Error with name in files SVG to run task

[rflmyk]

Good morning, I do not know why there are some svg's that give the error : Fatal error: Cannot read property 'x' of null when I run task svg-sprites , someone know why ?

[phloe]

Did it suddenly break without any changes to files or configuration?

[rflmyk]

Not, see sample: I save a svg file in the Illustrator named facebook.svg and put in folder together others files ***.svg , then I run task grunt sprite-svg when return to message.

[phloe]

Ok - so you added a new file. What does the svg source of it look like?

[rflmyk]

Yes, if I add one file in folder with name any the terminal print

Running "svg-sprites:create" (svg-sprites) task Building SVG sprites... Fatal error: Cannot read property 'x' of null

[phloe]

Would you mind posting a little more info here - like the name and svg-source of the file. It's hard to tell much from the error message alone.

[rflmyk]

Yes, follow: task

        'dr-svg-sprites': {
            create : {
                options: {
                    spriteElementPath: 'assets/imgs/svg/',
                    spritePath: 'assets/imgs/sprite/sprite.svg',
                    cssPath: 'assets/css/sass/objects/_icons.scss',
                    layout: 'packed', //packed , horizontal , vertical , diagonal
                    prefix: 'icons'
                }
            }
        }, // svg-sprites

Thanks for posting info ;) I see you used packed for layout - there was an issue fairly recently that may have been triggered by this: https://github.com/drdk/grunt-dr-svg-sprites/issues/36 Reviewing it I see it also gave the error message you encountered. We didn't find the actual bug - it was difficult to reproduce - but switching to another layout seemed to help. I'm not sure if this is would work given the number of sprite items you have - but it might work?

[rflmyk]

Very nice! That was it, thanks for help me! Other error that me happened was

Fatal error: Inappropriately located doctype declaration

, got it solve simply replaced

<!DOCTYPE svg PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD SVG 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/1.1/DTD/svg11.dtd" [
    <!ENTITY ns_flows "http://ns.adobe.com/Flows/1.0/">
]>

for:

<!DOCTYPE svg PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD SVG 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/1.1/DTD/svg11.dtd">

Till more ;)

Any news on this layout: packed issue?

[phloe]

Sadly - no. But I should probably close this one and make a new issue on it.
