I am trying to install wicked_pdf in order to generate pre-filled contracts between 2 users on my Rails application.
I feel like I have installed wicked_pdf properly, but I get an "ActionController::UnknownFormat" error.
What I did :
# Gemfile
gem 'wicked_pdf'
gem 'wkhtmltopdf-binary'
With or without uncommenting the 'exe...' lines (one after the other), I still get the error :
# initializers/wicked_pdf.rb
WickedPdf.config = {
# Path to the wkhtmltopdf executable: This usually isn't needed if using
# one of the wkhtmltopdf-binary family of gems.
# exe_path: '/usr/local/bin/wkhtmltopdf',
# or
# exe_path: Gem.bin_path('wkhtmltopdf-binary', 'wkhtmltopdf')
# Layout file to be used for all PDFs
# (but can be overridden in `render :pdf` calls)
# layout: 'pdf.html',
}
My controller:
#bookings_controller.rb
class BookingsController < ApplicationController
def show
@booking = Booking.find(params[:id])
respond_to do |format|
format.html
format.pdf do
render pdf: "test_wicked_pdf"
end
end
authorize @booking # For Pundit
end
The render HTML is working when i go to localhost:3000/bookings/135 ...
# bookings/show.html.erb
<h1>PDF test</h1>
...but not the PDF when I comment out "# format.html" in my controller
# bookings/show.pdf.erb
<h1>PDF test</h1>
Thanks a lot in advance
