PDF's not generating in v5

[Codebreaker101]

I've setup invoice ninja v5 in a VM using Method 1 and 2 of this guide.

When generating invoice PDF I get a 404 error.
When previewing invoice design I get an file with no styles and I'm not able to load any design.

Additionally there are no logs that I can find that show any errors or warnings. (storage/logs/laravel.log, /var/log/nginx/error.log). During setup, test pdf was generated successfully.

php: 7.3.19-1~deb10u1
node: v12.18.3
npm: 6.14.6
composer: 1.10.10

Hello,

Thanks for reporting this to us. However, before we mark this as an issue, let's make sure your environment is configured properly.

There are two things you should check:

.env file contains the correct link to your website.
You can find .env file in the root folder of your Invoice Ninja. Open it and check for APP_URL property. Make sure it contains the right URL.

Run: php artisan optimize in case you changed it to reflect it through the system.

Storage directory might not be linked:

Run: `php artisan storage:link' and try again.

Let us know the outcome.

Thanks!

Reinstalled everything today with the latest commit c9be746 and the PDF generation seems to work. But now there is a new issue. Changing localization causes blank page.

It seems to work but it does not work correctly.

Here is what it looks like in the Invoice Design preview.
Here is what it looks like when creating an actual invoice.

You said:

Can you let us know was it method 1 or 2?

[Codebreaker101]

It was method 2

This is expected behaviour then. When you pull from git, it uses latest code which might not be stable fully.

We suggest going with release (method 1).
