This appears to have been an issue in March and then it just went away. It is back now: http://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/issues/detail?id=4775
Is anyone else having an issue where large (> 4MB) images inconsistently fail to transform using the images API? My snipped of code (which has been working perfectly with images up to 20MB before last week) is; def loadImage(image_data=None, blob_key=None): image = images.Image(image_data=image_data, blob_key=blob_key) image.rotate(degrees=90) image = images.Image(image_data=image.execute_transforms(output_encoding=images.JPEG)) return image I always call this function using a blob_key and the part that is throwing the exception is the "image.execute_transforms()" function. It does not seem to matter whether I give it a JPG or a PNG. The traceback: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/base/data/home/apps/s~mediacooler-app/1-28.350162602241030413/ article/upload.py", line 39, in post img = article.funcs.loadImage(blob_key=str(blob_info.key())) File "/base/data/home/apps/s~mediacooler-app/1-28.350162602241030413/ article/funcs.py", line 213, in loadImage image = images.Image(image_data=image.execute_transforms(output_encoding=images.JPEG)) File "/base/python_runtime/python_lib/versions/1/google/appengine/ api/images/__init__.py", line 673, in execute_transforms raise TransformationError() TransformationError According to the images API code in the SDK execute_transforms raises a "TransformtionError when something errors during image manipulation." In the code this happens only when the images service returns an ImagesServiceError.UNSPECIFIED_ERROR. It is really disturbing to have a piece of code be rock solid for months (under load) and then start throwing exceptions out of the blue. Real customers are using my service so this is a critical issue for me. - Bryce -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
