Export loses some icons on cards added via compile helper

[arturskro]

Everything is fine in the export preview but export loses some icons (as if randomly) on cards added via compile helper. I use a desktop application on Linux Mint.

OK, the solution is to add anything e.g width=0px in line:
<div id="icons">{{compile card.icon width=0px}}</div>

#icons {
    width: 100%;
    height: 100px;
    [...]
}
#icons img {
    height: 100%;
    margin-left: 10px;
    margin-right: 10px;
}

Thanks for the report. This is an issue I have seen pop in intermittently depending on the internal version of the electron browser. I'll see if I can track down the root cause and create a fix.

I've been struggling to reproduce this on the latest version. If anyone runs into this, can you post your OS and Cider version so that I get some more data on the affected browsers/systems. Thanks!

I have also encountered this issue. From my observations, the number of icon references in a single card/attribute affects whether the icons are generated. The more icons I put in a card attribute, the higher chance that they won't be generated.

I’ve found a workaround by modifying the card attribute with missing icons: simply adding or removing a space at a card attribute is enough in 90% of cases. It seems that modifying the card attribute with a large number of icons somehow improves the icon generation for the cards.

I am currently using Cider version 0.4.12 (I started with 0.4.10).

The bug still exists. On the Opensuse my solution unfortunately does not work. Export preview is OK, pdf and tabletop option lose some icons when exporting - every time the same icons disappear but their margins are displayed.

PS. I loaded the Cosmic Apple project, saved the db.json, loaded it into https://oatear.github.io/cider/ and tried to export.
-> Failed to render card "Poison Apple" with template "Apple Front". Check for errors in this template and card data.

Edit: more info.

<div id="someid" class="someclass>{{compile card.damageicons}}</div>
card.damageicons: {{icon1}}{{icon2}}{{icon3}} <- not working, icon1 is displayed, icon2 and icon3 are missing.
card.damageicons: {{icon1}} {{icon2}} {{icon3}} <- with spaces, working fine.

Another case:
card.damageicons: {{icon1}} <- sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
card.damageicons: {{icon1}} <- this fixes it, but I don't know if it sometimes breaks icons.

When repeating the export on the same deck, the same icons on the same cards always disappear. Possible solution to do - export to html and screenshot but small image in headless browser mode may not work properly.

Edit2: temporary solution.
<div id="someid" class="someclass>{{compile (concat card.damageicons " ")}}</div>

Edit3: interesting bug. Then... I switched mint to opensuse and run Cider...
<div id="someid" class="someclass>{{compile (concat card.damageicons " ")}}</div> NOT WORKING!
<div id="someid" class="someclass>{{compile (concat card.damageicons "")}}</div> HEHE WORKS FINE ;)

Conclusion: Something is wrong in Cider data structures, cells, cache etc. Modifying data directly in Cider changes the results of the work.
