Every time that I try to "Create a contract" in my system, Sidekiq show me this error :

Failed to execute: ["/fullpath/operations/app/views/contract_mailer/contract_email.html.erb", "/var/folders/0g/zqwyw_w11tld3w98vx9qf_vc0000gp/T/wicked_pdf_generated_file20170330-28967-pvuw5y.pdf"] Error: PDF could not be generated! Command Error: Error: Failed loading page file:////fullpath/operations/app/views/contract_mailer/contract_email.html.erb (sometimes it will work just to ignore this error with --load-error-handling ignore) Exit with code 1, due to unknown error.

I'm not understanding why this is happening, I followed every single step of the documentation and etc. My HTML file is OK too (apparently). Specifications of my system and some gems that I'm using:

Ruby 2.3.3
Rails 4.1.8
gem 'sidekiq', '~> 4.0.0' gem 'activeadmin', github: 'gregbell/active_admin'
gem 'sidekiq-cron', '~> 0.4.0'
gem 'aws-sdk', '~> 2'
gem 'paperclip', '~> 4.3.7'
gem 'wicked_pdf'
gem 'wkhtmltopdf-binary-edge', '~> 0.12.2.1'

Do you have `contract_email.pdf.erb` – Deepak Mahakale Apr 03 '17 at 13:06
Inside my "views"? Nope – Richard Nikolas Apr 03 '17 at 13:10
You might want to add the same action file like `.html.erb` as `.pdf.erb` – Deepak Mahakale Apr 03 '17 at 13:12

OK, let me try this here – Richard Nikolas Apr 03 '17 at 13:20
It's obligatory have that wicked_pdf tags in my HTML file? – Richard Nikolas Apr 03 '17 at 13:27
You will need to create `.pdf.erb` and you need to change styleshhet and javascript tag to use `wickedpdf_tag` – Deepak Mahakale Apr 03 '17 at 13:37
normal `stylesheet_tag`, `javascript_tag` and `image_tag` won't work – Deepak Mahakale Apr 03 '17 at 13:38
Sorry for this stupid question, but what that `<%= yield %>` do? – Richard Nikolas Apr 03 '17 at 14:04
It will render the content of the `action` in that case content inside `app/views/pdf/pdf_view.pdf.erb` – Deepak Mahakale Apr 03 '17 at 14:06
