TypeError: $svg.contents is not a function about gulp-svgstore HOT 19 CLOSED

I had the same problem and I noticed there is a dependence to cheerio. After checking the installed cheerio I noticed only cheerio-select was installed. Since the error was about a missing method (the contents()) I decided to install cheerio (npm install cheerio) and the error was solved.

npm: 3.10.10
node: v6.10.1
gulp-svgstore: 6.1.0

from gulp-svgstore.

Have same problem.
NodeJS: 5.10.0
NPM: 3.8.5
gulp-svgstore: 6.0.0

This error happens even if you use simple:
gulp.task('svgstore', function () {
return gulp
.src('app/assets/svg/*.svg')
.pipe($.svgstore())
.pipe(gulp.dest('out'));
});

I'm fixing it when I remove node_modules folder and all package.json dependencies, and then install it one by one again. Didn't know why it works.

from gulp-svgstore.

Same problem.
NodeJS: 5.7.1
NPM: 3.10.8
gulp-svgstore: 6.1.0

I fixed it by deleting node_modules as @namerci suggested.

I have the same problem =(

@michaelpumo thanks for the report, I will check it this week.

from gulp-svgstore.

@michaelpumo @nayarahilton I've tried it with the 5.6.0 node and it worked, can you please set up a minimal test case that reproduces the issue?

from gulp-svgstore.

@michaelpumo @nayarahilton is this still an issue for you or may I close this as "can't reproduce"?

from gulp-svgstore.

This still is an issue for me, I'm using 5.7.0 node =/

from gulp-svgstore.

@nayarahilton this is not enough info for me, as I have mentioned earlier, if you need help, please set up a test case that triggers the error.

from gulp-svgstore.

sorry, I'm new here and my problem is similar to him, that's why I do not set up a test case

task:

gulp.task('sprite', function () {
    return gulp
        .src('./icons/*.svg')
        .pipe(svgmin(function (file) {
            var prefix = path.basename(file.relative, path.extname(file.relative));
            return {
                plugins: [{
                    cleanupIDs: {
                        prefix: prefix + '-',
                        minify: true
                    }
                }]  
            }
        }))
        .pipe(svgstore())        
        .pipe(gulp.dest('./img/'));
});

error:

sorry again

from gulp-svgstore.

@nayarahilton but he doesn't set up the test case either. Sorry for confusion, by "the test case" I mean the whole project on github or in a zip archive, that reproduces the issue.

from gulp-svgstore.

Closing as can't reproduce.

Will reopen this issue if somebody uploads a test project that fails with this error.

from gulp-svgstore.

I'll try and get an isolated test case over in the next few days. Apologies for the delay.

from gulp-svgstore.

@michaelpumo and @nayarahilton, I tried your tasks with the exact versions and it worked for me, maybe the problem is in the svg files that you're bundling. Maybe try to remove all svg files and then keep adding them one by one until it breaks.

from gulp-svgstore.

@w0rm I thought perhaps the same, but I tried eliminating each one by one. No success. I'll get an example to you as soon as I can. Should I place this in a repo? Thanks!

from gulp-svgstore.

@michaelpumo any way will work, you can even try to attach a zip file here or email it to [email protected]

from gulp-svgstore.

I'm experiencing this same issue. I've emailed [email protected] with a .zip file of the project.

from gulp-svgstore.

thnx, ramaralo! it's work!

from gulp-svgstore.

Hi @ramaralo,

I would like to say very big THANKS to you. Your comment has helped me to save a lot of hours of googling to try to figure out what's going on.

Cheers ;)
