Can't add dynamic base64 image in custom print format

Frappe Framework Customization
1

Hello, everyone.
I added a text field to Sales Invoice with a generated base64 image of the barcode (the barcode is a requirement of Electronic Invoice in my country), then I created a Custom Print Format and added a section with the following HTML:

<img src="data:image/png;base64, {{ doc.barcode }}">

When tried to save, I get the following error:

TypeError: Incorrect padding

Watching the code it seems isn’t possibly add a dynamic image in this way, only works for static content.

Thanks

While saving a document, the system will automatically extract base64 encoded from HTML.

Maybe there needs to be a way to flag html extraction script to ignore extraction of images if you pass a tag.

Maybe just catch that exception and pass it. Also send a Pull!

Thanks for the answer, you have confirmed what I was supposed.
Knowing this I’ll try to find a way and will send a pull request.

6 years later, unfortunately, this seems to be not done. I’m still experiencing issues. The src attribute just gets removed.
