Testing binary in development
abhishek77in opened this issue · 2 comments
wkhtmltopdf binary used on heroku outputs significantly different pdf on my development (mac) vs on production (heroku).
It would be really helpful to get some advice as how we can test the wkhtmltopdf functionality on local which is close to production.
My guess would be to run virtual box and setup ubuntu on it. But I would for some advise on this topic.
To test in development I have setup a vagrant box with ubuntu/trusty64 and it uses the binary that is used in production. This is quite close to my production and I am able to reproduce the issue with font size.
Hi @abhishek77in sorry for the super late response.
The binary provided in this gem only works for heroku 18/16 which is based on Ubuntu (18/16 LTS).
Heroku provides Docker images that you could use for testing / deployment.
This gem merely provides the wkhtmltopdf executable to your app environment, if you have any issues with wkthmltopdf itself please check out https://github.com/wkhtmltopdf/wkhtmltopdf/issues
