Cannot read property 'uint8array' of undefined in docxgen.js

[contactmatts]

When attempting to call loadFromeFile on an instance of the docxgen function, I'm getting the following error:

Error: Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'uint8array' of undefined in https://localhost/scripts/lib/docxgen.js at line 17139

My code is structured like so (note that I've used browserify to create a standalone file where docxgen is the global variable, as suggested in this issue #101 ):

        new docxgen().loadFromFile("tagLooping.docx",{async:true}).success(
        function(doc){
            doc.setTags({
                "first_name": "Hipp",
                "last_name": "Edgar",
                "phone": "0652455478",
                "description": "New Website"
            })
            //set the templateVariables
            doc.applyTags()
            //apply them (replace all occurences of {first_name} by Hipp, ...)
            doc.output()
            //Output the document using Data-URI
        });
    };

The error is occurring in the exports.transformTo method at this line:
var result = transform[inputType]outputType;

In the exports.transformTo method, the outputType parameter is "uint8array", and the input parameter is true. When the exports.getTypeOf(input) method is ran, the value true is not a valid input, so undefined is returned. Thus, transform[undefined]... throws an error.

I've posted a minified version of my compiled code at http://pastebin.com/DUvJ3rM8 (it had to minified, since pastebin has a size limit for non-members)

Let me know if any more information is needed to resolve this issue I'm having.

Thank You,

Can you please post your whole stacktrace ? That would help.

It seems strange to me because the demos use exactly the same code, the only difference seems to be the browserify command. http://javascript-ninja.fr/docxgenjs/examples/demo.html

[edi9999]

If you don't specifically need the qrcode functionality, I also suggest you to switch to version 1.0. Loading a docx is better written than:

See the new demos : http://javascript-ninja.fr/docxtemplater/v1/examples/demo.html

the new docs : http://docxtemplater.readthedocs.org/en/1.x/goals.html

This is the stack trace of the error:

Once I get this working, my goal is to replace/insert an image of the user's signature (captured through other means) into the document. Does that require the qrcode functionality? In v.1 documents (https://github.com/edi9999/docxtemplater/tree/1.x), I clicked on the Replacing Images link, but it didn't take me the the replacing image section.

[edi9999]

Yep you can't replace images in 1.x for now, that will come later when the module system comes out.

I'm looking into your error

[edi9999]

I have been able to replicate the issue when they is no file.

Is they a file named tagLooping.docx in your folder (it should be in the same folder as the html, not the js) ?

If yes, can you check your xhr requests ? (You can see them in the debug tools of chrome or firefox, under the network tab)

[contactmatts]

The issue was the .docx file was not in the same folder as the HTML page. It may be good to throw a more specific exception if the file cannot be found.

Thank you for your help and your quick response.

[edi9999]

I have just added an error on that particular case so that the next users won't hang on that particular issue
