Duplicate of #108. It's an issue with jpegtran's latest version.

argentinaluiz · 2013-11-08T17:18:00Z

Me too.

GEMI · 2013-11-09T09:31:19Z

Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit, same problem. jpegtran-bin -> "building is not supported". How do I solve this? I tried copying files manually but it didn't work, I just got an error saying that the folder is not empty :)

youcandanch · 2013-11-09T21:35:22Z

@GEMI, in your application's package.json, add "jpegtran-bin": "0.2.0" before the reference for imagemin, and blow away your node_module folder locally. Then run npm install again.

meelan · 2013-11-09T23:05:56Z

Awesome that worked, thanks @alexdancho ,,, im running windows 7 64 bit btw

jricaldi · 2013-11-10T07:53:37Z

@alexdancho yes its works, thanks so much, I think the new version of jpegtran-bin has problems

gijagu · 2013-11-12T23:51:51Z

It doesn´t work, I have added "jpegtran-bin": "0.2.0" to package.json. please somebody can help me

abiyasa · 2013-11-14T06:46:56Z

@gijagu I use Windows 7 64 bit and here's my workaround:

You don't have to add "jpegtran-bin": "0.2.0" to package.json
Remove node_modules folder if necessary
Do npm install [email protected]
Do npm install

It worked for me.

dduehr · 2013-11-15T20:43:52Z

@alexdancho: Worked perfectly on Windows 8.1 64-Bit, thanks!!!

youcandanch · 2013-11-20T13:11:15Z

So it should be fixed now with imagemin/jpegtran-bin#38. I'm testing on our CI server now.

gijagu · 2013-11-27T00:02:08Z

It does not work.

I use Windows 8 32bits

Guuz · 2013-11-27T13:26:19Z

I get the same error as @gijagu.

stefanbuck · 2013-12-02T16:18:56Z

The bug is fixed but there isn't a new version available in the npm registry see

fabiobiondi · 2013-12-17T00:40:31Z

Thanx to abiyasa for the advice.

On Windows 8.1 64 bit I have to use

npm install [email protected] <-- OK

while adding it to the package.json doesn't work :(

.... (package.json) ...

"jpegtran-bin": "~0.2.0", <-- ERROR
"grunt-contrib-imagemin": "~0.4.0",

npm install sometimes freezes when installing imagemin for windows users. Using older version of jpegtran fixes this. gruntjs/grunt-contrib-imagemin#109

chrislachance · 2013-12-23T18:01:08Z

I just had the same issue as @gijagu because I had "jpegtran-bin": "~0.2.0"
Once I changed it to "jpegtran-bin": "0.2.0", it worked fine.

brunomarcel · 2014-01-16T18:03:42Z

i had this error "libjpeg-62.dll pre-build test failed", i used this command
"npm install [email protected]" after "npm install gulp-imagemin" it worked fine for me in Windows8 64 bit.

Yankovsky · 2014-03-22T06:07:48Z

I face this problem with latest version of imagemin. Not only jpegtran-bin package, but gifsicle and optipng-bin are fail to install correctly. I solved problem by specifying old package versions in pacakge.json:
"optipng-bin": "0.3.1",
"jpegtran-bin": "0.2.3",
"gifsicle": "0.1.4"
These are the latest packages versions without "building is not supported on win32" problem.
Windows 8x64

lhwparis · 2014-03-22T08:13:16Z

this is not fixed. why isnt it reopend?
i can confirm the same issue with windows 8.1 x64

kevva · 2014-03-22T10:59:17Z

@lhwparis, which version?

xphong · 2014-03-22T15:23:30Z

Had the "building is not supported on win32" issue on jpegtran gifsicle optipng.

I fixed it by using @abiyasa and @Yankovsky solutions.
Adding the dependencies didn't work for me so I did:
npm install [email protected]
npm install [email protected]
npm install [email protected]

Using Windows 7 x32

lhwparis · 2014-03-23T12:09:51Z

0.4.1 and 0.5 i have tested it now with 0.6-pre too. still the same issues:
"building is not supported on win32" issue on jpegtran gifsicle optipng.
on windows8.1 x64
this is not resolved!

vladikoff · 2014-03-23T15:45:41Z

Try version 0.6.0-pre by installing it from GitHub via npm install gruntjs/grunt-contrib-imagemin
Please report any errors you get with a full error log, operating system, version of Node.JS.

