Getting an error when trying to run gulp-svg2png

[davidturner]

I’m in the process of trying to switch my grunt workflow to a gulp one, but I’ve run into an issue when running the svg2png process. I’ve tried it inside of my own workflow, but also when I clone the repo.

When I clone the repo down, and run npm install everything installs fine. When I then run the gulp command the following occurs:

[gulp] Using file /Users/davidturner/Desktop/gulp-svg2png-master/gulpfile.js

I’ve not done anything past cloning the repo down and installing the modules, so it may be that I’ve missed something out. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hej,

hm, strange. Which version of gulp and Node.js do you use?

/André

[davidturner]

Node: v0.10.25 Gulp: CLI version 3.5.2

Running on a MBP running OS X 10.9.1, in case that helps.

@davidturner Does this problem still persists?

[davidturner]

@akoenig It looks like the issue is still there for me, though the line numbers involved have changed slightly. The error output I’m getting now is:

Really strange. Can't reproduce it :/

Getting this too: http://cl.ly/image/1b293c1A2z0o

node v0.10.24
gulp v3.6.2

Here are the relevant parts of my gulpfile:

gulp = require 'gulp'
imagemin = require 'gulp-imagemin'
svg2png = require 'gulp-svg2png'

# build icons
gulp.task 'icons', ->
    gulp.src 'wp-content/themes/bolster2/icons/*'
        .pipe imagemin { svgoPlugins: [{ removeViewBox: true }] }
        .pipe gulp.dest 'build/icons'
        .pipe svg2png()
        .pipe gulp.dest 'build/icons/png'

EDIT: It doesn't work, even if I remove the imagemin stuff.

@thomaswelton what are the filenames of your svgs? I hit this issue when I had # in the name, since it messed up phantomjs (it interprets it as a url fragment, which makes sense).

[thomaswelton]

nothing special in the names. Thanks for your reply by I swapped to use gulp-raster which works just fine
