Failure: unlink(/vagrant/app/storage/3241252d6b169d30e6.html): No such file or directory about l4pdf HOT 5 CLOSED

I just published an update for the pdf generator. Can you run composer update and see whether the issue is resolved or not?

from l4pdf.

I have run composer update.Using download('laravel.pdf') as I was before no longer produces an error but it is also no longer producing a file in the app/storage directory and when I navigate to the url in my browser produces a white page with no pdf being downloaded.

If I run PDF::loadUrl('http://www.laravel.com')->save('/vagrant/app/storage/laravel.pdf'); then everything is working correctly, with the pdf being created and saved in the storage directory.

Thanks for the quick response :)

app/storage folder is used for saving temporary files so you generally don't see any file related to l4pdf because they are deleted after the pdf is generated.

I have no idea why download() is not working. Are you sure you are returning the download() as a response ?

Route::get('/', function()
{
    return PDF::loadUrl('http://www.laravel.com')->download('test.pdf');
});

Aha... I was trying to get stream working and it wasn't until I realised I wasn't returning the result. Using:

return PDF::loadUrl('http://www.laravel.com')->serve('laravel.pdf');

was working as expected so I tried using download whilst returning the result and it is also working.

Having reviewed the examples on the main repo page I see I should have been doing this from the very start, I think what threw me was that the first example doesn't use return though I guess this should have been obvious.

Oh well, glad I got it solved and thank you for the rapid response and just in general for this excellent package, looking forward to using it in production.

Great! Enjoy!
