install failed on Heroku.

I added the gem to my gemfile and pushed to Heroku:

remote:        You have added to the Gemfile:
remote:        * wkhtmltopdf-heroku
remote:  !
remote:  !     Failed to install gems via Bundler.

hmm that's odd.
can you try to install it in your local environment?

I moved it out of the poduction group on my gemlist and that seemed to let it install. However the pdf generation still is not working. I get the error:

Bad wkhtmltopdf's path: /usr/local/bin/wkhtmltopdf

This is a project i have inherited at work and am moving over to Heroku so I'm not completely sure the whole configuration. Any ideas?

My gemfile consists of:

gem 'wkhtmltopdf-binary'
gem 'wicked_pdf'
gem 'wkhtmltopdf-heroku'

Does this seem correct?

[pallymore]

it's probably conflicting with wkhtmltopdf-binary
I know both gems are setting a binary path for wicked_pdf.

could you try to remove the binary gem? Also this gem only works with cedar-14 stack (Ubuntu 14.04 LTS) you will need to use the same OS in your development environment in order to use this gem.

I removed the binary gem and I am still getting the same error. I am on the cedar-14 stack.

Weirdly the pdf generation still works in my development environment (Mac OS) without the binary gem

[Deekor]

I found a config file in the project:

WickedPdf.config = {
  #:wkhtmltopdf => '/usr/local/bin/wkhtmltopdf',
  #:layout => "pdf.html",
  :exe_path => '/usr/local/bin/wkhtmltopdf'
}

Im assuming this is the problem. Do I need any config file for this gem to work?

[pallymore]

you probably have the binary installed in the system.

yea, could you comment out that exe_path configuration...the heroku gem will set that for you.

[Deekor]

Yup that fixed it. Thanks for your help!
