minifying GIF - stdout maxBuffer exceeded

[thany]

When minifying a bunch of gifs from the command line, I get this error at some point:

MaxBufferError: stdout maxBuffer exceeded
    at PassThrough.<anonymous> (C:\Users\[snip]\get-stream\index.js:41:19)
    at PassThrough.emit (events.js:327:22)
    at addChunk (_stream_readable.js:295:12)
    at readableAddChunk (_stream_readable.js:271:9)
    at PassThrough.Readable.push (_stream_readable.js:212:10)
    at PassThrough.Transform.push (_stream_transform.js:152:32)
    at PassThrough.afterTransform (_stream_transform.js:96:10)
    at PassThrough._transform (_stream_passthrough.js:46:3)
    at PassThrough.Transform._read (_stream_transform.js:191:10)
    at PassThrough.Transform._write (_stream_transform.js:179:12)

What's also not great about this, is that all other gifsicle processes are nuked as well when this happens. It might be useful to know, the biggest gif in the collection I'm minifying, is about 33MB. I'm not sure if that's the one it fails on. I don't know which one is causing this crash.

I'm on Node.js 12.18 and imagemin-cli 6.0.0.

Edit: it appears to crash even on files that are less than 10MB

I too am having the same issue

I solved it this way.

YOUR_PROJECT/node_modules/imagemin-gifsicle/index.js

• Before

        const {stdout} = await execa(gifsicle, args, {
		encoding: null,
		input,
	});

• After

        const {stdout} = await execa(gifsicle, args, {
		encoding: null,
                maxBuffer: Number.POSITIVE_INFINITY,
		input,
	});

If you want to keep the changes, you can use patch-package.