Once we are sure 0.6.0-pre works well, we are going to publish it.

vladikoff · 2014-03-23T15:47:20Z

@lhwparis while you get ""building is not supported on win32"", does the plugin work?

@kevva I ran the tests on Windows even with ""building is not supported on win32"", should we just hide the error?

simon-lifelike · 2014-03-24T12:02:42Z

Still doesn't work with 0.6.0-pre on Windows 8.1 x64

@kevva I think we really need to remove those "building is not supported on win32" warnings, or at least say they are optional? We will be getting too many false positives. Thoughts?

@vladikoff with imagemin 0.5.0 and latest version of png,jpeg,gif packages I get "TypeError: Cannot read property 'diffSizeRaw' of undefined"

kevva · 2014-03-26T10:02:19Z

@vladikoff, the building is not supported thing should not show. It something wrong with the spawning. Maybe it needs to be ran with cmd /c on Windows like we do here https://github.com/yeoman/generator/blob/master/lib/actions/spawn_command.js. Have no access to Windows so I'm unable to test.

Possible fix: https://github.com/kevva/bin-check/blob/win32/index.js#L4.

kevva · 2014-03-26T14:43:14Z

Fixed now.

antgonzales · 2014-04-02T23:56:14Z

I think this issue should be re-opened. I'm having this problem on my Windows machine 32x.

Here is what I did:

Added package.json dependencies
Deleted the .node_modules folder
npm install [email protected]
npm install [email protected]
npm install [email protected]
npm install

Still getting error message "Warning: Cannot call method 'replace' of undefined Use".

dbxt · 2014-04-05T06:06:12Z

I've run into the same issues on Linux Mint 64bit. Following the steps in @antgonzales post is the only way it's worked consistently.

faisalferoz · 2014-05-06T11:59:24Z

I had the same issue on ubuntu 12.04 32-bit/64-bit. Following the steps in @antgonzales post works consistently.

nareshbhatia · 2014-05-06T16:58:05Z

I am able to reproduce the issue reported by @antgonzales by following the steps he has listed. I am on a Windows 7 64bit machine. Can someone please reopen this issue? It is real!

As a workaround, I am using grunt --force. When done, I have to manually copy my images folder to the dist folder.

curtbrown · 2014-05-07T14:29:03Z

I was also seeing, "Warning: Cannot call method 'replace' of undefined". Using the workaround described by @abiyasa resolved the issue for me.

Windows 7 Enterprise x64
Node 0.10.26
Grunt 0.4.4

nareshbhatia · 2014-05-07T15:19:27Z

@abiyasa's workaround is not working for me. I get:

Warning: Running "imagemin:dist" (imagemin) task
Warning: Cannot call method 'replace' of undefined Use --force to continue.

I have the same issue on Window.
"Warning: Cannot call method 'replace' of undefined Use --force to continue."

Is it possible to reopen this issue ?

I do have the same message: "Warning: Cannot call method 'replace' of undefined"

Same problem here "Warning: Cannot call method 'replace' of undefined" on Windows 8.
The culprit seems to be PNG files

This is now fixed by bumping up the version of imagemin to 0.7 (see yeoman/generator-webapp#371). As far as I can tell, this issue can be closed.

Experiencing what appears to be the same issue on WIndows 10 on one machine, but not another, where both machines have had mostly identical setups; nvm, a handful of global installed packages like grunt-cli and jshint. I checked the working npm install (https://github.com/tastejs/todomvc/ clone) and the package.json contains: "gulp-imagemin": "1.0.0",.

In this gist you can see the console output for the failed Windows 10 npm install: https://gist.github.com/davewallace/3bef739c5a4957b087db28a0c3bd00b4

When I search for imagemin in that output, I see different version numbers for things, not sure if that relates to some comments above about increasing version numbers:

+-- [email protected]
...
| +-- [email protected]

On both Windows 10 boxes I have cloned and run npm install on the same todomvc repo mentioned above.

@kevva In a reduced test case, I just ran npm install [email protected], npm install [email protected] , npm install [email protected] and npm install [email protected] (with elevated privileges) in an empty directory, and all of them generated the same flavour of error:

    throw new TypeError('Path must be a string. Received ' + inspect(path));
    ^

This issue is definitely still alive and rebelling.

@davewallace ,Yes this isse is still alive ,Any suggestion most welcome

jorrit · 2017-07-24T14:50:25Z

Why aren't you running npm install grunt-contrib-imagemin?

hem-kant · 2017-07-24T15:08:50Z

@jorrit npm install [email protected]
