Enable overwriting input file

sharp('file.jpg').resize(100, 100).write('file.jpg', function(err) {
    console.log(err)l;
});

Gives:

VipsJpeg: Empty input file
vips__region_start: start function failed for image temp-1
VipsRegion: valid clipped to nothing
VipsRegion: valid clipped to nothing
VipsRegion: valid clipped to nothing

Any chance to implement file overwriting?

In case it helps anyone, I ended up using the following approach to resize my files before uploading them to S3. I didn’t want to end up with a new filename. It seems to be working 👍

const sharp = require("sharp");
sharp.cache(false);

async function resizeFile(path) {
  let buffer = await sharp(path)
    .resize(2000, 2000, {
      fit: sharp.fit.inside,
      withoutEnlargement: true,
    })
    .toBuffer();
  return sharp(buffer).toFile(path);
}

Sorry, writing buffer to the same file works:

sharp('file.jpg').resize(100, 100).toBuffer(function(err, buffer) {
    fs.writeFile('file.jpg', buffer, function(e) {

    });
});
