IP doesn't generate invoice number after download

Support
1

Hi to all,

I’ve found a bug after updating to IP 1.5.8 (but also IP 1.5.9 is affected), with generate_invoice_number_for_draft set to No and mark_invoices_sent_pdf set to Yes, when I download a drafted invoice, the invoice changes his status to sent but doesn’t generate the invoice number and downloads a PDF without the invoice number.

But if I manually change invoice status from draft to sent, the invoice number generates correctly.

You can test this bug directly in the InvoicePlane demo with the latest version.

I think the bug is caused by this pull request [IP-602] & [IP-603] - Invoice/Quote number generated after sent.

I could be wrong but maybe adding this line in application/modules/invoices/controllers/Invoices.php fixes the problem:

public function generate_pdf($invoice_id, $stream = true, $invoice_template = null)
    {
        $this->load->helper('pdf');

        if (get_setting('mark_invoices_sent_pdf') == 1) {
+           $this->mdl_invoices->generate_invoice_number_if_applicable($invoice_id);
            $this->mdl_invoices->mark_sent($invoice_id);
        }

        generate_invoice_pdf($invoice_id, $stream, $invoice_template, null);
    }
...

And, of course, the same thing happens with quotes.

Thank you!
