Re: [GNC] Hard-Copy Report Output

[John Ralls]

/app is an alias for that long path when you're running inside the flatpak 
shell, see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Flatpak#Using_Command_Line_Tools. 
Unless you also run a browser in the same flatpak shell--installing the browser 
with flatpak won't work, that will create a different container--the browser 
can't see the alias. I don't know offhand if there's a way for GnuCash to tell 
that it's running inside a flatpak or to get the outside-the-flatpak path to 
/app, but even if it could the URI would get invalidated the next time you 
update the GnuCash flatpak.

John Ralls

Re: [GNC] Hard-Copy Report Output

[Vincent Dawans]

Thanks rsbrux for testing that. It's not working on Flatpak, you are right.
I just tested on flatpak and indeed the link in the html file is wrong. As
soon as I update the html with the full path on my install then it works.
I'll open a bug report on that if there isn't one yet.

Re: [GNC] Hard-Copy Report Output

[rsbrux via gnucash-user]

Thanks for  the tiüp, Vincent, but these things don't add up in the 
flatpak installation.


In the Help - About dialog, GNC_DATA is shown as "/app/share/gnucash", 
which is also the path used in the HTML file.


However, clicking on the link leads to 
"/var/lib/flatpak/app/org.gnucash.GnuCash/x86_64/stable/511cf18127561c55b5999121c6b301ca1e90d6cc988a00701257606df7fae86f/files/share/gnucash/" 
which does, in fact, contain a sudirectory "chartjs", which in turn 
contains both "Chart.bundle.min.js" and "Chart.bundle.js".


Evidently the HTML generation doesn't take the possibility of a flatpak 
installation into account.  I suppose I should file a bug for this, but 
I wouldn't know where.


Thnaks for your help!

If completely custom, you may want to try the -dev list.

This is a report I assembled from the options available in the GC
GUI (like the pie chart you successfully tested).
Unfortunately, I am not competent to use the programming
facilities behind GC's report generation.

I have tried opening the exported HTML reports in Firefox on
Ubuntu and in Edge and Firefox on Windows.  Although the browser
consoles show errors, I don't see any pertaining to "
Chart.bundle.min.js", nor do I find any critical errors pertinent
to the report content.
The new HTML reports are looking for Chart.bundle.min.js in
/app/share/gnucash/chartjs/, but no such directory exists on the
Ubuntu system where GnuCash is installed.  In fact, there isn't
even an /app/ directory.  Perhaps this is due to GC being
installed as a flatpak.
Chart.bundle.min.js does not seem to exist on either system, so I
edited the HTML as you suggested, replacing the local path with
"https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/Chart.js/4.3.0/chart.min.js;
but this did not improve matters.
However, my previously saved HTML reports from GC 2.xx also don't
display correctly, even though they contain no references to
Chart.bundle.min.js.  This suggests a more fundamental problem and
reveals my presumption that the HTML files could be used as
archives as naive.
I have a previously saved PDF file, which is, of course still
usable.  This will be my method going forward, although the lack
of a "scale to fit" option in the GC print dialog requires a bit
of trial and error to get a satisfactory PDF.

Many thanks to both of you for your support!

Re: [GNC] Hard-Copy Report Output

[Vincent Dawans]

Not that it might solve your underlying issue, but here is a reliable way
to locate Chart.bundle.min.js assuming it was installed correctly with the
rest of GC. This should work on any OS.

1. Open GC and go in menu Help - About
2. In that dialog window, look for the entry for GNC_DATA. It's the last
one in the list. It should point to a directory path, for instance on
Windows C:\Program Files (x86)\gnucash\share\gnucash but it will be
different on ubuntu, etc.
3. Navigate to that directory using whatever means your OS gives you to do
that (File Manager, console, etc). In that directory that GNC_DATA is
pointing to, you should find a subdirectory called chartjs. That is where
Chart.bundle.min.js should be located and if any html file is pointing to
it that ia what the path should be.

Re: [GNC] Hard-Copy Report Output

[John Ralls]

It's most likely a javascript problem. Open the javascript console in your 
browser and see if there's an error finding Chart.bundle.min.js. The correct 
location is /share/gnucash/chartjs/Chart.bundle.min.js where  
is where GnuCash is installed: /usr for a Linux package manager installation, 
/Applications/Gnucash.app/Contents/Resources for a macOS bundle, C:\Program 
Files (x86)\gnucash for Windows, etc.

You can fix the link by editing the html file in your favorite text editor.

John Ralls

Re: [GNC] Hard-Copy Report Output

[Adrien Monteleone]

Is this a completely custom report or just a saved configuration? If 
completely custom, you may want to try the -dev list.


I just did a test and exported an Expense Pie Chart to HTML and opened 
it in Firefox and it displayed as it should. If your chart/report isn't 
showing any graphics at all, then I'd say it is an issue with the report 
itself, not GnuCash. Since you were using it back in the days of version 
2.19, I'd hazard a guess that your report code needs to be updated as 
many changes with respect to reports have been made since then.


And while I could get the Expense Pie Chart to print in landscape, I 
couldn't get it to break properly or scale to the page, but I also 
didn't try too hard and that may still be possible.

Adrien

Without the graphics they are useless.
The Html export still included them as of GC 2.19.

Have you tried exporting the report as HTML, opening in a *browser*, and then 
printing from there? (I see you say it doesn't include 'graphics' 
but which graphics are you referring to? Most reports, rather than charts, 
don't contain any graphics save for perhaps table borders which render just 
fine for me in exported reports where used.)

Also consider select-all/copy/paste when viewing a report to a spreadsheet app 
and printing from it.

Either of those should work. (but I agree, printing from GnuCash should work 
too) Last I recall, the issue with GnuCash printing has to do with webkit. The 
details, I forget.

Adrien

In GnuCash 2.19 I was at least able to  export to HTML which gave me 
more control over the printing process, and even allowed me to edit the 
HTML if needed and had the added benefit of giving me a digital copy to 
archive.


However, in GC 4.14 under Ubuntu Studio 22.04 LTS, the exported HTML no 
longer includes the graphics, making many of the exported reports useless.


I have therefore again tried printing directly from GC, but the printout 
is always in portrait mode, resulting in truncation of the output.


I have tried setting landscape mode in both the GC "Page Setup" dialog 
and in the "Page Setup" dialog of the "Print Report" dialog, but both 
are ignored.


I have also tried "Any Printer", "Print to LPR" and "MFCJ5955DW" (my 
printer, connected via LAN) in the GC "Page Setup" dialog, to no effect.


I also treid "Print to file", but the resulting PDF is also portrait 
mode and truncated, even though I specifed landscape in both the GC 
"Page Setup" dialog and the "Page Setup" tab of the "Print Report" dialog.


How can I get a usable hard-copy report?
