Error: Input file contains unsupported image format

[chris-hammond]

The following issue appears to be related to previous libvips issue: #2023, but is occurring with the latest package versions. The suggested fix for the related gatsby issue did not help.

Using [email protected], with the following versions:

  aom: '2.0.1',
  cairo: '1.17.4',
  exif: '0.6.22',
  expat: '2.2.10',
  ffi: '3.3',
  fontconfig: '2.13.93',
  freetype: '2.10.4',
  fribidi: '1.0.10',
  gdkpixbuf: '2.42.2',
  gettext: '0.21',
  gif: '5.1.4',
  glib: '2.67.1',
  gsf: '1.14.47',
  harfbuzz: '2.7.2',
  heif: '1.10.0',
  jpeg: '2.0.6',
  lcms: '2.11',
  orc: '0.4.32',
  pango: '1.48.0',
  pixman: '0.40.0',
  png: '1.6.37',
  svg: '2.50.2',
  spng: '0.6.1',
  tiff: '4.2.0',
  vips: '8.10.5',
  webp: '1.1.0',
  xml: '2.9.10',
  zlib: '1.2.11'
}

What are the steps to reproduce? Use the following code:

const sharp = require('sharp');

console.log(sharp.versions);

console.log(sharp.format.png);

async function openFile(input) {
  return await sharp(input).metadata();
}

openFile("src/img/icon.png")
  .then((result) => {
    console.log(result);
  })
  .catch((err) => {
    console.error(err);
    process.exit(1);
  });

What is the expected behaviour?
The code should successfully open the file and report the metadata. Instead the code reports [Error: Input file contains unsupported image format].

Are you able to provide a minimal, standalone code sample, without other dependencies, that demonstrates this problem?
See above.

Are you able to provide a sample image that helps explain the problem?
This error occurs with all images, regardless of image or format.

What is the output of running npx envinfo --binaries --system?

This error occurs with all images, regardless of image or format.

Please can you create a minimal, standalone repo with a package.json, this code and a sample image that allows someone else to reproduce it.

[chris-hammond]

Shoot. Turns out I'd changed build images and lost git-lfs. Nothing seemed wrong when I ls-ed the image directory, but ls -al finally threw some red flags in my head. Nothing wrong with sharp, although it would have save me hours of time if the error message could have told me that it was trying to process a text file... :-P Might be a worthwhile feature to add, but I'm not sure how difficult it would be.

I get this error inconsistency when running over a data set of about 100 images. If I close a bunch of programs down on my laptop I get further through the list. Seems like it could be a memory leak.

@AlastairTaft If you're still having problems, please open a new issue with complete, standalone code sample and image(s) that allow someone else to reproduce.
