WorkerError: failed to process image

[pol4b]

I was using gatsby to well until yesterday. Today I moved whole gatsby site folder to my laptop. On my laptop there's all dependencies installed and all files posts, images, files etc. were moved successfully. But, if I try to build my site gatsby throws error on processing images. Permissions are right what do I have to check else?

gatsby --version
Gatsby CLI version: 2.8.29
Gatsby version: 2.19.12
  Note: this is the Gatsby version for the site at: /home/pol4bear/Blog/Blog

Hi!

Sorry to hear you're running into an issue. To help us best begin debugging the underlying cause, it is incredibly helpful if you're able to create a minimal reproduction. This is a simplified example of the issue that makes it clear and obvious what the issue is and how we can begin to debug it.

If you're up for it, we'd very much appreciate if you could provide a minimal reproduction and we'll be able to take another look.

Thanks for using Gatsby! 💜

I'm glad you reported this, the same happens to me. Works fine on OS X but fails on my Ubuntu server.

Edit: Solved by re-installing the modules

rm -rf node_modules
rm package-lock.json
npm cache clear --force
npm install

Also updated now gatsby and gatsby-image... same error

Sharp: => Found "sharp@0.25.4"

Looks like the error is swalloed so here is the real error: Command failed with exit code 99: ccc\\node_modules\\pngquant-bin\\vendor\\pngquant.exe - --strip --quality 100-100

[davet42]

I have been working ona similar problem and found both this issue and the aforementioned #26273 See notes there for what I believe is a fix - the imagemin-pngquant package. I have a pull request in and am doing more testing. See the notes on https://github.com/gatsbyjs/gatsby/issues/26723 for the fix. In my environment, I thought first it was transparent png, then calls with quality = 100. Eventually found that status code 99 was not being checked properly in the imagemin-pngquant.

[AndyBrownlie]

yep, getting this same issue on Win10. Removed a png and now building as expected

[andreibardas]

I'm glad you reported this, the same happens to me. Works fine on OS X but fails on my Ubuntu server.

Edit: Solved by re-installing the modules

rm -rf node_modules
rm package-lock.json
npm cache clear --force
npm install

not working for me (tried cleaning everything) :(

[nikhilag]

Why is this issue closed? I am still seeing the same issue on Windows 10.

[nikhilag]

This solution worked for me from the thread - https://github.com/gatsbyjs/gatsby/issues/26723

My current solution is to downgrade gatsby-plugin-sharp to version 2.6.26.

[andreibardas]

so guys, I solved my issue by changing all image quality from 100 to 99. took me 1 hour (be carefull with "replace all"). I hope this will help someone!

[karlhorky]

Workaround with latest versions of plugins (without changing image quality)

1. Install patch-package (npm install patch-package or yarn add patch-package postinstall-postinstall)
2. Add "postinstall": "patch-package" to scripts in package.json
3. Go into node_modules/imagemin-pngquant/index.js and change error.code to error.exitCode on line 66 (see diff below)
4. Run npx patch-package imagemin-pngquant
5. Commit the changes, including the patch

This will save the change that you make to the index.js file and apply it any time / anywhere that npm install or yarn is run in the project.

Diff (difference before and after)

    const promise = subprocess
        .then(result => result.stdout) // eslint-disable-line promise/prefer-await-to-then
        .catch(error => {
-           if (error.code === 99) {
+           if (error.exitCode === 99) {
                return input;
            }
