Tables not being displayed after update

[emartz404]

Hi, I've just updated from 1.10.0 to 2.5.0 and after adapting all listed breaking changes I've found that tables are completely gone from my ppt. I've tried using code from sample files, but still nothing :(

        let items = data,
            tableBlock = [],
            chunks = '',
            header = items.splice(0,1),
            toTable = [],
            baseTitle = title,
            iterations = 0;
        
            while(items.length > 0){
                if((iterations == 0) && items.length < 12){
                    title = baseTitle;
                }
                else{
                    title = baseTitle + ' - Part ' + (iterations + 1);   
                }
                toTable = items.splice(0,10);
                toTable.unshift(header[0]);
                let slide = new pptx.addNewSlide('COMPANY_PPT'),
                rows = []; 
                
            toTable.forEach(function(item, parentIndex){
                let row = [];
                item.forEach(function(elem, index){
                    let options = {};
                    if(index === 0 && parentIndex != 0){
                        options.color = '4ca3b5';
                        options.bold = true;
                        options.align = 'left';
                    }
                    if(parentIndex === 0){
                        options.bold = true;
                        options.fontSize = 10;
                    }
                    if(index != 0){
                        options.align = 'right';
                    } 
                    options.border = [{pt: 0, color: 'ffffff'},{pt: 0, color: 'ffffff'},{pt: 1, color: 'E3E3E1'}, {pt: 0, color: 'ffffff'}];
                    row.push({text: elem, options: options})
                });
                rows.push(row);
            });
            let options = {w: '60%', y: pptData.simpleLayout ? '21%' : '17%', x: pptData.simpleLayout ? '18%' : '35%', lineWeight: 5,  fontSize: 13, rowH: 0.5, valign: 'middle'};
            slide.addTable(rows, options);

The function gets executed - I'm able to pass any other sample code from the docs and it gets displayed: e.g: texts, images... - but anytime I try adding tables (sample or old working code), they won't display...

Is there any breaking change from v1 to v2 I'm missing? Thanks a lot!

Facing similar issue.

@somprabhsharma did you make it work?

Hi @emartz404

I dont know what the data in let items = data looks like, but tables definitely work in the most recent version using the sample code provided...

Online Demo

I've tried with the sample code and happens the same... Anyway, found that if I downgrade to v2.3.0 they work okay again

@gitbrent Found out it's a Keynote issue: if I open the demo file in google drive it's ok:

but in keynote:

[somprabhsharma]

@emartz404 Hey, I could make it work. To make it work in keynote too, you need to set the background color to white. Use below code to create slide.
pptx.addNewSlide('slide name', {bkgd: 'ffffff', color: '000000'})

[gitbrent]

@somprabhsharma is correct - the only issue with Keynote is the default background.

If you explicitly set one (e.g.: white) it'll appear as it does in PowerPoint.

This defect will be fixed in the upcoming 3.0 release.

Thanks a lot @somprabhsharma @gitbrent !

The issue of missing default [white] background in Keynote has been fixed in the 3.0 branch and will be released with 3.0.

Thanks @emartz404 @somprabhsharma
