Cached images 404 after product import

[mikamarkus]

After I import products to Magento, product images are not created in pub/media/catalog/product/cache/... directory. However, cache url is created for every product. Example:

http://magento2.local/media/catalog/product/cache/d1300c7e0dc4569dfe02e09efb93be48/R/S/.jpg

This returns 404 and are not showing in frontend. Cached image does not exist on the disk. However, original image exists.

My pub- directory has correct ownerships, image attributes and mappings are configured correctly in Akeneo Connector -settings.

I have to run bin/magento catalog:image:resize to make them work. It takes over 15 minutes so that's not an option to do it manually every time.

Any ideas?

@mikamarkus I know this is an old issue, but i think i know what your problem might be

When the new images from Akeneo is imported the old cached images are not cleaned up

Instead of resizing your entire image catalog you can simply clear your image cache

I think your frontend still has the old product image url cached and when Akeneo updates your product the cache tag for the product is not properly cleared

i just had this issue and resolved it by verifying that product cache tags along with category cache tags are propperly cleaned after each product import ( depending on your need you can simply flush your cache once the entire integration run is done )
