returned non-zero exit status 1

I think its possibly my mistake, this cannot be that wrong,

settings.py

WKHTMLTOPDF_CMD_OPTIONS = {
    'quiet': False,
    'disable-javascript': True
}
WKHTMLTOPDF_CMD = '/usr/bin/wkhtmltopdf'

Using:

class MyPDF(PDFTemplateView):
    filename = '/home/workspace/panda/test.pdf'
    template_name = 'pdf-text.html'
    cmd_options = {
        'margin-top': 3,
    }

I get:

**Command '['/usr/bin/wkhtmltopdf', u'--disable-javascript', '--encoding', u'utf8', u'--margin-top', u'3', u'--quiet', u'False', '/tmp/wkhtmltopdfWaFux9.html', '-']' returned non-zero exit status 1**

If I run this python code:

arg = ['/usr/bin/wkhtmltopdf','/tmp/wkhtmltopdfWaFux9.html','/home/workspace/test.pdf']
subprocess.check_output(arg)

I get the correct behaviour, since I got no permission or other errors doing check_output manually, is it possible that, this view calls wkhtmltopdf with wrong order?

Thanks

I had the same problem. Try to add this to your settings.py file:

WKHTMLTOPDF_CMD = 'xvfb-run -a wkhtmltopdf'

Could you put the code of your template? I solve my problem eliminating my style-sheets loaded from static

@eduardocasas answer solved the problem for me.

No such file or directory: 'xvfb-run'
