OpenERP[trunk/7.0]- Webkit Report Engine executable Path field missing

[Marco]

OpenERP version 7.0-20130202-000101
OS: Windows 2012
Browser: Firefox

Installing the "Webkit Report Engine" module works, but the "wkthtmltopdf" executable file path under Settings -> Companies -> MyCompany is missing in the web client. (please have a look at the attached picture "MissingPath.png" and the installation log file "1_Install-Webkit-openerp-server.log".

Removing the "Webkit Report Engine" because of the missing path -> 2_Uninstall-Webkit-openerp-server.log

doing

"C:\OpenERP\Server\server\openerp-server.exe" -d test33 -u all

produces this errors in the logfile:

--> Description says you have to configure executable Path in Company this is an error

Path "http://files.me.com/nbessi/06n92k.mov" in the module description is not available any more.

Any news on this issue?

[Yannick Vaucher @ Camptocamp (yvaucher-c2c)]

Since 6.1 the executable path is a system parameter and is not in company anymore.

The description should be the following in __openerp__.py

After installing the library on the OpenERP Server machine, you need to set
the path to the ``wkthtmltopdf`` executable file in a system parameter named ``webkit_path``
in Settings -> Customization -> Low Level Object -> System Parameters

There is a still pending merge proposal to solve this misleading information there

I'll create another for 7.0

I confirm this bug because description is misleading

BTW, Marco, thanks for the detailed bug report, I hope my comment helped you.

Hi Yannick

Thank you for your support. I'm glad to hear that you are working on a solution. Maybe you will provide an updated module for OpenERP 7.0?

Hello Marco,

Thanks for reporting,

I agree with you that report_webkit module need to improve the description that where to "wkhtmltopdf" path. So, I am confirming this issue.
