JPG image optimization not working

[jeffwhelpley]

When I use this:

            dist: {
                options: {
                    optimizationLevel: 3
                },
                files: {
                    '../dist/img': ['../images/**/*.*']
                }
            }

It won't copy my jpg images and if I specify an jpg like this:

            dist: {
                options: {
                    optimizationLevel: 3
                },
                files: {
                    '../dist/img/email.jpg': ['../images/email.jpg*']
                }
            }

I get the following error:

Fatal error: ENOENT, no such file or directory 'c:\proj\dist\img\email.jpg'

I'm getting the same error with a default 'yo webapp' build:

imagemin: {
            dist: {
                files: [{
                    expand: true,
                    cwd: '<%= yeoman.app %>/images',
                    src: '*.{png,jpg,jpeg}',
                    dest: '<%= yeoman.dist %>/images'
                }]
            }
        },

Running "imagemin:dist" (imagemin) task
Error
Fatal error: ENOENT, no such file or directory 'dist/images/test.png'

this is happening for both jpg AND png test files for me on OSX.

I am getting the same issue here with the default gruntfile created with "yo webapp" (1.0)

[omasback]

yeah im getting exact same thing as oldskool. I ran yo webapp then i ran grunt build. It built fine. then i put one png in the app/images folder and ran the build again and it failed.

Fatal error: ENOENT, no such file or directory 'dist/images/ringlogo-yellow.png'

Im running osx 10.6

[dennishn]

I am facing the same issue aswell, allthough if i specify only png files it works fine:

imagemin: {
    dist: {
        files: [{
            expand: true,
            cwd: 'images',
            src: '**/*.png',
            dest: '<%= yeoman.dist %>/images'
        }]
    }
}

Everything is okay, files gets copied and minified.

But:

imagemin: {
    dist: {
        files: [{
            expand: true,
            cwd: 'images',
            src: '**/*.jpg',
            dest: '<%= yeoman.dist %>/images'
        }]
    }
}

Results in a

Fatal error: ENOENT, no such file or directory 'dist/images/test.jpg'

If i test the grunt-contrib-imagemin from within the node_modules of my webapp (and include a jpg files to test on ) :

\webapp\node_modules\grunt-contrib-imagemin\grunt imagemin:dist --verbose

It doesnt work either. It does however work with png files here aswell.

I'm using Windows 7

[rob-bar]

I'm running on mac and have the same issue with png files. So this is not an os system issue. Can someone help us default yo webapp config

[dennishn]

I fixed it on Windows by doing two things:

1. Downloading and updating my jpegtran.exe file following the steps here: https://github.com/yeoman/node-jpegtran-bin
2. Copying jpeg62.dll from the libjpeg-turbo folder extracted earlier to the jpegtran-bin folder in the imagemin node_modules folder.. In my case from: C:\libjpeg-turbo64\bin To: ..\webapp\node_modules\grunt-contrib-imagemin\node_modules\jpegtran-bin\vendor\win64

After that the imagemin task runs fine and minifies jpg files aswell.

[jahvi]

The suggestion from @dennishn worked fine, I wish it gets fixed soon though

[sindresorhus]

@dennishn can you open a PR on node-jpegtran-bin with that fix?

[dennishn]

@sindresorhus I can, but i have no clue which files people on other OS's need.

[hansek]

@dennishn Thx, your solution works also for Windows 7 32-bit.

Only is needed to download 32-bit version of libjpeg-turbo (libjpeg-turbo-1.2.90-vc.exe) and copy DLL to ..\grunt-contrib-imagemin\node_modules\jpegtran-bin\vendor\win32

[sindresorhus]

I've updated the Windows binaries and added the dll file.

Could anyone test if it's working?

Just replace the one living in the imagemin node_modules folder with master https://github.com/yeoman/node-jpegtran-bin

[jahvi]

@sindresorhus I can confirm it's working now on Win7 64bits

[sindresorhus]

New version of jpegtran-bin published. Try reinstalling this task and let me know how it works for you now:

npm uninstall grunt-contrib-imagemin && npm install grunt-contrib-imagemin

[tolusonaike]

Works on OSX! Doesnt seem to copy subfolders though. Is this unrelated?

[ OSX 10.8.2, node v0.8.22, npm 1.2.11 ]

[sindresorhus]

Doesnt seem to copy subfolders though. Is this unrelated?

Yes, see "Building the files object dynamically" in the docs: https://github.com/gruntjs/grunt/wiki/Configuring-tasks

[zealton]

I still can't make it work although I tried the above ways. [npm 1.3.7 ; node v0.11.6pre ; OS 10.8.4 ]

[kitsguru]

I am having this same issue on Win 7 64 bit sp1 I have followed the above instructions and uninstalled and re-installed imagemin and replaced jpegtran per @dennishn Setup: npm 1.3.8 yo 1.0 grunt 0.4.1 imagemin 0.3.0

Running grunt -v I get the following output after several files are processed ok then: snippet just before things go south :(

:+1: for @sindresorhus reinstallation fix

[danielvdende]

Having the same problem here on OS X, tried proposed solution by @dennishn. Sadly didn't work. Also reinstalled grunt-contrib-imagemin, but did not help. Is there a workaround/fix for OS X yet?

[Meandmybadself]

For those running into this issue, I've found a solve on OSX by not relying upon imagemin to copy the files to a destination location. Instead:

• Copy the images to the destination folder using grunt-contrib-copy
• Run imagemin against the images in the dist folder.

[cesarandreu]

I tried upgrading to 0.5.0 but got this error. Not getting this error with 0.3.0.

I'm on OS X 10.9.1, using node v0.10.24.

[adam-marshall]

Same problem here on Win7 64. Tried everything in the thread so far. Now taking the same approach as @Meandmybadself

[wangshijun]

Same problem here on Mac OSX. Tried everything in the thread so far. Now taking the same approach as @Meandmybadself

[rileytg]

Having this issues also on OSX

[kevva]

Use 0.6.0-pre.

@sindresorhus thanks, its working for me.
