 'CentOS Linux', so i am trying to install xvfb and relative dependencies for electron as per your suggestion but some of these dependencies are not available in yum install.

Please let us know is there any link which explains on how to install these dependencies in 'CentOS Linux'

bjrmatos

hi, it must be that those dependencies has other names in the yum registry, unfortunately i don't have the equivalent names for yum, you will need to search for it on your own.

for example in this page there are some dependencies listed for CentOS, for others dependencies not in the list you will need to search the equivalent, like "how to install xvfb on CentOS?" on Google
