I created a simple app using knockout/bootstrap/gulp that downloads a pdf using pdfMake.js. It works fine in debug mode using VS2017. After publishing and using gulp it gives this error when run: File 'Roboto-Regular.ttf' not found in virtual file system
Note: After gulp, all JS files are in one script.js file.
I tried many things, it always works when debugging, as soon as I run gulp, it gives the error.
I tried joepal1976's solution from here (what I did with the dependencies in require.config.js)
Someone suggested .pipe(uglify({ compress: { hoist_funs: false } })) which doesn't appear to help.
Included in require.config like so:
var require = {
baseUrl: ".",
paths: {
"jquery": "js-libs/jquery.min",
"bootstrap": "js-libs/bootstrap.min",
"crossroads": "js-libs/crossroads.min",
"hasher": "js-libs/hasher.min",
"knockout": "js-libs/knockout",
"knockout-projections": "js-libs/knockout-projections.min",
"signals": "js-libs/signals.min",
"text": "js-libs/text",
"vfs_fonts": "js-libs/vfs_fonts",
"pdfMake": "js-libs/pdfmake.min"
},
shim: {
"bootstrap": { deps: ["jquery"] },
'pdfMake':
{
exports: 'vfs_fonts'
},
'vfs_fonts':
{
deps: ['pdfMake'],
exports: 'vfs_fonts'
}
}
};
JS for the page:
define(["knockout", "text!./home.html"], function (ko, homeTemplate) {
function HomeViewModel(route) {
var thisVM = this;
this.VMInit = function () {
var thePDF = {
content: [
'My test invoice.',
]
};
pdfMake.createPdf(thePDF).download('pdf_test.pdf');
}
thisVM.VMInit();
}
return { viewModel: HomeViewModel, template: homeTemplate };
});
The Gulp file:
//-----------------------------------------------------------------------
// Node modules
var fs = require('fs'),
vm = require('vm'),
merge = require('deeply'),
chalk = require('chalk'),
es = require('event-stream');
//-----------------------------------------------------------------------
// Gulp and plugins
var gulp = require('gulp'),
rjs = require('gulp-requirejs-bundler'),
concat = require('gulp-concat'),
clean = require('gulp-clean'),

uglify = require('gulp-uglify'),
htmlreplace = require('gulp-html-replace');
// Config
var requireJsRuntimeConfig =
vm.runInNewContext(fs.readFileSync('src/app/require.config.js') + '; require;');
requireJsOptimizerConfig = merge(requireJsRuntimeConfig, {
out: 'scripts.js',
baseUrl: './src',
name: 'app/startup',
paths: {
requireLib: 'js-libs/require'
},
include: [
'requireLib',
'components/nav-bar/nav-bar',
'components/home-page/home',
'text!components/about-page/about.html'
],
insertRequire: ['app/startup'],
bundles: {

}
});
//-----------------------------------------------------------------------
// Discovers all AMD dependencies, concatenates together all required .js
files, minifies them
gulp.task('js', function () {
return rjs(requireJsOptimizerConfig)
.pipe(replace('Views/src/', ''))
.pipe(replace('img/', 'Assets/img/'))
.pipe(replace('css/', 'Assets/css/'))
.pipe(uglify({
preserveComments: 'some'
}))
.pipe(gulp.dest('./dist-app/Assets/js/'));
});
gulp.task('css', function () {
return gulp.src(['./src/css/bootstrap.css',
'./src/css/bootstrap-switch.css',
'./src/css/dataTables.bootstrap.css',
'./src/css/dataTables.colVis.css',
'./src/css/dataTables.responsive.css',
'./src/css/daterangePicker.css'])
.pipe(concat('styles.css'))
.pipe(gulp.dest('./dist-app/Assets/css/'));
});
// Copies index.html, replacing <script> and <link> tags to reference production
URLs
gulp.task('html', function () {
return gulp.src('./src/index.html')
.pipe(htmlreplace({
dependencies_top: '<link href="Assets/css/styles.css"
rel="stylesheet">',
dependencies_bottom: '<script src="Assets/js/scripts.js"></script>'
}))
.pipe(gulp.dest('./dist-app/'));
});
// Removes all files from ./dist/
gulp.task('clean', function () {
console.log("the clean task");
return gulp.src('./dist-app/**/*', { read: false })
.pipe(clean());
});
// All tasks in [] must complete before 'default' can begin
gulp.task('default', ['html', 'js', 'css'], function (callback) {
callback();
console.log('\nPlaced optimized files in ' + chalk.magenta('dist-app/\n'));
});
The Startup.js file if its helpful:
define(['jquery',
'knockout',
'./router',
'bootstrap',
'knockout-projections',
'pdfMake',
'vfs_fonts'], function ($, ko, router) {
// Components can be packaged as AMD modules, such as the following:
ko.components.register('nav-bar', { require: 'components/nav-bar/nav-bar' });
ko.components.register('home-page', { require: 'components/home-page/home'
});
// ... or for template-only components, you can just point to a .html file
directly:
ko.components.register('about-page', {
template: { require: 'text!components/about-page/about.html' }
});
ko.components.register('new-page', { require: 'components/new-page/new-page'
});
// [Scaffolded component registrations will be inserted here. To retain this
//feature, don't remove this comment.]
// Start the application
ko.applyBindings({ route: router.currentRoute });
});
Following code worked for me:
import pdfMake from "pdfmake/build/pdfmake";
import pdfFonts from "pdfmake/build/vfs_fonts";
pdfMake.vfs = pdfFonts.pdfMake.vfs;
