Error: write EPIPE

[royalwood]

var rendered = "Test";
wkhtmltopdf(rendered, {
output: 'rendered.pdf',
pageSize: 'A4'
});
then raise error like as below:

Error: write EPIPE
at exports._errnoException (util.js:1020:11)
at WriteWrap.afterWrite (net.js:800:14)

I have the same issue, tried several node versions now running node 8.9.1 with this error:Error: "write EPIPE
at _errnoException (util.js:1024:11)
at WriteWrap.afterWrite [as oncomplete] (net.js:867:14)"
Code worked a year ago but either mac os or node is causing the wkhtmltopdf to fail, please help :) . Rick

Solved: The error is caused when you have not installed the command line version of wkhtmltopdf since this is just a wrapper. Simple error showed up when I turned on debug. Hope this is your issue above as well.

I got this when mishandling the resulting stream, even with wkhtmltopdf installed. It worked to save and send a file instead.

@NodeUrsa If that's your complete snippet, you may just need to send the PDF file you've created. You could also first verify it is in present on disk. You can try something like const path = require('path') and res.sendFile(path.resolve('rendered.pdf'))

i had the same problem. fixed it with @ricksturgeon's advice, downloading the command line version from https://wkhtmltopdf.org/downloads.html#stable.

You will get this error also if you are using wkhtmltopdf v0.13 alpha with this JavaScript wrapper.

Still facing this on Mac. Command Line version is downloaded. - wkhtmltopdf 0.12.6 (with patched qt)

Any ideas on how to resolve this?
