I'm trying to upload some photos as I receive them from a POST request, here is my code:

var multer  = require('multer');
var Upload = require('s3-uploader');
var upload = multer({ dest: 'uploads/' });
var photoRouter = require('express').Router();

// Same as Example in README
var client = new Upload('my-bucket-name', {
  aws: {
    path: 'images/',
    region: 'eu-west-1',
    accessKeyId: 'my-key-id',
    secretAccessKey: 'my-secret-acess-key',
    acl: 'public-read'
  },
  cleanup: {
    versions: true,
    original: false
  },
  original: {
    awsImageAcl: 'private'
  },
  versions: [{
    maxHeight: 1040,
    maxWidth: 1040,
    format: 'jpg',
    suffix: '-large',
    quality: 80,
    awsImageExpires: 31536000,
    awsImageMaxAge: 31536000
  },{
    maxWidth: 780,
    aspect: '3:2!h',
    suffix: '-medium'
  },{
    maxWidth: 320,
    aspect: '16:9!h',
    suffix: '-small'
  },{
    maxHeight: 100,
    aspect: '1:1',
    format: 'png',
    suffix: '-thumb1'
  },{
    maxHeight: 250,
    maxWidth: 250,
    aspect: '1:1',
    suffix: '-thumb2'
  }]
});

photoRouter.post('/', upload.array('photos', 12), postPhoto);

function postPhoto(req, res, next) {

  console.log(req.files);
  // I'm ignoring the posted files, that are correctly saved, and trying to upload the photo I have in the folder
  return client.upload('uploads/profile-picture.jpg', {}, function(err, versions, data) {
    if (err) {
      console.log('Nope', err.message);
      return res.status(400).send('KO');
    }

    console.log('Success', versions, data);
    return res.status(200).send('OK');
  });
}

And here is the error I'm getting:

Nope Command failed: /bin/sh -c identify -format "name=

I'm using node 4.2.4 on OSX 10.11.2 with s3-uploader 1.1.0

@kikar Could you verify if ImageMagick is installed on your instance? https://github.com/Turistforeningen/node-s3-uploader#requirements

[kikar]

@anthonyringoet Nope, is that required? Cause I wont be able to install it on my server

[anthonyringoet]

@kikar s3-uploader module uses imagemagick in the background to generate the different image sizes. After the resize process, they are uploaded to S3. Imagemagick is a hard requirement right now.

[kikar]

@anthonyringoet Is ImageMagick CLI enough? Would I be fine just installing it with brew install imagemagick?

[anthonyringoet]

@kikar Normally that should fix it yes. Please try it and verify your imagemagick version identify --version

[anthonyringoet]

Did it work out for you @kikar? Feel free to open if you're still having issues.

hey! sorry to re-open this but I'm running into a similar issue with some(!) images!

Error: Error: Command failed: identify -format "name=
size=%[size]
format=%m
colorspace=%[colorspace]
height=%[height]
width=%[width]

" /tmp/1504179042590.png
identify: improper image header `/tmp/1504179042590.png' @ error/png.c/ReadPNGImage/4232.

For some reason some images work and some don't.. any idea?
