Excel reports in executable Electron app
-
Hello,
I am trying to configure jsreport in electron app.
I followed example on https://jsreport.net/blog/pdf-reports-in-electron-app
I am using html-to-xlsx to generate the excel file.
But when I try to run my application I am getting following error:
error while generating or saving report: Error: Error while executing html-to-xlsx recipe. Failed to launch the browser process! spawn C:\dist\win-unpacked\resources\app.asar\node_modules\puppeteer\.local-chromium\win64-800071\chrome-win\chrome.exe ENOENT.Any idea why this could be or how to resolve issue?
Thanks for any help.

hi! i'm not 100% sure but it seems that the path here
C:\dist\win-unpacked\resources\app.asar\node_modules\puppeteer.local-chromium\win64-800071\chrome-win\chrome.exe ENOENT.is wrong, it seems it should beC:\dist\win-unpacked\resources\app.asar\node_modules\puppeteer\.local-chromium\win64-800071\chrome-win\chrome.exe, the difference ispuppeteer\.local-chromium. maybe you are setting that path in wrong way, check that this part of code is setting the correct path.// get correct path to chrome executable when running on compiled electron app process.env.extensions_chromePdf_launchOptions_executablePath = path.join(CWD, chromePath.slice(chromePath.indexOf('node_modules')))

This is the complete error
error while generating or saving report: Error: Error while executing html-to-xlsx recipe.
Failed to launch chrome! spawn C:\Users\pepe\AppData\Local\Programs\contafi\resources\app.asar\node_modules\puppeteer\.local-chromium\win64-706915\chrome-win\chrome.exe ENOENTSorry, I misspelled the previous error

hmm i still see the wrong path in the error
node_modules\puppeteer.local-chromium

I forgot to escape the point

ok, so if this is the path shown in the error then it seems that the path is ok but somehow it is not working, it can be that now in latest electron or electron builder there is a difference on how to make it work, i can try two things:
- try the steps mentioned in the https://jsreport.net/blog/pdf-reports-in-electron-app with latest electron, and electron build to verify the the steps are still working fine, if i find some issue i can update the post
- or if you can somehow setup a repository with the minimal code of your app to reproduce the problem i can give it a look and debug why it is now working
-
I have followed the same steps as in the blog https://jsreport.net/blog/pdf-reports-in-electron-app. I have only added the excel rendering using html-to-xlsx
