Hi guys!
I’ve been trying to get netlify large media to work with https://quizzical-mclean-56d5c1.netlify.app in the last 2 days, and tried every possible combination that has been mentioned in other support threads, sadly to no avail.
I was able to complete the following:
- enable netlify large media in my local repo (on macbook and with iterm/zsh) as stated in the docs: Large Media setup | Netlify Docs
- I also did the part with the migration, because the repository already contained most of the full-size images, which needed to be converted to use the large media feature
locally, things are looking ok - when I run netlify lm:install
it shows:
✔ Checking Git version [2.26.0]
✔ Checking Git LFS version [2.13.2]
✔ Checking Git LFS filters
✔ Installing Netlify's Git Credential Helper for Mac OS X
✔ Configuring Git to use Netlify's Git Credential Helper
and git lfs track
shows:
static/*.jpg (.gitattributes)
static/*.png (.gitattributes)
and git lfs ls-files
lists all the images contained in the repository correctly.
but, upon pushing (also with git push --force-with-lease
) the images do not get added to large media, also the large media tab on the netlify account stays inactive, not showing anything than the default text.
now, when I do add a new picture locally to the repository, and commit and push it, the build on netlify is failing with the error (9fe1e45): Smudge error: Error downloading
…but the files are all actually accessible on the repository and do say “Stored with Git LFS” on github, so I guess they are just pointers by now?
I hope this information is complete enough to get this further – I also noticed that when pushing commits via GUI (tower app) it shows an error message git: 'credential-netlify' is not a git command
although when pushing via console/iterm, this error does not show. and I am connected to netlify CLI locally.
PS. the current website is connected to forestry.io CMS – forestry also does have an option to connect to netlify large media feature Storing Uploads With Netlify Large Media | Forestry.io but I have not activated this yet, as I’m trying to get it working manually first within the repository and as the large media tab/feature needs to be activated on netlify first for it to actually work. hope that is making sense this way (:
thanks for your help,
Nico
