Exception fired when generating from HTML

[joseym]

Based on the example in the readme, when I use generateFromHtml I get the following.

Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'RuntimeException' with message 'The file '/tmp/bill-123.pdf' was not created (command: /Users/jmorton/Sites/tests/wkpdf/wkhtmltopdf --lowquality "/var/folders/EH/EH1NBNSiGU0hy8p-WZ78Bo2kqHI/-Tmp-/knp_snappy4e7223ebe7a27.html" "/tmp/bill-123.pdf").' in /Users/jmorton/Sites/tests/wkpdf/Knp/Snappy/AbstractGenerator.php:260 Stack trace: #0 /Users/jmorton/Sites/tests/wkpdf/Knp/Snappy/AbstractGenerator.php(116): AbstractGenerator->checkOutput('/tmp/bill-123.p...', '/Users/jmorton/...') #1 /Users/jmorton/Sites/tests/wkpdf/Knp/Snappy/AbstractGenerator.php(126): AbstractGenerator->generate('/var/folders/EH...', '/tmp/bill-123.p...', Array, false) #2 /Users/jmorton/Sites/tests/wkpdf/index.php(14): AbstractGenerator->generateFromHtml('

Bill

If I try to have it send the pdf for download then the pdf is corrupted and wont open.

Tried for the first time today, was presented with the same error, found the problem was that wkhtmltopdf needs X to run, after abit of googling found this http://drupal.org/node/870058

This is indeed something related to wkhtmltopdf and not Snappy

You can
sudo apt-get install xvfb

and it works with this line in config.yml :
binary: xvfb-run -a -s "-screen 0 640x480x16" wkhtmltopdf
