no decode delegate for this image format `' @ error/constitute.c/ReadImage/501.

[mchun]

Thanks for creating this repo.
But I wonder if any delegate of imagemagick has to be installed?
I encountered the caption error when executing setData.

Parse.Cloud.httpRequest({ url: url }).then(function(response) {
    // Create an Image from the data.
    var image = new Image();
    return image.setData(response.buffer);
);

@mchun what platform/system are you running on?

[mchun]

mac osx 10.10.5
when I do "convert -list configure"
It contains the following, I have no idea what went wrong and currently using jimp instead.
DELEGATES bzlib mpeg freetype jng jpeg lzma png tiff webp xml zlib

I'm on 10.11.3 and that works like a breeze, on travis the tests passes too.. that's really odd. Seems a mis installation of the couple gm/imagemagick

This is encoding problem. Parse.Cloud.httpRequest is using request.

encoding - Encoding to be used on setEncoding of response data. If null, the body is returned as a Buffer. Anything else (including the default value of undefined) will be passed as the encoding parameter to toString() (meaning this is effectively utf8 by default). (Note: if you expect binary data, you should set encoding: null.)

Set encoding to null can solve the problem for me.

Parse.Cloud.httpRequest({ url: url, encoding: null}).then(function(response) {
    // Create an Image from the data.
    var image = new Image();
    return image.setData(response.buffer);
);

Good catch! Do you have time for a Pr?

[carmenlau]

Saw your PR in parse-server for this issues. Thanks a lot and appreciate for your work!

Hi @flovilmart, Thanks for doing this. I am getting the same error too when trying to download an image from a url using httpRequest. I even tried using encoding = null but still doesn't work. Can you please let me know how I should work around this error.

[flovilmart]

can you try without using Parse.Cloud.httpRequest but a simple http request manager and see if it works passing the response buffer to ParseImage

[mcclaskiem]

Ive tried two different request clients here and am still getting the same error. Is this something that is occuring across all file adapters or could it be provider specific?

[flovilmart]

I'm not sure. where is it deployed? heroku?

[mcclaskiem]

Im running it locally on 10.10.5

[flovilmart]

uhm, never had that issue on mac...

[mcclaskiem]

both graphmagick and imagemagick are installed via homebrew, is there something I can check to confirm with confirm -list configure

[flovilmart]

Can you try cloning the repo and run the tests? With npm run tests?

[mcclaskiem]

Got 8 passing here, must be something with the response that I am passing.

[flovilmart]

yup that's most likely, make sure that's a proper buffer with an image in it :)

[mcclaskiem]

Where do you suggest posting to verify a FileAdapter? I have one written for RackSpace but would like to make sure its conformant to parse-server

[flovilmart]

try locally with your code to save the buffer as a file.
