Describe the problem/error/question
Anytime I change another node (add/remove/re-arrange), the Edit Image (Resize) node breaks on run, rendering an error “Stream yields empty buffer”. The only way I can fix this is to fully remove the node and add it back.
Possible red herring but it’s frustrating regardless is when I test run the Edit Image node, it always seems to re-run upstream nodes even if the data is pinned. It seems more like a UI issue than an actual problem, but it could be related.
Note the expectation for the Edit Image (Resize) is to resize the image along the horizontal dimension, maintaining aspect ration, converting it from a png to jpeg @ 60% quality.
Note I have confirmed the docker container contains the graphicsmagick package.
What is the error message (if any)?
