Integrate Jasper in Rails 3
- by AndreDurao
I'm trying to integrate a rails 3 app with jasper following this wiki:
http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/rails/pages/HowtoIntegrateJasperReports
But it seems that a lot of information isn't updated so it's been very hard to make it work by myself. I've also read a topic at ruby-forum: http://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/139453
with some details explained but still couldn't make it work.
My first problem is related with the render_to_string method:
When the controller method runs I receive a "Template is missing" error:
this is the method:
def report
@customers = Customer.all
send_doc(render_to_string(:template => report_customers_path, :layout => false), '/pdfs', 'report.jasper', "customers", 'pdf')
end
Although this seems simple I'm not understanding why is this happening. Doesn't render_to_string with layout = false suposed to get me the string result of that action?
I also tried :action instead of :template, but it does the same.
If anybody with some expertise with this integration could help...
Thanks in advance,
André
