3. Asset not working in JS Report Single Executable File

Asset not working in JS Report Single Executable File

  • A

    Asset for External CSS linking is not working in Single Executable JS Report. My header will look like,

        <style>
        {#asset ./styles.css @encoding=utf8}
    </style>

    My Directory looks like,

       arpa@ubuntu:~/Documents/static$ ls
   data.json   index.html   jsreport  styles.css

    Command Executed in Terminal,

    arpa@ubuntu:~/Documents/static$ ./jsreport render  --template.engine=handlebars  --template.recipe=chrome-pdf  --template.content=index.html --data=data.json  --out=out.pdf

    Error shows like Asset file is not found

    rendering has finished with errors:
A critical error occurred while trying to execute the render command (2). Asset ./styles.css not found (1).

  • You need to give jsreport "permissions" to read your local files.
    This can be done with environment variable like this:

    set allowLocalFilesAccess=true&&jsreport render --template...

    Still It is showing the Same Error.

    arpa@ubuntu:~/Documents/static$ set allowLocalFilesAccess=true&&./jsreport render  --template.engine=handlebars  --template.recipe=chrome-pdf  --template.content=index.html --data=data.json  --out=out.pdf
starting rendering process..

    I also gave all permissions for all files.

    arpa@ubuntu:~/Documents/static$ ls -l
total 247900
-rwxrwxrwx 1 arpa arpa    464487 Apr 16 19:20 data.json

  • Hmm, I can't replicate it. The same works for me.
    Could you add the --verbose flag and share the output?

    jsreport render --verbose ...

    Output with --verbose flag

    arpa@ubuntu:~/Documents/static$ ./jsreport render --verbose  --template.engine=handlebars  --template.recipe=chrome-pdf  --template.content=index.html --data=data.json  --out=out.pdf

  • Maybe it's some kind of permissions problem, but I am not very good at Linux permissions.
    I tried this several times and not able to replicate it.
    Could you try it on a different PC? Maybe there is something wrong in the set up.
    @bjrmatos could you try this as well if it works for you?
