[Bug 39208] New: printoverdues.sh requires unavailable cli tool
https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=39208 Bug ID: 39208 Summary: printoverdues.sh requires unavailable cli tool Change sponsored?: --- Product: Koha Version: unspecified Hardware: All OS: Linux Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P5 - low Component: Command-line Utilities Assignee: koha-bugs@lists.koha-community.org Reporter: alexander.wagner@desy.de QA Contact: testopia@bugs.koha-community.org CC: robin@catalyst.net.nz `printoverdues.sh` relies on `xhtml2pdf` for the conversion of a HTML document to a printable PDF version of said document. At time of writing, this tool dropped out of Debian (bookworm) and Ubuntu stable and sometimes older releases including backports and the like. Debian oldstable still keeps it, but no upstream releases beyond. This may endanger the functionality in Koha upstream. Possible solutions: - Manual installation outside the package management (and bugfixing) of the distribution via `pip`. That would also require a suitable documentation. - Use an alternative tool chain within the distributions (e.g. pandoc, if heading for a swiss army knife of format transformations. For PDF pandoc would require latex as "helper"). Note that `printoverdues.sh` is referred to explicitly in the implementation checklist. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes. You are the assignee for the bug.

From the /kohadevbox/koha directory: - create a new subdirectory: mkdir tmp - echo '<!DOCTYPE html><html><head><meta charset="UTF-8"></head><body><p>Тетрис — это классика!</p></body></html>' > tmp/tmp.html - echo '* { color: red };' > tmp/tmp.css ==> Result: a folder tmp with two files (tmp.css and tmp.html) 2. Run this command to generate the PDF: ./misc/cronjobs/printoverdues.sh tmp tmp/tmp.css ==> Result (because there is no xhtml2pdf): ./misc/cronjobs/printoverdues.sh: line 42: xhtml2pdf: command not found tar: tmp/*.pdf: Cannot stat: No such file or directory tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors 3. Apply the patch 4. Restart everything: restart_all 5. Repeat the command in step 2 ==> Result: a PDF in the tmp directory with the text in red -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
