laravel-snappy: The exit status code '1' says something went wrong: stderr: "" stdout: "" command: ...

Dealing with the exact same problem

Never mind … I fixed it with the following config:

return array(
    'pdf' => array(
        'enabled' => true,
        'binary' => '"C:\Program Files\wkhtmltopdf\bin\wkhtmltopdf.exe"',
        'options' => array(),
    ),
    'image' => array(
        'enabled' => true,
        'binary' => '"C:\Program Files\wkhtmltopdf\bin\wkhtmltoimage.exe"',
        'options' => array(),
    ),
);

I also get this issue in windows 10. then I found this QA and fixed it by changing in executeCommand function vendor\knplabs\knp-snappy\src\Knp\Snappy\AbstractGenerator.php

$process->getExitCode()!=1?:0,

return [
            $process->getExitCode,
            $process->getOutput(),
            $process->getErrorOutput(),
        ];

to

return [
            $process->getExitCode()!=1?:0,
            $process->getOutput(),
            $process->getErrorOutput(),
        ];

I narrowed it down to being a problem with the Symfonys Process Class, used in the executeCommand method of the AbstractGenerator class.

$process = new \Symfony\Component\Process\Process($command, NULL, $this->env);

I solved the problem with a hack, replacing the executeCommand method in generate with directly executing the command:

public function generate($input, $output, array $options = array(), $overwrite = false)
    {
        if (null === $this->binary) {
            throw new \LogicException(
                'You must define a binary prior to conversion.'
            );
        }

        $this->prepareOutput($output, $overwrite);

        $command = $this->getCommand($input, $output, $options);

        /** Workaround for Windows Server 2008 + IIS7 */
        exec($command);
//         list($status, $stdout, $stderr) = $this->executeCommand($command);
//         $this->checkProcessStatus($status, $stdout, $stderr, $command);
        /** Workaround End */

        $this->checkOutput($output, $command);
    }

I wasn’t really satisfied with that solution, but it worked the last two months without any problems.

I also get this issue in windows 10. then I found this QA and fixed it by changing in executeCommand function vendor\knplabs\knp-snappy\src\Knp\Snappy\AbstractGenerator.php

$process->getExitCode()!=1?:0,

return [
            $process->getExitCode,
            $process->getOutput(),
            $process->getErrorOutput(),
        ];

to

return [
            $process->getExitCode()!=1?:0,
            $process->getOutput(),
            $process->getErrorOutput(),
        ];

Good Idea! But it doesn’t show image

Same problem, but i just want to show another way instead of removing @include blades. On config folder (snappy.php) instead use the first solution you can use this

return array( ‘pdf’ => array( ‘enabled’ => true, ‘binary’ => base_path(‘vendor\wemersonjanuario\wkhtmltopdf-windows\bin\64bit\wkhtmltopdf’), ‘timeout’ => false, ‘options’ => array(), ‘env’ => array(), ), ‘image’ => array( ‘enabled’ => true, ‘binary’ => base_path(‘vendor\wemersonjanuario\wkhtmltopdf-windows\bin\64bit\wkhtmltopdf’), ‘timeout’ => false, ‘options’ => array(), ‘env’ => array(), ) );

and it doesn’t require to install wkhtml on windows, just using vendor folder. It worked for me
