Auto configuration failed

I’m trying to build a simple pdf using this code :

...
 pdf.create(html).toStream(function(err, stream){
            if (err) reject(err) ;
            else  stream.pipe(fs.createWriteStream(path.join(__dirname, '../../../assets/docs/')+data.link+'.pdf'));
          });
...

but I get this error message

Error: html-pdf: Received the exit code '1'

the running environment is os : Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS node : v8.10.0 html-pdf : latest

This was happening to me too on WSL. I managed to make it work with #531 .

I basically created an empty file in /tmp/openssl.cnf and then added an environment variable called OPENSSL_CONF pointing to that file.

export OPENSSL_CONF=/tmp/openssl.cnf and then I stopped & started my node server.

Obviously in a production environment you would have to properly configure openssl if you are using it.

I found the same solve. https://github.com/wernight/docker-phantomjs/blob/master/latest/Dockerfile#L32-L35 Thank’s @bvisonl
