problems with docx

[sonnenschein123]

Hello,
if I try to render a docx document with UNOCONV it always throw the message mfr.core.exceptions.SubprocessError: 400, Unable to export the file in the requested format, please try again later..
I solved this problem be adding the file extension to the source_file_id:
self.source_file_path = await self.local_cache_provider.validate_path(
'/export/{}'.format(self.source_file_id) + self.metadata.ext
)

Has anyone else this problem, what do you do on osf.io to render docx files?

Best sonnenschein123

Hey @sonnenschein123,

Apologies for the delay. The develop branch of MFR just had some code merged to help render docx files in development environments. You'll need to be running the OSF using docker-compose per these instructions and also bring up the unoconv container defined there (docker-compose up -d unoconv). After that, .docx files should start to render in local MFR.

I have this running locally, so I'm marking this as closed. If it doesn't work for you, please feel free to reopen!

Cheers,
