I've a fully functioning nodejs code that on some user actions generates a pdf, emails the pdf to user and uploads the pdf to dropbox. It works perfectly on localhost but as i deploy my code to heroku, i get some errors. I found the error was apparently because of pdf generation. I've used html-pdf for generating pdf from my ejs template. The code is below:
if (req.body.text == "Approved"){
ejs.renderFile('./views/template.ejs', {user: user}, function(err, result) {
if (result) {
var filename = user.number+ ".pdf";
var path = './public/files/'+filename ;
var options = { filename: path, format: 'Legal', orientation: 'portrait', directory: './public/files/',type: "pdf" };
html = result;
pdf.create(html, options).toFile(function(err, res) {
if (err) return console.log(err);
console.log(res);
});
user.path = path;
user.save()
var dbx = new dropbox({ accessToken: mytoken });
fs.readFile( path,function (err, contents) {
if (err) {
console.log('Error: ', err);
}
dbx.filesUpload({ path: "/"+filename ,contents: contents })
.then(function (response) {
console.log("done")
console.log(response);
})
.catch(function (err) {
console.log(err);
});
});
var mailOptions = {
from: '"EMediCare"',
to: user.email, // list of receivers
subject: 'Confirmation: Quote received', // Subject line
attachments : [{
filename: filename,
path : path
}]
};
transporter.sendMail(mailOptions, (error, info) => {
if (error) {
return console.log(error);
}
console.log('Message %s sent: %s', info.messageId, info.response);
});
}
// render or error
else {
res.end('An error occurred');
console.log(err);
}
});
}
else {
user.path = null;
user.save();
}
My sample template.ejs is :
<html>
<head>
<title>my pdf </title>
</head>
<body>
<%= user.first_name%>
<span><%= user.last_name%></span>
</body>
When i checked my log on heroku it says it cannot open the file
