Having "Convertion Failure" after upgrading to 1.0.7

[rougin]

Hello! After I upgraded this package in one of my projects to the latest version (1.0.7), it encountered an error during its conversion:

PHP Fatal error: Uncaught NcJoes\\OfficeConverter\\OfficeConverterException: Convertion Failure! Contact Server Admin:code 77 
error: javaldx failed!
Warning: failed to read path from javaldx
LibreOffice 6.4 - Fatal Error: The application cannot be started.
User installation could not be completed. in /var/www/html/vendor/ncjoes/officeconverter/src/OfficeConverter/OfficeConverter.php:284

Here is the code that I wrote below for the conversion (from .docx to `.pdf):

use NcJoes\OfficeConverter\OfficeConverter;

function print($file)
{
    $pdf = str_replace('docx', 'pdf', $file);

    (new OfficeConverter($file))->convertTo($pdf);

    unlink($file);

    return $pdf;
}

print('sample.docx');

While below is the version of LibreOffice installed in the system:

LibreOffice 6.4.7.2 40(Build:2)

I reverted it back to 1.0.5 in order to fix the issue temporarily.

I have the same error.
I am using LibreOffice 7.4.7.2 40(Build:2)
I tried office-converter versions 1.0.7 and 1.0.6.

What could be wrong?

I've found that this error is caused by #54 commit 4558766#diff-4f562a7ee0b4476ad657a3d54946e2faedba51b3a481895cf2b8ea624d9f44b7R144-R149 lines 144-149.
As the author stated, it should be made optional and not be merged as-is. Seems that $_SERVER['HOME'] variable is a non-standard that depends on actual server configuration - for example, it can return "/var/www" instead of user's home directory. That's what caused error in my case (Debian 12 with Apache and PHP-FPM).

Hey @rougin @Mi-Zaft @mortalkiller @santaclaus21 may I ask you to try to revert this change locally in your apps and check if that fixes the problem in 1.0.7?

Hi @maciazek,

Thanks for the reply. I can confirm that reverting that line of code from the latest version fixes the issue.
