Print Designer NOT WORKING

Hello to all. I have been having an issue with the print designer. It seems like it just does not want to work. I want to test it out on a local instance before I decide to add it to my Frappe Cloud account. Is there a solution besides using it on the Frappe Cloud?

You could create a custom docker setup or dev setup for testing… both of them having a big overhead (Time to setup). Why do you prefere a test setup over Frappe Cloud? And which issue are you facing?

The issue is that the application seems very buggy on local instances, but it seems perfect on cloud instances. This is annoying because it feels like they are forcing users to use their cloud instances because the application will only work there.

Frappe is a complicated piece of software, and configuring your server correctly requires both time and knowledge. If you want help with that, you’re going to need to provide more information than just “it just does not want to work”.

You might also reconsider your approach here. You’re making some pretty ridiculous accusations, and it’s hard to imagine why anyone would want to volunteer their time to help you when that’s the starting point.

Understood, just being unable to do something simple gets annoying after a while.
Here is the issue: I install Print Designer onto my local instance, and when I try to interact with the application itself. It is frozen, none of the buttons work, and there is nothing I can do, cause scraping through the code will take days.
I do apologize for my aggressive tone. Have you managed to get the application to work on your local instance?

Yes, it works fine for me on both my production server and my local development instance.

What have you done to troubleshoot? You shouldn’t need to scrape through any code to figure out why buttons aren’t responding. Have you, for example, looked in the javascript console on your browser to see if any errors are getting thrown?
