TemplateProcessor Error on Load Template

[pietsteph]

Describe the Bug

My project is using CodeIgniter 3 and I tried to load template from docx file placed in assets folder but it gave me an error. I'm sure that the path is correct, because when I tried to directly access the link generated in "Current Behavior" section, I can access the file (downloaded to my browser).

Steps to Reproduce

$templateProcessor = new \PhpOffice\PhpWord\TemplateProcessor(base_url('assets/templates/template_ba_adjust_absence.docx'));

Expected Behavior

Expected to load the docx file from defined path.

Current Behavior

A PHP Error was encountered
Severity: Warning

Message: copy(http:https://localhost:8080/assets/templates/template_ba_adjust_absence.docx): Failed to open stream: Cannot assign requested address

Filename: PhpWord/TemplateProcessor.php

Line Number: 115
