Cell border is not printed when a cell has rowspan which breaks page.

[rong4188]

When a rowspan breaks through a page, the first several rows with rowspan cells in the second page has no border.

Interesting, do you have any minimal sample code to reproduce this with?

[simonbengtsson]

Is this the same as can be observed currently in the row and colspan example?

[rong4188]

@simonbengtsson yes I think so. When a rowspan cell breaks through page, the method doc.rect is called when rendering the cell. Then after a new page is added, it won't call doc.rect again to print cell border because it doesn't have any information about the cell which has already been rendered in the last page. it seems that some extra information and calculation would be needed when cell height > page remaining space.

Hello. Thanks for the great work with this plugin. Is there a solution yet for this issue? I've encountered this when there are columns breaking to a new page with a colspan of a large number. Thanks in advance.

[rong4188]

@Fr4gger I am just using the version I modified as above commits at the moment, but it doesn't seem to be merged so far. it is not a complicated fix so probably you can just go through the commits and modify your local code to see if it works for you.

@rong4188 Your pull requests are both closed

[Fr4gger]

@rong4188 Thanks for the suggestion. I am trying this right now. I'll let you know the results. One question though, do I need to compile the code again? If so, how can I do that? Currently I am pointing to jspdf.plugin.autotable.js, should I point to /src instead? Thanks in advance.

[rong4188]

@okon3 yep the PR is closed by bot. there is nothing I can do at the moment.

[rong4188]

@Fr4gger you can simply try to find the nearby code piece in jspdf.plugin.autotable.js then modify it as the PR, just to see if it works for you.

[Fr4gger]

@rong4188 thanks for your help. Unfortunately after changing the code with the lines you added the result is the same. It is not working for me. Do you know if there is any kind of solution planned to be released in order to fix this issue in the near future? This is the result I am getting with tables using rowspan:

As you see, in the second page the first row borders disappear. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

[rong4188]

@Fr4gger Hi, I just open another pull request includes the jspdf.plugin.autotable.js. can you just download it and give a shot?

[Fr4gger]

@rong4188 Thanks for opening the PR for me to test. Unfortunately I am getting the same error.

Thanks anyway. I hope the issue could be solved in the future.

[rong4188]

@Fr4gger hmm, do you have a working site that I can have a look at it? or a minimal example with your data?

[Fr4gger]

@rong4188 Unfortunately there is no instance available that isn't local yet for our project. But I created a little example in jsfiddle containing the data which I am using to build the table, and the html built table using the data. The js container only has a variable with the data and it is not used to build the table, but the result in the html container is the table which is breaking when trying to export to PDF.

Should be fixed in v3.1.3

[csarellano]

Hey @simonbengtsson just to let you know that this error shows up again in release v3.2.0. With the latest version v3.2.4 I am getting something like this in the second page.

In version v3.1.3 everything is ok besides that cell without background. The next image is the second page with the same data as the table above.

[simonbengtsson]

Interesting! Can you create a new issue with some sample code?
