Windows: Error: Error: Page crashed

[Ciantic]

Installation worked fine, but it does not seem to work.

I have isolated the problem to PDF creation:

  await page.pdf(options)

Is causing issue on my system somehow.

I cloned the book example and modified a file:

PS C:\Source\JavaScript\ReLaXed-toc-tests> relaxed book.pug

PS. I modified the error to show the first stack trace.

[Zulko]

Does it work for the original example ?

[Ciantic]

What is original example?

But I found out if I comment out this:

  var options = {
    path: outputPath,
    // displayHeaderFooter: headerTemplate || footerTemplate,
    headerTemplate,
    footerTemplate,
    printBackground: true
  }

It works again.

Not sure why displayHeaderFooter makes it crash.

[Ciantic]

oh sorry, yes, the example is original, I only add and remove a one letter in it to make it try the compilation.

[Zulko]

Thanks for the report. It turns out that in puppeteer >1.0.0 the PDF rendering crashes if the header or footer has some CSS which imports a font. Not sure why or if it is a more generic problem. The example is now fixed, but the footer font is now Helvetica instead of being a cool google font :(

Sounds like a promise / remote content related issue.
Google fonts can also be used / hosted offline, see
