main.worker.js?

[mark-norgate]

I have built pdf.js in accordance with these instructions. The code generated includes this line:

var worker = new Worker(workerSrc);

Chrome is complaining that it cannot find the file GET http://localhost:8100/build/main.worker.js.

Now then, I have not come across web workers before, so I'm not sure what this error means or where to find, or build, this file. I notice that the build process also yields a file called pdf.worker.js, and I have strong suspicions that this might be the file it's after, although renaming it to main.worker.js had no effect.

I'm sure this is a very simple problem if you are in the know. What am I missing?

Ok, after a little more digging, I found this which pertains more to my situation. I am using Ionic 2 and I don't know how to generate the file referenced in this line:

pdfjsLib.PDFJS.workerSrc = '../../build/webpack/pdf.worker.bundle.js';

Can anyone illuminate my dark mind?

@mark-norgate you'd probably find the information in the issue I previously filed helpful. See also #7683

You need to specify PDFJS.workerSrc or PDFJS.workerPort. Using 'pdfjs-dist/webpack' with provide workerPort automatically (see #8107). Closing as answered.
