PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: b'' about imgkit

Just as a short update in case sombody still hast the problem. In my case installing xvfb in Ubuntu 20.04 resolved the issue:

sudo apt-get install xvfb

Any update on this?

this is the reason for the issue: https://bugs.alpinelinux.org/issues/9617
In config.py the xvfb-run command is not found and therefore b'' is stored. You cannot execute the empty string.

A possible solution until xvfb-run is packaged in alpine is to add the file manually (the one from here works for example: https://github.com/cjpetrus/alpine_webkit2png)

There should be some error handling code if no executable is found to assist in the debugging.

opened pull request #33 to have better error handling which shows an error if xvfb-run is not available

PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: b''

This error is caused by not found xvfb-run, so b'' means the final xvfb-run path. Fixed in https://github.com/jarrekk/imgkit/blob/V1.1.0/imgkit/config.py
