Fails with error write EPIPE on local file about asciicast2gif HOT 17 CLOSED

I encountered this same error today. It occurred when I tried to convert the same file locally or over HTTP.

Same error experienced

Same with node v17+. Error also occurs with remote conversion attempts

i dont have the issue

Make-sure there is ONLY ONE install of nodejs on local environment - reinstall.. try again

npm i asciicast2gif -g

from asciicast2gif.

I definitely only have 1 global on path. What did work for me was following the docker instructions.

make sure 'gifsicle' is installed, too

I got the same issue :((

Okay... well, then i have to say, without certainty, that its a file pdrmission issue. The user cant create/write file (or disk/partirion full) thus, the pipe fails.

How long does it take before it crashes after the output process status?

Why did you do this? That looks like an extra step that has no real good use and which can create some issues in some specific cases.
~cp /tmp/tmpbmwoim06-ascii.cast .

btw, as everything is a file under linux, it also include potential issues at creating folders or accessing them (i dont remember if the temporary png files get dumped to a folder while converting)

as i said before, i dont get this problem using same versions, on now 3 different sysrems. I can see potential for filesystem/permission issues and without more environment details... it doesnt seem to be software related is what i mean.

I tried running everything with root permission but still got this issue

With all of my respect for the writers of this software, you should never have to run it as root. Just use the docker image if you have the stomach for it

I have no stake in this program and am not part of its develop team but this issue bugw me. It would be nice to have more infos on your environment so at least the issue could be reproducible. It would greatly help in determining the cause...

whish you get it sorted...

Hey! I just published a successor to this tool: https://github.com/asciinema/agg - please try it instead. There will be no more work on asciicast2gif from me.
