Would be nice to have 0.12 released on rubygems.

[JacobEvelyn]

Seconded! We're using our own cloned version of this repo with git history erased to get around this in the meantime (using this repo directly in our Gemfile pushes us over Heroku's compiled slug size limit, because of all of the binaries in this repo's git history).

[richardwan]

release to ruby gems would be great. the current version on ruby gems has which binaries fails to detect stylesheets and images on any pages on an https site which no longer supports the broken ssl 3.0 protocol. wkhtmltopdf/wkhtmltopdf#1999

what this means is that when servers get patched (to protect themselves against the poodle attack) pdfs will lose all their stylesheets and images and devs will be wondering why the pdfs which worked fine one day just stopped working perhaps with no changes committed to the code base.

[diresquirrel]

Would be amazing to get this released via Rubygems. Had to write a bunch of code to tackle http vs https for pdf generation in response to updating our servers for the poodle vulnerability. Is there an ETA?

Hi All. Sorry we've been MIA. I haven't had a chance to look at what's going on. Is this just a matter of deploying new binaries? My last understanding was that some of the binaries weren't working on all OS'es? Has this been fixed, or are we moving on?

In full disclosure, I am not in a fantastic spot to be maintaining this gem (I haven't used it in ~5 years and am not up-to-date with what's going on in this space). If someone is willing and able to take over and carry on the project, it would make sense to transfer ownership of this project to someone more appropriate.

@zakird I'd be glad to help out. I'm already doing primary maintenance and support for https://github.com/mileszs/wicked_pdf

[zakird]

@unixmonkey that sounds great. can you shoot me an email zakir@umich.edu?

+1. Can I help?

[bigtunacan]

It's been almost a year since this was opened; is anyone looking into this?

[toncid]

If you are using Heroku, I'd suggest switching to this: https://github.com/rafaelp/heroku-buildpack-wkhtmltopdf

[rposborne]

Or https://github.com/rposborne/wkhtmltopdf-heroku, which really is just, wkhtmltopdf built for LTS ubuntu.

[bigtunacan]

@toncid @rposborne I'm on company VMs.

[rietta]

Just ran into this with an older project today. It was a real head scratcher, digging down to running wkhtmltopdf at the command line to disable the quiet flag and testing many images from HTTP and HTTPS sites to narrow down what was happening to cause it to fail silently.

Deploying from the master branch works; but it would be nice to see the updated build pushed to Rubygems.

[andyh]

I too have run into this same problem today with an older project. Can we get this pushed to rubygems?

[MichaelSp]

I'm just here to give my +1
Please, release asap.

[rposborne]

@bigtunacan no worries the heroku gem, is actually poorly named. It can run on any 14.04 ubuntu server. (we currently run it on our own bare metal)

[marnen]

This issue has been open for over a year. What is the holdup?

[DannyBen]

Why isn't this happening?
Both the repository and the owner seem to be active, but the gem is not released with the newer binaries.

I am using the alternative edge fork for now, but I am curious about the state of this gem and would prefer to use the canonical.

[unixmonkey]

0.12.3 has been released to rubygems.org! Please open another issue if you have any problems.

[roolo]

@unixmonkey Ty a lot
