You must choose a style before generating the PDF.

Error message

You must choose a style before generating the PDF.

What it means

create_resume_pdf_job_tailored generates a job-tailored resume PDF and needs a CSS style file chosen via the style manager. If get_style_path() returns None (no style selected), generation cannot proceed and a ValueError is raised.

Solutions

1. Call the style manager's set/select method with a valid style (or style file path) before creating the PDF.
2. Verify the style actually exists (get_style_path() returns a path) before invoking the facade.
3. If styles load from a directory, ensure that directory is configured and populated.

Example fix

# before
pdf = facade.create_resume_pdf_job_tailored()
# after
facade.style_manager.set_style('classic')  # or select_style_by_path(...)
pdf = facade.create_resume_pdf_job_tailored()

if facade.style_manager.get_style_path() is None:
    facade.style_manager.set_style('classic')
pdf = facade.create_resume_pdf_job_tailored()

def style_chosen(facade) -> bool:
    return facade.style_manager.get_style_path() is not None

try:
    pdf = facade.create_resume_pdf_job_tailored()
except ValueError as e:
    if 'choose a style' in str(e):
        facade.style_manager.set_style('classic')
        pdf = facade.create_resume_pdf_job_tailored()
    else:
        raise

When it happens

Trigger: Calling create_resume_pdf_job_tailored() on the ResumeFacade before selecting/setting a resume style through the style manager (set_style / select_style API).

Common situations: Building a new pipeline and forgetting the style-selection step, style files not found so the manager defaults to None, or UI flow where the user skipped style choice.
