problem implementing wicked pdf on heroku


I am using this guide for integrating wicked_pdf on heroku. But somehow it doesn't seem to work. I got the logs from heroku and its says this:

Please Help. Thanks in Advance.

EDIT:

I made some changes in my code and got through this error but still stuck here

NoMethodError (undefined method empty? for #<Pathname:0x2b7112392480>)


Solution

  • After looking at your Edit part which says "undefined method empty? for #<Pathname:0x2b...>

    This means you are somewhere using empty? function on a path Object whereas empty? is a function of a string and not path.

    try to find out where you have used a path Object and use to_s on that object.

    Try it out.
