7.0.0 errors with EPIPE

[danez]

We receive this error after updating to 7.0.0 on our ci server (Ubuntu 16)

Warning: Error: write EPIPE in file x.jpg

After downgrading to 6.0.0 it works again. It also works with newer version on macOS

installed packages:

├─ grunt-contrib-imagemin@2.0.1
├─ imagemin-gifsicle@5.2.0
├─ imagemin-jpegtran@5.0.2
├─ imagemin-mozjpeg@7.0.0
├─ imagemin-optipng@5.2.1
├─ imagemin-pngcrush@5.1.0
├─ imagemin-svgo@5.2.4
├─ imagemin@5.3.1
├─ mozjpeg@5.0.0

I guess it might be because of #16 which made it into 7.0.0 although it was reverted in #17, but the revert seems it was force pushed away or somehow else removed from history. Was that on purpose?

This is the image:

have the same issue

[soptimizer]

sama issue

same issue

[adenvt]

i not very sure, but fix after sudo apt-get install libpng16-dev

[kirylrb]

@adenvt Dziakui, advent.

[flexdinesh]

For anyone who's trying to get this to work in Travis build,

sudo apt-get install libpng16-dev won't work as travis containers have a whitelist of packages - ubuntu-trusty whitelist

libpng16-dev is not in the whitelist yet and I have created a new whitelist request for libpng16-dev - libpng16-dev whitelist request. So until it is whitelisted we won't be able to get it work work in trusty containers.

As an alternative, I switched to osx environment temporarily to get this to work. Add this line to you travis.yml file

os: osx

And everything will work like a charm! 🎉

I have the same issues, when running this from a GitLab CI runner. My buildchain uses the official Docker node (node:6 and node:8) and both give the Error: write EPIPE.

Tried
Installing libpng16-dev with sudo apt-get install libpng16-dev doesn't work, since the Node Docker containers are based on Debian.

Also installing nasm doesn't work.

Workaround
When I exclude the plugins: [imageminMozjpeg({ quality: 75 })], it works.
When I downgrade to "imagemin-mozjpeg": "~6.0.0", it works.

Note: I'm running this in a Sage project.

Possibly related: #26

I have the same issue but I just found a new solution.

imagemin-mozjpeg/package.json

Line 46 in 005b789

"mozjpeg": "^5.0.0"

Just upgrade mozjpeg to the latest 6.0.0 version.

If you use yarn instead of npm , you can add the following code to your project's package.json to temporarily resolve this issue:

"resolutions": {
    "imagemin-mozjpeg/mozjpeg": "^6.0.0"
}

I hope the author will update as soon as possible.

[usamamashkoor]

same issue.

[yesworld]

have the same issue :(

[john-codeworx]

same issue, downgrading to ^6.0.0 fixed it.

[hua1995116]

I use npm i it break when download imagemin-mozjpeg .

/node_modules/mozjpeg/vendor/cjpeg` binary doesn't seem to work correctly
  ⚠ mozjpeg pre-build test failed
  ℹ compiling from source

But i use npm i imagemin-mozjpeg@6.0.0 it fixed.

[gbiryukov]

looks like this issue is solved in 8.0.0

[kernel72]

Nope. Experiencing the same issue for some jpg files in 8.0.0. After downgrade to 6.0.0 issue has gone.

[quinncomendant]

I have the same issue, and fixed it by downgrading to 6.0.0. I tried to install libpng16-dev, but it is not available on CentOS 7.

/node_modules/mozjpeg/vendor/cjpeg` binary doesn't seem to work correctly
  ⚠ mozjpeg pre-build test failed
  ℹ compiling from source

@hua1995116, I had this error, it was solved by yum install libpng12-devel.

[Sdcrow]

For those using the gulp version gulp-imagemin I faced this issue running "gulp-imagemin": "2.4.0" and I resolved it with the following steps

npm cache clean -f
npm install

I hope this helps someone

After hours of research and experimenting with different settings, I managed to resolve mozjpeg errors when using Linux/Docker. The issue is particularly when using alpine image.

My updated Dockerfile:

FROM node:12-buster-slim

RUN npm i npm@latest -g

WORKDIR /usr/src

COPY ./app/package*.json ./

RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y --no-install-recommends \
    autoconf \
    automake \
    g++ \
    libpng-dev \
    make\
    nasm \
    -y wget \
    && wget -q -O /tmp/libpng12.deb http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/main/libp/libpng/libpng12-0_1.2.54-1ubuntu1_amd64.deb \
    && dpkg -i /tmp/libpng12.deb \
    && rm /tmp/libpng12.deb \
    && npm install --no-optional && npm cache clean --force \
    npm install -g gulp \
    && npm install gulp

ENV PATH /usr/src/node_modules/.bin/:$PATH

WORKDIR /usr/src/app

COPY . .

These settings might save you hours of frustration. BTW Node's alpine image is NOT recommended because of long build time, even though it's small image size.

Happy coding!
