Downloading invoice without PhantomJS returns a .pdf file with HTML contents about cashier-stripe

[RyanHavoc]

I don't believe you have to include PhantomJS though. It's already included and loaded in Cashier. It's located in here:

vendors/laravel/cashier/src/Laravel/Cashier/bin

Are you saying you got it working by including your own?

I didn't even notice that it was included – thanks for pointing me to it @RyanHavoc.

I haven't tried including it on my own as I just used $user->findInvoiceOrFail($id)->render([]); which returns an HTML invoice to the browser where the user is free to view & print it so I'm not really worried about PDFs anymore.

[RyanHavoc]

Ah, thanks for that. I would have preferred PDF but serving up the HTML invoice instead will be fine.

Hmm, I'm not sure. I am getting PDF invoices fine. Which operating system?

[nfeiglin]

I'm running it on Homestead so Ubuntu 14.

I'm working locally at the minute MAMP on Mac OSX.

I'm experiencing issue with PDFs as well. They won't open on Mac OSX. Laravel is hosted on a ubuntu VM.

If I don't want PDF invoices can I directly delete the bin folder?

For what it's worth, I just encountered the same problem. Turned out that it was just the permissions of phantomjs (no execution permissions, so it was failing).

As for running on OSX with MAMP, ran into a different problem but didn't spent too much time investigating. This might help though: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/19008960/phantomjs-on-mac-os-x-works-from-the-command-line-not-via-exec

I had the same issue on Mac OSX with Homestead VM.
I change phantamjs permissions it is working now.

cd <project>/vendor/laravel/cashier/src/Laravel/Cashier/bin/linux-x86_64
chmod a+x phantomjs

thanks manavo
