Transform Process throws error (recursively?), filling up /tmp directory with failed imagick transforms.

[bryantwells]

Describe the bug

SEOmatic seems to be attempting to generate an image thumbnail from an entry that doesn't have one – resulting in a continuous stream of errors (multiple times per second).

To reproduce

1. entry type with thumbnail handle set to a matrix field type.
2. image source SEOmatic setting is custom image on all Content SEO and Global SEO pages.
3. image transform SEOmatic setting is off on all Content SEO and Global SEO pages.
4. loading page with entry type results in the following error (in both local and remote environments):

I wonder if this is related to an error I see as well.

[khalwat]

@philipboomy probably unrelated, that's just your VPS failing to be able to do a regular old image transform. Check your logs, it could be as simple as an image that's too large for Imagick to handle.

Formatted @bryantwells's error to be a little more readable. I think I know what's going on here.

[khalwat]

@bryantwells so it looks like somehow an Entry element is being passed in to a function in SEOmatic that's expecting either an Asset or an asset ID.

When you mention a thumbnail handle that's a Matrix field... is that somehow being set to the SEO image somewhere?

[khalwat]

I fixed the obvious error, but I'm still unclear on how it could make it down to that code path.

Give this a whirl and let me know the results, and also address my question above?

Craft CMS 3:

You can try it now by setting your semver in your composer.json to look like this:

    "nystudio107/craft-seomatic": "dev-develop as 3.5.4”,

Then do a composer clear-cache && composer update

[bryantwells]

That seems to have done the trick! Will update here if i find otherwise.

I wasn't sure how the Entry was being passed to SEOmatic, either. The thumbnail Matrix is being passed to SEOmatic even though I have explicitly set it to use a custom image.

I was wondering if there might be some logic in the plugin that checks for a thumbnail handle by default, regardless of the panel settings?

[khalwat]

Nope, it doesn't look for any hard-coded field handles. Very strange.

In any event, glad to hear it got sorted for you!
