Phantom js problem on Mac OS about vscode-markdown-pdf HOT 12 CLOSED

Problem is that the string (quoted above) has Windows-style backslashes as directory separators, and the package includes a Windows executable (phantomjs.exe). This causes things not to work on anything but Windows. (I first found this problem on Ubuntu.)

ERROR: phantomjs binary does not exist: /Users/Hahaha/.vscode/extensions/yzane.markdown-pdf-0.1.7/node_modules/phantomjs-prebuilt/lib/phantom\bin\phantomjs.exe

It should be possible to rebuild on your system from source and workaround this, but the instructions for doing this are insufficient; or perhaps I don't have all the right versions of all the node.js things around on my system. In any case, I think that shipping the .exe form causes this package to be Windows-only, at least for now.

Very useful package, by the way, thank you @yzane !

I just wanted to add that, as expected, on Linux (Linux Mint 18.2 Sonya) I have the same problem.

I pre-released Markdown PDF ver1.0.0 which replaced pdf converter with puppeteer instead of html-pdf.
Please download from here and try.

To help the developer and focus the issue on the Windows path, I've made this into a very specific issue here: #52

Then I found that uninstalling (and quitting VSCode in my case, which may or may not be necessary) then reinstalling the extension and reloading the window worked.

if you want to install Phantomjs,follow steps

1. install node environment

use nvm or use node offical

2. use npm install Phantomjs npm install phantomjs -g

ver 1.0 works well on macOS High Sierra. Thank you @yzane !

from vscode-markdown-pdf.

Markdown PDF ver1.0.0 replaced PDF converter with puppeteer instead of node-html-pdf.
Therefore PhantomJS is no longer used.
