Error when reading the EXIF of the image

support

Hello everyone,

I am in the process of building an image gallery from JPGs and try to read some Exif tags to put them in the HTML.
This image gallery is set in a shortcode and when I try to read the Exif, Hugo raise an error “executing “shortcodes/gallery.html” at <.Exif>: error calling Exif: unexpected end of JSON input”.

What’s bother me, is that I use the same code to reads Exif in an other shortcode and it’s work pretty well with the sames images.

The full code of the gallery shortcode :

{{- $folderPath := printf "%s/*" (.Get "folder") }}
{{- $originalPage := .Site.GetPage "page" .Page.Path }}
{{- $originalImages := $originalPage.Resources.Match $folderPath }}
<div style='clear:both'></div>
<div id="psgal_7_1" class="psgal gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/ImageGallery">
{{- range ($originalImages) }}
{{- $thumbnail := .Resize "320x" }}
{{ printf "%s" .Exif.Tags.Make }}      
  <figure itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/ImageObject" class="msnry_item">
    {{- $mediumw := default "1200x" }}
    {{- $medium := (.Resize $mediumw) }}
    <a href="{{ $medium.RelPermalink | absURL }}" itemprop="contentUrl" data-size="{{ $medium.Width }}x{{ $medium.Height }}" data-caption="" >
      <img src="{{ $thumbnail.Permalink }}" itemprop="thumbnail" alt="" />
    </a>
  <figcaption class="photoswipe-gallery-caption" itemprop="caption description"><span itemprop="copyrightHolder"></span>
  </figcaption>
  </figure>
{{- end }}
</div>

The code used in another shortcode, and this one work…

{{- $originalPage := $.Site.GetPage "page" $.Page.Path }}
{{- $originalImage := $originalPage.Resources.GetMatch $imagePath }}
{{ printf "%s" $originalImage.Exif.Tags.Make }}

I don’t know what’s wrong with this code…

Hey,

We ocache the Exif to disk, and in your situtation that has obviously gone wrong for some reason. We should improve the error handling here, but I would suggest that you delete resources/_gen/images and try again.

Thanks for your reply.

I try your solution and it’s work.
So now before starting hugo server I run hugo --gc to clean up.
