Error: write EPIPE about gulp-image

[bertalanimre]

Also waiting for an aswer. This is frustrating.

I encountered this issue on Debian Stretch (9), while it was working on Jessie and Wheezy.
You have to manually update the bin until there's another solution.

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install jpegoptim
make sure you rename the jpegoptim in your node_modules folder to jpegoptim.bak or something, so you can go back if you want. You can also remove it, of course.
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/jpegoptim /your/node_modules/jpegoptim-bin/vendor/jpegoptim

For the record, on MacOS:

brew install libjpeg
npm install --global jpegoptim-bin

Even i am facing the same issue. Looking for some help.

[tammyhart]

also getting the same error unless I specify extensions in which case, it only processes .png

I'm getting the same as well:

events.js:160
throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event
^

I cannot reproduce this issue, let me isolate the problem (which envs or settings).
Does anyone upload settings and images that reproduce this?

[baacke]

I get the same error unless I remove jpg from the glob or set mozjpeg to false. I haven't specified any other settings.

Also, the only other thing potentially worth noting about the 1 jpg I have is that now when it runs it says it Cannot improve upon XX.XX KB.

I'm having the same issue:

In my gulpfile I have:

gulp.task('image', function () {
  gulp.src('assets/*')
    .pipe(image())
    .pipe(gulp.dest('dist/assets'));
});

The error during the installation is:

[dkouvdis]

Temp solution, disable those below.
mozjpeg: false
jpegoptim: false

[kamilczujowski]

any "final" solution?

[michaelpumo]

I'd also like to see a solution to this if possible. Any ideas? JPG optimisation would be great to have.

Would you try re-installing jpegoptim-bin? #22 (comment)
