HTML2Canvas: Unable to find element in cloned iframe

Issue

In my program, I am trying to do a PDF export of some pages, but I encountered the following error when HTML2Canvas tries to process the elements that I have:

Unable to find element in cloned iframe

And only this. This is the code I use:

public exportToPdf(
    selectedFilter: SelectedFilter,
    currentTime: string,
    idOfExportDiv: string[]
  ): void {
    this.addClassToMainDiv();

    const elementsToScreenshot: HTMLElement[] = [];

    for (let index = 0; index < idOfExportDiv.length; index++) {
      elementsToScreenshot.push(document.getElementById(idOfExportDiv[index]));
    }

    const fileName = 'export-' + currentTime + '.pdf';
    this.download(elementsToScreenshot, fileName, selectedFilter, currentTime);
  }

And the download function:

  download(elementById: HTMLElement[], name, selectedFilter: SelectedFilter, currentTime: string) {
    const html2canvasPromises: Promise<unknown>[] = [];

    for (let index = 0; index < elementById.length; index++) {
      html2canvasPromises.push(
        html2canvas(elementById[index], {
          useCORS: true
        }).then(canvas => {
          const image = canvas.toDataURL();
          const imagePromise = this.addImage(image);
          return imagePromise;
        })
      );
    }

    Promise.all(html2canvasPromises)
      .then(content => {
        this.removeClassFromMainDiv();
        this.downloadPdf(selectedFilter, currentTime, name, content);
        this.pdfCreated.next(true);
        this.loadingSpinnerService.close();
      })
      .catch(error => {
        console.error('Image conversion error', 'Failed to screenshot and download provided elements', {
          error: error
        });
        this.removeClassFromMainDiv();
        this.pdfCreated.next(true);
        this.loadingSpinnerService.close();
      });
  }

The "elementsToScreenshot" is an array of HTMLElements that is always filled with the correct found elements inside the HTML rendering, which look like this:

0: div#main-screen-export-div.m-l-20.m-top-15.wrapper-comp
1: div#export-main-0.d-flex.w-100.ng-star-inserted
2: div#export-main-1.d-flex.w-100.ng-star-inserted
3: div#export-main-2.d-flex.w-100.ng-star-inserted

Since I use Angular and I need some dynamically set ids, the ids of the 1,2 and 3 divs are set like this in HTML:

<div [id]="'export-main-' + index"></div>

I have no iframes in my program, trackers, or other 3rd party injectors like google ads, Did anyone else encounter this problem before and knows how to fix it?

EDIT: Maybe this proves helpful. This is the file where the error probably triggers, since I found this exact error in there:

Solution

I found the issue in the end

The nesting of the HTML looked like this:

<div data-html2canvas-ignore="true">
   <div>
      <div id="export-main-0"></div>
   </div>
</div>

The issue was that one of the parent divs had that data-html2canvas-ignore tag applied on it, which made the child div being undetectable by the html2canvas. Simply removing the ignore rule from the parent div made everything work again.
