Just installed imagemin on Windows 7 but I'm getting this error, any light on this? Thanks.

Try reinstalling or install the module manually: npm install imagemin-gifsicle.

I tried to install it manually, but did not worked for me. I am getting below error messages:

Thanks @kevva I tried installing manually but errors continue, I have installed other modules without problems so it's not the network, I think it could be that I'm on windows?

Installing imagemin-gifsicle works for me on Windows 8.1 64-bit with Node.js 0.10.32 and having run npm-update prior to this.

I'm having an issue as the first post where unless I manually install these submodules or put them in package.json, imagemin will not work properly. I thought they're supposed to pull down when you install the plugin because of this line on the README: Comes bundled with the following optimizers:. Is this assumption wrong?

You probably have to run npm cache clean.

I am getting the same error. It was working last week but suddenly broke so I assume this might be an issue with the remote dependencies? If I remove the node module and re-run npm install, I get a few warnings:

npm WARN optional dep failed, continuing imagemin-optipng@1.0.0
npm WARN optional dep failed, continuing imagemin-jpegtran@1.0.0
npm WARN optional dep failed, continuing imagemin-gifsicle@1.0.0
npm WARN optional dep failed, continuing imagemin-pngquant@1.0.2

It says these are just warnings and that the dependencies are "optional" for the imagemin task, but my entire Grunt process is breaking without them.

I guess I might just need to remove the imagemin task from my build process until this is fixed. Anyone else have any luck fixing this?

@trevordmiller

As @Saturn2888 mentioned, adding the dependencies manually in the package.json works:

        "imagemin-gifsicle": "^2.0.0",
        "imagemin-jpegtran": "^2.0.0",
        "imagemin-optipng": "^2.0.1",
        "imagemin-svgo": "^2.0.0",

You will need to re-run npm install after updating your package.json.

No luck @trevordmiller. Trying to deploy to Heroku and breaking for the same reason. Will try your fix.

@Sawtaytoes

You might need to also add pngquant to the list.

What's the error you're getting @albertpeiro?

I've tried downgrading node + npm, downgrading imagemin.., read all other issues about the same thing (so many!). I've just ended up disabling imagemin for now.

And you tried doing npm install imagemin-gifsicle --save-dev?

Yes I have tried this too. My heroku buildpack is node 0.10.32, npm 1.4.24.
I've added as well npm cache cleaning prior to installation and npm -v to
check this things well.

Breaking here as well on version 0.8.1 on a Vagrant box, Ubuntu Trusty 64. I'm trying if installing the remote dependencies through my package.json file works.

Update1:
That didn't help at all. Still getting the following error.

Error: Cannot find module 'imagemin-jpegtran'

Sorry I didn't get back, I got it fixed by downgrading to node version 0.10.26, new versions had some conflicting thingy on windows.

Looks like this problem might be related to path depth. I guess it is creating a directory under directory and cannot save the file then after the max limit.

This should be fixed. It was caused by a nested dependency using git remotes which made npm freak out.

Had the same issue. Didn't want to add dependencies to root package.json. What helped for me is to go to .\node_modules\grunt-contrib-imagemin\node_modules\imagemin\ and run npm install inside it. Magic.

I had same issue. It is solved when "grunt-contrib-imagemin" version is changed as below. (in the root package.json)
"grunt-contrib-imagemin": "^0.9.2"
