Error loading SVG file

[T-bond]

Hello.

I'm trying to load my SVG file, but I got js error in the Developer Console.

index.js:9 Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property '_intersection' of null
(Google Chrome 52.0.2743.116 m (64-bit))

In Microsoft Edge:
The following popup appears:

Invalid SVG file
Please use a real SVG file instead.

My SVG file
It is a minified, simplified version of the svg made in Inkscape. (None of the option worked by default during export from Inkscape)
Simplified by: https://jakearchibald.github.io/svgomg/

I tried the example svg-s from this repo, and tried to edit the path, but it gives the same error.
There is a problem with the svg or with the generator?

Hey @T-bond, thanks for reporting this issue.

The icon you are trying to convert contains two open paths with a large stroke width, which makes up the roof and walls. The shadow generator only works with closed paths.

Inkscape has a cool little tool for exactly that purpose. If you select your path, go to "Path" -> "Stroke to Path" and the result will be two closed paths. That should work fine with the shadow generator.

To illustrate what I mean:

Original icon (open paths)

Updated icon (closed paths)

Final result

Does that makes sense?

On a second thought, that should probably be included as part of a FAQ. Do you mind if I take your house icon as an example?

[T-bond]

Thanks. It worked.
You can use the icon as an example. :)
But the Chrome should show the same popup, or not?

[Maddoc42]

Yes, nice catch 😳 Chrome doesn't display anything at all (other than console), that's a 🪲!

The generator now shows a custom error msg on open paths, c10a714 should fix that.

Thanks again @T-bond for finding this 😊
