Is this just a warning in 3.5 or is it slowing down my pdf generation?
production jsreport instances should use enterprise scale license which doesn't limit the license key usage
Sadly switching from a manual (terrible) paging solution that was using PUG to render html to Handlebars and pdfUtils has increased generation time 10x.
Thank for the additional answers Jan Blaha! Very helpful and boost my confidence. I'm unable to share more code due to my company policies, if I get time I will try to create a simple playground that can reproduce the issue I was seeing.
I'm unable to email or share our code so I guess I'm out of luck unless we purchase a support package and demo the problem over a call.
My font size problem may have been related to the width/height problem I had after changing how I was rendering indexes. I'll have to circle back to that version of code and see if it was the root cause.
It was also very very very slow rendering speeds (or never finishing) when using {{component }} and had to remove 15+ components and just embed everything in my main template to increase render speed. I thought the components were supposed to help with speed? Specifically where I was rendering a Person type of object and it used a component called Attribute like 20 times, and then I was rendering thousands of Persons.
Im frequently getting this error in the studio but re-runing the request usually fixes it, there error is not very clear as to what or why its happening but its concerning that when I move these changes to production it will continue. Is this in my code? It seems to occur after a successful run on the next attempt.
I will have to check with the company if I can do that. In a crunch to finish this as I've been trying to get a product working for a month now.
I had another problem with my workaround but was luckily able to identify that for some reason having width: 100%, height: 100% on one of my components was making only one page of the content render. There were 4 sections that should be 32 pages long and it would only render 1 page of each section.
I wasn't able to get a playground example to reproduce the issue. I'm working around the problem by not merging my index template and instead just appending it though I lose table of content links this way. I also have to hardcode my font-size to 18pt font for it to be similar to my main template with the same font at 12pt. Its really strange.
I could reproduce with my local production dataset by removing completely random entries until it was small or fast enough to render with the correct font. Something about timing? with merging a template and using pdfUtils...
My attempt to create a playground: https://playground.jsreport.net/w/anon/qR7bX8Ap
I don't think it can be reproduced here due to requiring a long run time and large dataset.
Update: I was able to produce the problem with a 25 page file that was using a 1MB sample dataset and fix/create the issue by adding or removing a small amount of data.
I'm trying to create a 200~ page PDF that includes indexes, im using pdfUtils to merge the index template and look up page numbers. It seems like if there is too much data or it takes a long time the styles specified are not respected? If I cut my data down I get the correct font size. I have wait for network idle specified on the Main and Indexes templates. I tried creating a sample to show my problem but I dont think the playground allows the longer running samples?
The font is pulled in from a handlebars component named Styles:
<link rel="preconnect" href="https://fonts.googleapis.com">
<link rel="preconnect" href="https://fonts.gstatic.com" crossorigin>
<link href={{{style.fontUrl}}} rel="stylesheet">
<style>
{{asset "../Stylesheets/base.css"}}
{{asset "../Stylesheets/legendpage.css"}}
html, body {
font-size: {{style.fontSize}};
font-family: {{{style.fontFamily}}} !important;
line-height: {{style.lineHeight}} !important;
}
...
The Main template:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta content="text/html; charset=utf-8" http-equiv="Content-Type" />
<title>{{pdfTitle}}</title>
{{component "./Styles"}}
</head>
<body>
...
{{childTemplate (htmlTemplate "./Indexes")}}
...
Here is something of an index template:
{{component "./Styles"}}
...
<section>
...
<h3>{{header}}</h3>
<ul>
{{#each entries}}
<li>
<span>{{label}}</span>
{{#each pageRef}}
<span>{{pageNumber}}</span>
{{/each}}
</li>
{{/each}}
</ul>
</section>
{{/each}}
Wrong font size on page numbers:

If I run my very small sample dataset It appears to render the font sizes fine:
