Downloading the article "Finanztransaktionssteuer" on dewiki as a PDF file fails. The process stays at 0,00% with status "Fetching wiki configuration (Wikiseite: //de.wikipedia.org/w)". Reloading the page prompts an error message: "Rendering process died with non zero code: 1" Not sure how this is related to bug 71993. Steps to reproduce ================== 1) Go to https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finanztransaktionssteuer 2) Click "Als PDF herunterladen"/"Download as PDF" (Originally reported by another user via email, confirmed by me.)
It does not stay at 0% anymore (bug 71993 has been tackled) but still ends up with "Rendering process died with non zero code: 1"
While I've seen many articles where PDF creation worked fine, here's another one where it fails with the same error message: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russland (also reported via email and confirmed by me)
The book https://pt.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Especial:Livro&bookcmd=rendering&return_to=Livro%3ACl%C3%A1ssicos+do+Fluminense+Football+Club&collection_id=338d11ca45329678f20d44382ce753125e47a2a0&writer=rl also shows the same error after 80% or so... This was reported on https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:Caf%C3%A9_dos_programadores?oldid=40380552#Falha_em_baixar_livro_por_PDF
Another example: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_Report,_July_2014 Error message (no percentage shown): "Generation of the document file has failed. Status: Rendering process died with non zero code: 1"
These bugs on different pages probably don't have a common cause, but we'll leave them lumped together for now.
