Accessing local JSReport server from local NodeJS application

Michelle Langley

I'm a JS amateur; please forgive me if I'm doing something wrong here. I have a local JSReport server setup using the instructions here: https://jsreport.net/on-prem. The localhost:5488 interface works, and I'm able to generate PDFs there.
My goal is to render a report from a separate NodeJS application on the same server. I installed the jsreport npm module in that application's folder, and then tried this script, but I get Unable to find specified template (Invoice).

const fs = require('fs').promises
const jsreport = require('jsreport')({
    extensions: {
        express: { enabled: false },
        studio: { enabled: false }
    }
})


async function main() {
    await jsreport.init()
    const result = await jsreport.render({
        template: {
            name: 'Invoice',
            engine: 'handlebars',
            recipe: 'chrome-pdf',
        }
    })
    await fs.writeFile('report.pdf', result.content)
}

main();

I also tried using @jsreport/node-client with the instructions here: https://jsreport.net/learn/nodejs-client, but I get the same error.

I'm sure I'm doing something wrong, but I haven't been able to figure it out yet. Thank you for any help you can provide!

I figured out what I was doing wrong. The template name is actually "invoice-main".
