Small problems at using

[ralfdreibrodt]

I had three problems during installation and creating my first invoice:
a) "Full-Fledged Example" from README:

$ curl -v -X POST
http://localhost:3000/api/invoice/transform-and-create/UBL
-F lang=de
-F mapping=@contrib/mappings/default-invoice.yaml \

In line three the backslash is missing

b) https://www.guido-flohr.net/creating-electronic-invoices-with-free-and-open-source-software/
This will create a directory dist that you can copy wherever you like.
Whenever I move the dist directory, I get an error:

node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:1137
throw err;
^

Error: Cannot find module '@esgettext/runtime'

Node.js v18.19.0

Without moving dist it is working, until:
c) changing the format to Factur-X-XRechnung
The software is crashing:

/var/www/e-invoice-eu-main/dist/src/format/format-factur-x.service.js:239
const hash = await crypto.subtle.digest('SHA-512', encoder.encode(data));
^

at async InvoiceController.create (/var/www/e-invoice-eu-main/dist/src/invoice/invoice.controller.js:52:30)

Node.js v18.19.0

After googling the error message, I added before the above line 239 this:
const crypto = require('crypto');
Now the software is not crashing anymore and the validator says everthing is correct, but I have no idea, whether that's true.

[gflohr]

About the validation, please read this documentation: https://github.com/gflohr/e-invoice-eu/blob/main/contrib/validators/README.md You should definitely validate your invoices before sending them. It is very unlikely that they are correct from the beginning.

I will take care of the other two problems next week. I am currently travelling.

[gflohr]

Until I fix the other two issues, you may consider to use the containerized version on dockerhub.

Fixed.

b) https://www.guido-flohr.net/creating-electronic-invoices-with-free-and-open-source-software/ This will create a directory dist that you can copy wherever you like. Whenever I move the dist directory, I get an error:

Sorry, my bad, you can not move the directory.

[gflohr]

I cannot reproduce the reference error for crypto but I have tried to fix it. Can you update to the latest commit and try again?

[ralfdreibrodt]

Thank you for your changes. The documentation is now correct.

It still does not work, but the error message changed. Btw this is a Debian 12.

[gflohr]

I could reproduce the issue with node 18. It should now work with node 18, 20, and 22.

Can you try again?

[ralfdreibrodt]

Thank you, it is working now!

[gflohr]

Thank you for reporting the problems!
