FileNotFoundException error rendering the template

[dsenoran]

I have downloaded and tried you .net example

Console.WriteLine("Rendering template");

            var rs = new LocalReporting()
                .UseBinary(JsReportBinary.GetBinary())
                .KillRunningJsReportProcesses()
                .Configure(cfg => cfg.FileSystemStore().BaseUrlAsWorkingDirectory())
                .AsUtility()
                .Create();

            var report = rs.RenderByNameAsync("myTemplate", null).Result;

            using (var fs = File.Create("test.pdf"))
            {
                report.Content.CopyTo(fs);
            }

and I have the next error "FileNotFoundException: Could not find file 'C:\Users\dsenoran\AppData\Local\Temp\jsreport\autocleanup\metaac2524b0-f501-487a-b759-6dabaaf28b9f'"

Hi could you try this example as it is?
https://github.com/jsreport/jsreport-dotnet-example-consoleapp/

Does it fail as well? Can you try to pause the antivirus temporarily?
Does it help?

[dsenoran]

Yes, both are failing with the same error and I have paused the antivirus.

[jan_blaha]

Thank you. Maybe something on your computer is clearing up the jsreport temp directory.

Could you try to change the temp location?
https://jsreport.net/learn/dotnet-local#temp-files

new LocalReporting().TempDirectory("my temp path")

[dsenoran]

Thanks for your quick answer, I already do this but the error persist.
The "autocleanup" directory exists but the file "metaac2524b0-f501-487a-b759-6dabaaf28b9f' not.

Hi, this looks strange. I am trying to discover a situation when this could happen...

Could you try the following to help with problem isolation, please?
Take the jsreport binary from jsreport\dotnet\binary-default-2.9.0.0\jsreport.exe and copy it somewhere and run the following (where test.html as a file with a random text)

jsreport.exe render --template.content=test.html --template.engine=handlebars --template.recipe=chrome-pdf --out=out.pdf --meta=out.meta

Does this produce properly the out.meta file?

Also, it is worth it to try to update to the latest jsreport. Could you update jsreport.Binary nuget to 2.11?
Also the other jsreport nugets if there are available updates.

[dsenoran]

I have updated the nuget packages but I have the same error.
The command works after I have renamed the file nssm64.exe in "jsreport/compile/jsreport-2.11.0-SJu_2xpjD" folder to nssm.exe because before this I got an error due to it couldn't find this file.
The meta file has been generated with this data:

[jan_blaha]

hm, and do you have x64 windows? jsreport won't run on x32, although I would expect a different exception.

[dsenoran]

Yes, i have x64 Windows

[dsenoran]

This is the error I get if I don't rename nssm64.exe to nssm.exe

jsreport.exe render --template.content=test.html --template.engine=handlebars --template.recipe=chrome-pdf --out=out.pdf --meta=out.meta

[jan_blaha]

This is strange. It looks like the content of your extracted jsreport binary is corrupted. See how it looks for me. There are both nssm.exe files.

Could you try to delete folder C:\Users\dsenoran\AppData\Local\Temp\jsreport\ and start the project with jsreport.Binary@2.11.0 again?
