How to fix `Error: spawn ./node_modules/jpegtran-bin/vendor/jpegtran ENOENT` error for imagemin

imagemin.md

If you're trying to run imagemin (from grunt or gulp or anything else) on Alpine, you certainly had to meet this error :

Error: spawn /YOUR_PROJECT_PATH/node_modules/jpegtran-bin/vendor/jpegtran ENOENT or the same with optipng or gifsicle instead of jpegtran.

Here's how to solve it.

First you need to install on Alpine missing package used to compile jpegtran, gifsicle and optipng binaries. Those packages are (at least):

autoconf automake file build-base nasm musl libpng-dev zlib-dev

Now, rebuild your container.

And then, remove your node_module directory, and run npm install or yarn command.

Enjoy 🎉

Note: this workaround works like a charm for me, please comment here if your meet other issues ;)

Hi,

I solved the issue with the command below:
npm rebuild jpegtran-bin

thanks..!!
it's works

Thanks, worked for me too using the yarn equivalent:

yarn add --force jpegtran-bin

@jnaklaas that really helped me. Got stuck running yarn build:production for my Sage setup. Regular dev build worked but production build choked spitting out

$ webpack --env.production --progress --config resources/assets/build/webpack.config.js

Your yarn add --force jpegtran-bin did the trick. New package-lock.json generation is still wise though:

warning package-lock.json found. Your project contains lock files generated by tools other than Yarn. It is advised not to mix package managers in order to avoid resolution inconsistencies caused by unsynchronized lock files. To clear this warning, remove package-lock.json.

Hmm never mind. That was related to using two ore more tools for package management. My bad.

Added

autoconf automake file build-base nasm musl libpng-dev zlib-dev

and it worked!

npm rebuild jpegtran-bin
