Error with SVG Input buffer on zeit/now platform

First of all, thanks for this great and useful module!

Description

This code essentially converts an svg String into Buffer to pass as input to sharp and then obtain its png output, works as expected.

Something like:

const src = `<svg>…</svg>`
const buff = Buffer.from(src)
sharp(buff).toBuffer().then(data => console.log(data))

Expected behaviour

Running it in my local machine works as expected:

Local machine is Max OS X El Capital (10.11.6)

Works well also in another computer Ubuntu 16.04.3.

Problem

I am trying to deploy a microservice that use at some point similar code of this reproduction, and love the simplicity of now, but when deploying it doesn’t work as expected. Returns:

Error: Input buffer contains unsupported image format

Repo

I created a repository with the simplest code I found break the functionality here: https://github.com/elrumordelaluz/sharp-test The endpoint deployed using now is https://sharp-test.now.sh/

Please, let me know if you think is a issue related on now platform or deployment process instead if sharp.

Thanks in advance and congrats for the great work!

The version of libvips on ZEIT Now includes SVG input support now. I believe this issue can be closed.

Thanks, this confirms that zeit/now provides a globally-installed libvips v8.5.8 that has been compiled without SVG support. You’ll need to take this one up with them, good luck!
