Export to anything other than HTML does not work

[thatAkiraFox]

Hi, I've noticed that the Right click menu > Export to File > PDF does not work: the message Markdown Export: Initializing... never goes away and no PDF file is generated.

Only HTML export and copy works, everything else doesn't.

I'm using code 1.71.0-2 on Arch Linux with extension version 1.1.1.

Let me know if I can provide further informations, thanks in advance!

I'm having the same problem on Arch Linux.

My solution; Upgrade puppeteer version from ^1.20.0 to ^17.1.2 in package.json file. Then download the dependencies with npm install.

This worked, thanks a lot!

You're welcome 😊️

@05akalan57 Mind to share some insight on which package.json has to be edited for the average joe? I found several package.json files inside the extensions directory and am not sure which one I need to edit. My bet is on this section

"dependencies": {
        "clipboardy": "^1.2.3",
        "highlight.js": "^11.3.1",
        "js-yaml": "^3.13.1",
        "markdown-it-abbr": "^1.0.4",
        "markdown-it-attrs": "^3.0.1",
        "markdown-it-checkbox": "^1.1.0",
        "markdown-it-container": "^2.0.0",
        "markdown-it-deflist": "^2.0.3",
        "markdown-it-emoji": "^1.4.0",
        "markdown-it-footnote": "^3.0.1",
        "markdown-it-html5-embed": "^1.0.0",
        "markdown-it-kbd": "^2.0.0",
        "markdown-it-mark": "^2.0.0",
        "markdown-it-multimd-table": "^3.2.0",
        "markdown-it-sub": "^1.0.0",
        "markdown-it-sup": "^1.0.0",
        "markdown-it-table-of-contents": "^0.4.4",
        "markdown-it-underline": "^1.0.1",
        "papaparse": "^5.3.0",
        "puppeteer": "^1.20.0"
},

In \extensions\jebbs.markdown-extended-1.1.1\package.json.

Thanks!

sorry for the delay. Yes you found the correct package.json file. After increasing the puppeter version number, don't forget to download the dependencies with npm install.

Unfortunately I couldn't find a solution for this problem. 😔️

My own solution is not using images in your markdown file 😅️

[qjebbs]

v1.1.2 should fix this

[Morikko]

In 1.1.2, Markdown Export: Initializing... is not pending any more and I successfully exported a markdown with images to PDF. Thank you a lot.

I decided to do a clean install of the extension before updating, meaning that I uninstalled the extension withing VSCode, then closed it and:

rm -rf .vscode-oss/extensions/jebbs.markdown-extended-1.1.*

Then I re-opened VSCode and reinstalled the extension, but there's another issue now: when I try to generate a PDF file the extension asks to download Chromium and accepting the change yelds this error:

Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'chromium_revision')
