I'm working in suitescript 2.1.

My goal is to send an object containing the data needed by the N/render module to get a PDF file from a template filled with all the data in my Map/Reduce script.

My expected result would be to get an email sent to my mailbox with the PDF and all its content. I did manage to send an email with a hello world pdf. I think the problem comes from the way I'm setting my template but I can not be sure. This is the error i get:

execute on com.sun.proxy.$Proxy954.setTemplate failed due to: Cannot convert '{id: accessor, size: accessor, url: accessor, path: accessor, fileType: accessor, isText: accessor, encoding: accessor, name: accessor, f...'(language: JavaScript, type: NetSuiteObject) to Java type 'java.lang.String': Invalid or lossy primitive coercion.

This is my function :

  function generatePdfFileFromRawXml(jsonObj) {
    const templateId = file.load({
      id: './QuotesMonthPDF.template.xml',
    });
    const renderer = render.create();
    renderer.templateContent = templateId;
    renderer.addCustomDataSource({
      format: render.DataSource.OBJECT,
      alias: 'JSON',
      data: jsonObj,
    });

This is my template, currently the template has no fields, I was testing if it worked

The problem was this line :

 renderer.templateContent = templateId;

The correct way to do this is :

 renderer.templateContent = templateId.getContents();
