Question

We are running are PHPUnit test in our Gitlab-CI. Every now and then some test are failing because of an exception:

Spatie\Image\Exceptions\CouldNotLoadImage: Could not load image at path `/builds/api/storage/media-library/temp/u9hn06FL7CIz4gDf3PClKfiCsP6CCNEn/eKb9zA0BzpXjZg1CDSityXjDUcewN0yfthumb-xs.jpeg`

It is always a different test-case which is failing and sometimes no test-case fails and our Pipeline succeeds. So it is not a reproducable error. Also when running the tests locally no error occurs.

We are using Minio both locally and in CI as our Laravel disk.

Media-Library-Version: v11.4.7

My guess is that when copying the file from S3/Minio to the local temp folder fails. But I cannot verify this, because the package does not check the success of copying these files...

Answer 1

I had the same issue and it appeared that my php didn't support webp format. After enabling webp in php gd this problem disappeared.

Try to debug your path like this:

$path = 'your_path';
$handle = fopen($path, 'r');
$contents = fread($handle, filesize($path));
fclose($handle);

// in most cases exception will be trown here 
// but in original code this line is suppressed with @ 
$image = imagecreatefromstring($contents);

Answer 2

I would suggest trying imagick as the image driver to see if that changes anything.

You would have to enable imagick PHP extension. In .env you can specify the IMAGE_DRIVER, also take a look at media-library.image_driver.

I managed to get my media-library working with this change.

Edit: I got my Gd driver working by following this accepted answer. Call to undefined function Intervention\Image\Gd\imagecreatefromjpeg() Laravel 8 + Docker desktop 4.4.4

I was missing some of the Gd lib dependencies.
