Encountering missing temp folder error during PDF creation with Browsershot. Code sample:
$template = renderView('templateView');
PDFBuilder::createPdf($template)->setExecutable('/usr/local/bin/node')->savePdf('result.pdf');
How can this be resolved?
In my case, the error was caused by the temporary folder either being missing or lacking proper write permissions. I resolved it by explicitly setting a valid temporary directory in my environment configuration, ensuring that it exists and is accessible. Also verifying that my PHP and Node environments have proper permissions did the trick. If the error persists, double-check paths and environment variables to confirm that the settings match your system configuration.
I had a similar error during a recent project where determining the correct permission settings for the temp folder was key. I ended up monitoring the system logs and found that PHP was actually creating the temp file in a different directory than expected. I then adjusted my system configurations and even set the TMPDIR environment variable explicitly for NodeJS. It may be helpful to run some diagnostic scripts to check which directory is being used and ensure that it exists and is writable by the Laravel process.
hey folks, i solved it by manually creatin the tmp folder and adjustin perms so both php and node got access. check ur env vars to ensure correct paths and it should work fine.
