Race condition in document generation.
See original GitHub issueI just started using the PDFKit. The following works after calling “doc.end()”:
// ... doc.end()
setTimeout(() => {
res.download(`www/${fileName}`);
}, 3000);
but this returns an empty file:
// ... doc.end()
res.download(`www/${fileName}`);
It appears that doc.end() is a synchronous function. Am I missing an async call, or is it a race condition on the disk?
If I try to read the file from disk immediately after calling doc.end()
using fs
, I get an empty file then also.
Thanks.
