"PDF creation timeout. PDF generation script did not end."

[mpkorstanje]

On Windows 7:

When trying to convert the welcome.md that comes with Atom to .pdf I get a: "PDF creation timeout. PDF generation script did not end." in the console and no pdf.

Error: PDF creation timeout. PDF generation script did not end.message: "PDF creation timeout. PDF generation script did not end."stack: (...)get stack: function () { [native code] }set stack: function () { [native code] }__proto__: d c:\Users\nlriekos\.atom\packages\markdown-pdf\lib\markdown-pdf.js:78

Hmm, I am unable to recreate this error on my machine (OS X). When I get hold of a windows box I will try it out and see. Does anyone else get this error?

[mpkorstanje]

I don't get on Ubuntu either.

Anything I can do to help debug?

Maybe try, on the command line, converting some markdown to html with marked, and then that html to pdf with html-pdf. If the error persists then there may be a problem with one of our dependencies.

The problem is indeed in html-pdf. Lets see how deep the Rabit hole goes.

As it stands now html-pdf can't support Windows.

Yes, there's a problem on windows with html-pdf where phantomjs doesn't accept a system.stdin argument. That's why it results in a timeout.
I'll have to elaborate that. Phantoms system.stdin.read() should also work on windows. So I currently don't know what's the problem.
Sorry for that

[mpkorstanje]

Html-pdf has been fixed. Markdown-pdf generates pdf files now.

Thanks for updating this issue.

Thanks for the hard work guys. Just pushed a new version so this should be incorporated now.
