Fixed XF 2.1.7 - imPecl - Imagick resizing problem

2.1.7
I have a problem where the Imagick drivers fails to downscale an image. I have a feeling it has something to do with the foreach loop, but I have no idea why. The reason I made the foreach example is because XenForo does the same thing. After calling thumbnailimage the image returns false on isValid() / valid(). Do we need some sort of conditional on when to foreach and when not to? Because the Imagick object supports thumbnailimage without doing a foreach on its frames.

    die("PHP 5.6.0 or newer is required. $phpVersion does not meet this requirement. Please ask your host to upgrade PHP.");

    $frame->thumbnailImage(20, 20, false, true);
}

echo "XenForo ImageManager\n";
$image = $app->imageManager()->imageFromFile($file, 'imPecl');
echo 'Valid: ', ($image->isValid() ? 'true' : 'false'), "\n";
$image->resizeTo(20, 20);
echo 'Valid: ', ($image->isValid() ? 'true' : 'false'), "\n";

A snippet from my Dockerfile to reproduce:
Code:
FROM debian:stretch
RUN true \
&& apt-get update \
&& DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get install -y \
        imagemagick \
        php-fpm \
        php-cli \
        php-memcached \
        php-gd \
        php-imagick \
        php-xml \
        php-zip \
        php-mysql \
        php-curl \
        php-mbstring

This is the snippet of the XenForo code that causes problems for me:

File: XF\Image\Imagick.php
PHP:
    public function resizeTo($width, $height)
    {
        $scaleUp = ($width > $this->width || $height > $this->height);
        try
        {
            foreach ($this->imagick AS $frame)
            {
                if ($scaleUp)
                {
                    $frame->resizeImage($width, $height, \Imagick::FILTER_QUADRATIC, .5, true);
                }
                else if ($this->isOldImagick())
                {
                    $frame->thumbnailImage($width, $height, false);
                }
                else
                {
                    $frame->thumbnailImage($width, $height, false, true);
                }
                $frame->setImagePage($width, $height, 0, 0);
            }
            $this->updateDimensions();
        }
        catch (\Exception $e) {}
        return $this;
    }

I understand it could be a regression in ImageMagick or something, but I'd dearly want more skilled eyes on this.


EDIT. I just tested with a handful of other PNGs and get the same result.

EDIT. I am working to use the official PHP Docker images now as I can specify exactly which PHP version I want considering PHP 7.0 is actually out of support. I think this could be the fix. I will report back.

Update.

I am now on PHP 7.2 and XF 2.1.7 and getting the same wrong response.

I am on this Dockerfile:

Code:
FROM php:7.2-fpm-buster
RUN true \
    && apt-get update \
    && DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get install -y \
    # For the imagick extension
    imagemagick \
    libmagickwand-dev \
    # For the gd extension
    libpng-dev \
    # For running 32 bit binaries
    lib32z1 \
    # For composer fallback
    git \
    # For downloading composer
    curl \
    # For the xml extension
    libxml2-dev \
    # For the curl extension
    libzip-dev \
    libcurl4-gnutls-dev \
    # For the memcached extension
    libmemcached-dev zlib1g-dev \
    # Clean up
    && apt-get clean \
    && apt-get autoclean \
    && rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/* /tmp/* /var/tmp/*
RUN true \
    # gd extension
    && docker-php-ext-configure gd --with-freetype-dir=/usr/include/ --with-jpeg-dir=/usr/include/ \
    && docker-php-ext-install gd \
    # zip extension
    && docker-php-ext-install zip \
    # mysql extension
    && docker-php-ext-install mysqli \
    # imagick extension
    && pecl install imagick-3.4.4 \
    && docker-php-ext-enable imagick \
    # memcached extension
    && pecl install memcached-3.1.4 \
    && docker-php-ext-enable memcached

And downscaling with imagick is still broken.
 
Thank you for reporting this issue, it has now been resolved. We are aiming to include any changes that have been made in a future XF release (2.2.0 RC2).

Change log:
Fix false negative response to XF\Image\Imagick::isValid after an image action has been returned
There may be a delay before changes are rolled out to the XenForo Community.
 
I spent a while debugging this, but I think it's ultimately a false negative because after iterating the image, it looks like the current iterator must be false/invalid internally. The internal call within Imagick::valid then fails.

The fix is really just to put $this->imagick->setFirstIterator(); at the start of our isValid() method to ensure we reset this (which is exactly what the foreach does implicitly when it starts).
