nft: `phantomjs-prebuilt` does not work

Attached is a zip for a project that uses phantomjs-prebuilt, and results in an error such as:

Error: spawn /var/task/node_modules/phantomjs-prebuilt/lib/phantom/bin/phantomjs ENOENT

Reproducible in now dev as well. When I take a look at the file path “node_modules/phantomjs-prebuilt/lib/phantom/bin/phantomjs” the file is indeed not there, so perhaps the detection mechanism isn’t including the binary into the output results.

Me too!! @JuanM04 any luck?? I’m trying to fix this with html-pdf.

It only happens in vercel server, it works perfect on the development server.

@eg-delacruz I didn’t fix it, decided to write a python api just for mailing pdfs.

I also still get the same issue here… @RobzLegz , did you manage to fix it?

I’m having the same problem using HTML-PDF two days trying to solve this and nothing

I am still unable to use phantomjs-prebuilt with Now.sh.

Here are the errors:

[31merror[39m: Could not spawn [/var/task/node_modules/phantomjs-prebuilt/lib/phantom/bin/phantomjs] executable. Please make sure phantomjs is installed correctly.
