pngquant: Command Failed

See original GitHub issue

Hi, i’m trying to compress a PNG with the example settings you provided in the README file:

'image-webpack?{progressive:true, optimizationLevel: 7, interlaced: false, pngquant:{quality: "65-90", speed: 4}}'

However, when i run my build, i get this error:

ERROR in ./src/assets/images/highResHell.png
Module build failed: Error: Command failed: /home/elias/Projects/Javascript/idexdanmark/node_modules/pngquant-bin/vendor/pngquant --output /tmp/012c00ce-0e87-4c68-bfa8-185586e92037 /tmp/7add16f3-8bf9-4ad2-b370-ad97ce2b9856 --quality 65-90 --speed 4

I tried removing my node_modules folder and reinstalling my dependencies, but it had no effect.

npm install imagemin/imagemin-pngquant --save did it for me.

Optimizing large PNGs (1Mo) is very complicated: pngquant was crashing, and optipng is very slow with almost no difference in resulting image (quality or weight). Using roots/sage, optimizing a few PNGs took more than 200 seconds! Is it normal? What’s the point of using two different librairies for optimizing PNGs?
