[Bug]: ImageMagick - UnableToOpenConfigureFile When Attempting To Read SVG File

[T-Spoon]

Operating system version

macOS Monterey 12.5.1 (21G83)

System architecture

ARM64 (M1, M2, etc)

Herd Version

1.0.8 (Build: 10)

PHP Version

PHP 8.2.8 (cli) (built: Jul 28 2023 13:55:05) (NTS)

Bug description

Attempting to use ImageMagick with SVG support and the following error is encountered:

UnableToOpenConfigureFile `delegates.xml' @ warning/configure.c/GetConfigureOptions/722

The locally installed version of ImageMagick is 7.1.1-10, and I've also added an alias for 7.1.1-14 to point to my 7.1.1-10 install, as I can see that the bundled version with herd is 7.1.1-14.

Is there some way of configuring Herd's ImageMagick params? Since AFAIU all the extensions are compiled in the Herd php binary - I'm not sure how to go about debugging this issue.

Steps to reproduce

$image = new Imagick();
$svg = file_get_contents("image.svg");
$image->readImageBlob($svg);

Relevant log output

UnableToOpenConfigureFile `delegates.xml' @ warning/configure.c/GetConfigureOptions/722

ddi you have any luck getting this resolved? I got the same error in the latest herd as well

On top of this, I need to add HEIC and AVIF support as well. Excited to Herd to mature to make these type of things easier.

I wanted to use Herd as well but I can't because the project I work in needs this ImageMagick feature. Have yet to find a solution for it. In the meantime I'm stuck with Valet.

Same issue here. Any ideas on how to solve this issue?

Why is this in discussions?

Hey folks. I'm also running into this issue. I'm noticing it on both PHP 8.1, 8.2 and 8.3. This seems like an issue with Herd so I also wonder why the issue got converted to a discussion. Nice job with Herd, but wouldn't it be more helpful for folks to see at a glance which limitations there still are with the software?

If someone knows a workaround I'd be happy to learn.

Best!

The problem may be that Herd's static php builder has not enabled --with-xml for the imagemagick library. I have fixed this problem within the past two months, but the official Herd builder may not have applied this update.

Thanks for your comment. Much appreciated. I see. So if they were to update the builder and recompile the binaries to include the xml-files, the delegates.xml file would be present.

I've been trying to install imagick with pecl manually and linking to it from the herd php.ini file, but it seems I can't overwrite extensions.
