Editing/previewing and debugging Order PDFs

[mark-chief]

Description

I'm having a very frustrating time edit/debugging Order PDFs (Using Snapshot +. Stripe Payments).

A few things:

1. Stripe Payments Order PDF Template Field in the settings doesn't work if you add the .twig extension
2. Override file - this option doesn't appear to work, or there seems to be some sort of cache in place because when i make a change to the order pdf template and check, the order template rendered doesn't reflect the changes I have made, only after a period of time.
3. If I delete a PDF from my assets folder, It will regenerate it as expected, but it will use and old cached version which doesn't exist, even If i completely empty the pdf template and make it blank, it will somehow regenerate it from a old version - i have tried clearing craft data cache too.
4. I'm unable to render fields from my Globals in the templates e.g. {{ global.customField }}
5. This error appears in my logs each time a PDF is viewed. even if the pdf template is a blank file, it will log this error.

If you're able to help with the above, or let me know what I am doing wrong that would be great - as I am literally spending hours trying to work around this :)

Thanks!

Hi @mark-chief

• I am looking into your first two issues
• about the cache issue, could you please try to pass a dynamic name for example that includes the time with milliseconds? what is the current value of Stripe Payments Order Filename Format on your settings?
