I am using jsreport to convert razor views to pdf. I have an issue with the download option on pdf in Chrome browser. On clicking the pdf download option a save dialog box is opened with the file name Error.aspx. Even on changing the .aspx extension to .pdf does not help. I get a error when trying to open the file saying “error when loading file”.

Other browsers are working fine.

Any idea why it tries to open a .aspx file instead of .pdf.

Running under a specific user I get a access denied error on c:\inetpub\wwwroot\myapp\jsreport
It tries to create a folder jsreport under my app and is unable to do so. Do I need to give some special permissions to the user or IIS_IUSRS on the folder where myapp resides?

Thanks. after I set the temp directory property it creates a folder at my desired location. But I still see a directory getting created under windows\temp with cli and compile folders only.
Is there a way to change that location also?

I am running the sample application which converts the Razor pages into pdf.
When the application is run it creates a jsReport folder in c:\windows\temp

Is this temp location configurable? Where in my asp.net core project can I define the path?

Thanks

I want to generate pdf from Razor view. Instead of using jsreport AsUtility i am trying to use AsWebServer

In Startup.cs

var rs = new LocalReporting().UseBinary(JsReportBinary.GetBinary()).AsWebServer().Create();

services.AddJsReport(rs);

This is not working and throws the following error
LocalWebServerReportingService not yet started. Call Start() first.

Is there anything that i am missing here?

Are you referring to this https://forum.jsreport.net/topic/288/deploying-solution-on-windows-server/24
I am already using the latest jsreport.local 1.1.2 and jsreport.binary 1.10.
I really could not find any solution on that post as to how to render reports using service identity under IIS.
Does JsReport local not work with Service Identity?
Is there a way to render pdf reports from Razor views by not using local jsreport in asp.net core web application?

After deploying application on the development server I get the following error

UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path c:\inetput\wwwroot\myappname\jsreport is denied.

It is failing on this line of code

services.AddJsReport(new LocalReporting().UseBinary(JsReportBinary.GetBinary()).AsUtility().Create());

I noticed that the error goes away when I change the app pool identity under IIS to run under 'Local System'.

But for security reasons I need to run the app pool under a network service account.

Is there a way I can make this run using network service account?

Please help
Thanks

I am trying to run js reports on asp.net core mvc project. I am following the example at https://github.com/jsreport/jsreport-dotnet-example-webapp

I want to run it as windows as a service on http://localhost:5488. Where do I put this url to make it run?
Do I need to make a change on this line?
https://github.com/jsreport/jsreport-dotnet-example-webapp/blob/20d6c128604c4530a5eeb149845730befdc251f2/Startup.cs#L16

Please advise
Thanks

If MiddlewareFilter is not invoked probably that is the reason.
Does that mean, I cannot generate for e.g. pdf reports if I am using Razor Pages? Does jsreport only work on MVC projects?

Hello,
I am trying jsreport in ASP.NET Core 2.1 Razor pages. I am following the example given at
https://github.com/jsreport/jsreport-dotnet-example-webapp/blob/master/Controllers/HomeController.cs#L26.

I have a similar method on my Razor Page

public class IndexModel : PageModel
{
public void OnGet()
{

    }

    [MiddlewareFilter(typeof(JsReportPipeline))]
    public IActionResult OnPostGeneratePdf()
    {
        
        HttpContext.JsReportFeature().Recipe(Recipe.PhantomPdf);
        return Page();
    }
}

The problem is that HttpContext.JsReportFeature() is null and I get an object reference error. I already added the required code in startup.cs.

The sample app provided at https://github.com/jsreport/jsreport-dotnet-example-webapp runs perfectly fine locally. The only difference is that the sample app is MVC based with Model-View-Controllers whereas I am using the Razor Pages.

Appreciate any help on this.
Thank you
