It might be helpful to say the operating environment, version of ERPNext and version of wkhtmltopdf that was installed. Why did you install wkhtmltopdf? Was there a tutorial that you were following?

3

there was no tutorial , i just re installed it because i were have a problem in Download Table as a PDF so i try to reinstall it . i recognize i miss Arguments from this package related to the Frappe framework

4

I might try bench setup requirements , then bench update

5

Thank you , i will try it and told you

6

You should install the version of wkhtmltopdf with the QT patch.

7

hi @crafter thank you for helping . but the problem here the Frappe miss arguments from wkhtmltopdf not in it`s version or any thing else . so i want to know a way enable frappe to see wkhtmltopdf to avoid this error.

8

It says in the error message that it requires the version with the Qt patch.

9

okay thanks i `ll try it and told you

10

What does wkhtmltopdf -V return?

11

@AlinYellow this should return something like wkhtmltopdf 0.12.5 (with patched qt). Else you should uninstall this package and run bench install wkhtmltopdfwhich installs it for you.

Maybe try this :
wget https://github.com/wkhtmltopdf/wkhtmltopdf/releases/download/0.12.5/wkhtmltox_0.12.5-1.stretch_amd64.deb
&& dpkg -i wkhtmltox_0.12.5-1.stretch_amd64.deb && rm wkhtmltox_0.12.5-1.stretch_amd64.deb

Like in this script https://github.com/frappe/frappe_docker/blob/develop/build/bench/Dockerfile

PS : be sure to uninstall other versions with something like apt remove wkhtmltpodf

Sincerely yours,
Martin

The problem you posted in your screen grab is related to issues with ansible.

This had been posted about many, many times. Perhaps use the search to find a solution to the ansible issue.

please, for the future paste shell error messages as text, not screenshots. It’s just better to work with for anyone else (incl. the people who are going to help with a problem)
