Win32Exception: Permission denied on Azure about wkhtmltopdf.netcore-deprecated

[lookinsidethebox]

I had the same problem, but making wkhtmltopdf executable helped me. I wrote in console:
chmod +x /path_to_app/Rotative/Linux/wkhtmltopdf
Maybe it will help someone. @adriantheking are you really sure Azure Pipelines gives 755 chmod for wkhtmltopdf?

Hi!
Locally in your pc is running fine? what version of the library are you running?

[adriantheking]

Yes, locally everything works perfect, latest version from this repo

[adriantheking]

Hi @fpanaccia,
Any updates in this area ?

[jlfjunior]

@fpanaccia I have the same problem

[lndr-ssantos]

@fpanaccia Any news about this?

[adriantheking]

@lookinsidethebox Yes I double checked it. How you running your application ?

[lookinsidethebox]

@adriantheking I publish the application with MS Visual Studio in a local folder, manually copy files from the folder to my server (Alt Linux 8.2) and restart the application with supervisor.

Have you tried asking Azure Support? Maybe you need special permissions to run scripts on your server.

This error is expected on azure since azure doesn't let you execute .exe files on the app service.

There is no way to fix this unless you run your own app inside your own VPS or this library changes to use .dll directly (which lead in a total source code refactor) instead of executing the .exe.
