InDesign server - preflight error

[Ronald63]

Hi,

I have a error with saveReport function ...

[javascript] Exécution du fichier : /Applications/Adobe InDesign Server 2021/Scripts/preflight/ExportPreflightReport.jsx
[serveur] Error: Valeur incorrecte pour le paramètre 'openOption' de la méthode 'open'. OpenOptions enumerator attendu(e), mais FALSE reçu(e).

Snippet of my code

var mErrorFolder = Folder(mSwypBoxErrorFolder.fsName.concat('/',_CODE_PUBLICATION,'/',mNomenclature,'/'));
FOLDER_create (mErrorFolder);
var mDocName = d.name.split('.indd')[0];
mPreflightProcess.saveReport(File(''.concat(mErrorFolder ,'/','#erreur_', mDocName,'.pdf')));

No error with InDesign CC 2021 Desktop ...

ExportPreflightReport.jsx files are the same in /Applications/Adobe InDesign 2021/Scripts/Preflight and /Applications/Adobe InDesign Server 2021/Scripts/Preflight

Thanks for your help
Ronald

Hi,

Are you able to share the whole code as I don't think that error has to do with the snippet you posted?

Hi,

I think my code is not the source of the problem because the same script works with InDesign CC2021 desktop.
I suspect the ExportPreflightReport.jsx file is the cause of the problem ...

However here is all the code of the PREFLIGHT function

    var a = [];
    preflightFlag = false;
    var co,d,f,flag0,folio,ind0,ind1,m,n,p,rub0,rub1,s;

    c0 = mXMLdata.xpath('count(//*/PAGE)'); // count page node
    if (c0){
        /*===========*/
        /* PREFLIGHT */
        /*===========*/
        for (var i = 1; i <= c0; i++) {
            flag0 = true;
            
            rub1 = STR_normalize(mXMLdata.xpath('//*/PAGE[position()=' + i + ']/@rubrique').toString());
            ind1 = mXMLdata.xpath('//*/PAGE[position()=' + i + ']/@nom');
            if (i > 1){
                rub0 = STR_normalize(mXMLdata.xpath('//*/PAGE[position()=' + (i-1) + ']/@rubrique').toString());
                ind0 = mXMLdata.xpath('//*/PAGE[position()=' + (i-1) + ']/@nom');
                if (ind0 == ind1){
                    flag0 = false;
                }
            }

            if (flag0){
                a = [];
                /* open file */
                var mFile =File(mPackageInFolder.fsName.concat('/',ind1));

                app.open(mFile);
                var d = app.documents[0];

                updateAllLinks(d);

                var mDocFolder = Folder(d.filePath.fullName);
                var mPreflightFile = File(_LocalPath.concat('/_production/instance/_assemblage/#profil_idpp#/',_CODE_INSTANCE.toLowerCase(),'.idpp'));
                var mPreFlightName = _CODE_INSTANCE.toLowerCase();
                if (!mPreflightFile.exists){
                    errorMsg = '|'.concat('preflight profil not found','|',mPreFlightName);
                    LOG_error (errorMsg);
                }
           
                /*remove old preflight*/
                if (app.preflightProfiles.item(mPreFlightName) != null){
                    app.preflightProfiles.item(mPreFlightName).remove();
                }
                /*load preflight*/
                app.loadPreflightProfile(mPreflightFile);
                /*create preflight process*/
                var mPreflightProcess = app.preflightProcesses.add(d, app.preflightProfiles.item(mPreFlightName));
                var mWaitProcess = mPreflightProcess.waitForProcess();
                /*check preflight result*/
                if (mPreflightProcess.processResults != 'None'){
                    var errors = mPreflightProcess.aggregatedResults[2];
                    if(errors.length > 0){
                        var mErrorFolder = Folder(mSwypBoxErrorFolder.fsName.concat('/',_CODE_PUBLICATION,'/',mNomenclature,'/'));
                        FOLDER_create (mErrorFolder);

Hi,

I notice in your code you have this line

app.open(mFile);

and from the document - https://www.indesignjs.de/extendscriptAPI/indesign-latest/#Application.html#d1e42253__d1e47649

as you are only specifiying the document to open: the actual call would be

app.open(mFile, true, OpenOptions.DEFAULT_VALUE);

which I believe would try and open a window, which I don't think InDesign Server can do, so you might need to make this call

app.open(mFile, false);

I don't have InDesign Server to check, but it might be worth a shot.

Have a look at https://www.indesignjs.de/extendscriptAPI/indesign-server-latest/#Application.html#d1e40869__d1e4548... - the middle parameter "showingWindow" is omitted for the server.

[Dirk Becker]

Following up:

Note that the quoted "indesign-server-latest" was produced for 2019.

The default value for parameters can optionally get specified in ScriptInfo (the resource data that is also used to produce OMV files). So if an argument is omitted (on runtime) it will get taken from the resource. If now that ScriptInfo resource is built for InDesign Desktop rather than for InDesign Server (could be some preprocessor directive wrong), the middle parameter would receive the false rather than the expected enum value.

In that case (plenty speculation) an implementation of the open method that picks up the parameters by position rather than by name would find the true in arguments[1].

Could be something different, e.g. a well meaning developer has homogenized the argument list between Desktop and Server. You'd find out by looking at the actual OMV via ESTK. In that case a versioned script might help, or just providing the parameters as @BarlaeDC suggested. Unfortunately - pardon my limited french - I could not make a sense out of the particular error message.

I found this ...

https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign-discussions/problem-with-save-preflight-report-using-javascr... 

I modified the ExportPreflightReport.jsx file, but without success ...

I try 

mPreflightProcess.saveReport(File(''.concat(mErrorFolder ,'/','#erreur_', mDocName,'.pdf')),OpenOptions.FALSE);

mPreflightProcess.saveReport(File(''.concat(mErrorFolder ,'/','#erreur_', mDocName,'.pdf')));

mPreflightProcess.saveReport(File(''.concat(mErrorFolder ,'/','#erreur_', mDocName,'.pdf')),false);
