Export to PDF weird behavior/errors

Open
Jon asked on May 31, 2019

Hi guys,
I'm not sure when this happened exactly, but the Flexmonster Export to PDF functionality seems to be erroring out specifically in Internet Explorer 11 based on an uncaught Promise somewhere. I just tried to verify it on the Demo site (https://www.flexmonster.com/demos/js/connect-ssas/) and, in IE11, it stays in a loop (error messages in attached file). Do you guys know of a workaround for the time being?
Thanks!
Jon

Working on it a bit further, the problem seems to stem from html2canvas. I solved this by manually editting the node module library using this workaround:

I imagine a fix for this has to come from html2canvas first but I'll ask anyway: any idea on a timeline for a fix to the Angular ng-flexmonster html2canvas library?
Thanks again!
Jon
