What

imageByPath() in modules/Assets/Helper/Asset.php normalizes the mime option (e.g. image/jpeg, jpg, jpeg) and then reused that normalized value directly as $ext for the generated thumbnail filename/cache hash. When mime was jpeg, the output file (and cache key) ended in .jpeg instead of the conventional .jpg.

Why

Closes #160. Requester expects .jpg as the output extension when mime: 'jpeg' is passed to Asset::image(), matching the extension most tooling/browsers expect for JPEG files.

Fix

  • Separated the extension used for the generated filename/cache key from the mime type string used for the actual image/... mime type: $ext becomes jpg only when the normalized mime is jpeg; $mime still resolves to image/jpeg and is passed unchanged to Img::toString().
  • The base64 data URI branch previously built data:image/{$ext} — after this change that would have incorrectly produced data:image/jpg (not a registered mime subtype). Updated it to use the already-correct $mime value (falling back to image/{$ext} only when no mime override was requested), so the data URI mime type is unaffected by the extension fix.

Test plan

There is no existing test suite covering Asset::image()/imageByPath() in this repo (no tests/ directory), and php isn't available for me to bootstrap the full app locally, so I verified as follows:

  • php -l modules/Assets/Helper/Asset.php — no syntax errors (via php:8.3-cli Docker, matching the repo's required PHP version).
  • Extracted the exact normalization logic touched by this change into a standalone script and ran it under php:8.3-cli with assertions enabled, covering:
    • mime: 'jpeg'$ext is jpg, $mime is image/jpeg, cache filename ends in .jpg, data URI is data:image/jpeg;base64,...
    • mime: 'jpg' → same result (pre-existing jpg→jpeg mime normalization still holds)
    • mime: 'png' → unaffected ($ext stays png)
    • no mime override → unaffected ($ext passes through the file's original extension, $mime stays null)
  • All assertions passed.

I did not add a script/test file to the repo itself since there's no existing test scaffolding to plug into; happy to add one in the repo's own style if maintainers point me at a preferred location/runner.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved image format handling by consistently normalizing MIME types and extensions, including mapping JPEG formats to the .jpg extension.
    • Corrected cached image filenames and Base64 image responses to use the normalized MIME type, ensuring more accurate image metadata and output.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Image MIME values are now normalized before asset output and cache generation. JPEG uses the .jpg extension with image/jpeg. Base64 responses use the normalized MIME value or an extension-based fallback.

Independent review (cold-start, diff + full modules/Assets/Helper/Asset.php at 0a28096 read end-to-end against #160).

Blocking: the change does not actually fix the reported issue. The filename in the bug report is not produced by the $ext used on line 239 — it is produced earlier, in image():

// modules/Assets/Helper/Asset.php:91
$hash = $mime ? \md5(\json_encode($options))."_{$quality}_{$mode}.{$mime}" : null;

That $hash is threaded through imageByAsset() (L120/L123/L151) into imageByPath(), where L239 is:

$hash = $hash ?? \md5(\json_encode($options))."_{$quality}_{$mode}.{$ext}";

So the .{$ext} suffix is only ever used when $hash is null — i.e. only when no mime option was passed. In the exact scenario from #160 ('mime' => 'jpeg'), $hash is non-null and already ends in .jpeg, taken verbatim from the raw un-normalized option. The new $ext = ($mime === 'jpeg') ? 'jpg' : $mime; on L227 therefore never influences the output filename or the cache key for any request that sets mime; the generated file still lands at ..._100_thumbnail.jpeg. The two conditions ("mime is set" and "$ext drives the filename") are mutually exclusive.

A fix for #160 has to normalize at L91 (or defer hash construction until after the L223-231 normalization block). Note L91 also has a related latent problem: it interpolates the raw option, so 'mime' => 'image/jpeg' yields a hash containing a / (..._thumbnail.image/jpeg), i.e. an unintended sub-path under $storage — same root cause, raw value used before normalization.

On the data-URI claim in the PR description — this part is correct. Pre-change, $ext and $mime were both jpeg at L226-227, so data:image/{$ext} emitted the valid data:image/jpeg. Setting $ext = 'jpg' genuinely would have started emitting data:image/jpg, which is not a registered subtype, so guarding it with $dataMime = $mime ?: "image/{$ext}" is the right call and the fallback is sound for the mime-override cases (jpeg/jpg -> image/jpeg, others pass through). Two caveats: (a) that regression only exists because of this PR, so the net effect at L300 is zero, not a fix; (b) the ?: fallback still emits the invalid data:image/jpg when no mime override is passed and the source file is foo.jpg — pre-existing, untouched here, but if you are already in this line it is a one-token fix.

Also note the cache-hit fast path at L100 returns "data:image/{$mime}" using the raw option, so 'mime' => 'jpg' returns data:image/jpg and 'mime' => 'image/jpeg' returns data:image/image/jpeg. That path is reached whenever the thumbnail already exists, and it is left unfixed — the same L91-vs-L223 normalization gap.

Cache orphaning: not a concern. Because the changed $ext is unreachable for filename purposes whenever mime is set, and unaffected when it is not, no previously cached .jpeg file changes name. (Once L91 is fixed, existing .jpeg cache entries will be orphaned — one-time regeneration plus stale files on disk. Worth a line in the PR body then, not blocking.)

On the stated verification method. The extracted-script approach is what hid this. The script reproduced L223-231 plus a synthesized md5(...)."_{$quality}_{$mode}.{$ext}" filename, but the real path never reaches that expression under the very input being tested, because image() L91 pre-empts it. The extraction diverged from the actual call chain precisely at the boundary that matters, so "cache filename ends in .jpg" passed in the harness while the real code still produces .jpeg. The minimum credible check here is end-to-end: call $app->helper('asset')->image(['src' => ..., 'mime' => 'jpeg', 'width' => 1280, 'height' => 0], true) and assert on the returned path, or at minimum ls the storage dir. Any future harness should start at the public entry point (image()), not at the middle of a protected helper.

The one non-blocking side effect that is real: L250's vips temp file becomes .jpg instead of .jpeg, which is harmless (both select the JPEG encoder).

Summary: $mime / $ext separation on L227-228 is conceptually the right shape and is internally consistent, but it is applied at a point in the flow that the bug never reaches. Needs the L91 normalization to actually close #160. Not approving — no merge rights, and this should go back for a fix.

Dead for the reported case. image() L91 already built $hash as md5(...)."_{$quality}_{$mode}.{$mime}" from the raw option and passed it down here, so L239 short-circuits ($hash ?? ...) and this $ext never reaches the output filename or cache key whenever mime is set — which is the only situation in which #160 occurs. With mime: 'jpeg' the thumbnail still lands at ..._thumbnail.jpeg. The normalization needs to happen before/at L91, or $hash construction needs to move after this block.

The $mime = "image/{$mime}" half is correct and preserves image/jpeg for Img::toString() — no objection there.

Confirmed and fixed properly this time. Root cause was exactly as you described: image() built $hash from the raw $mime at what was line 91 before any normalization ran, so imageByPath()'s $ext fix at L227 never reached the hash/filename whenever a mime option was set — the only case #160 occurs in.

Fix: extracted the jpeg->jpg (and image/ prefix stripping) normalization into a shared normalizeImageMime() helper, and call it in image() before $hash is built, then reuse the same helper in imageByPath() so both paths agree. Verified end-to-end this time by bootstrapping the real Cockpit app (via bootstrap.php/Cockpit::instance()) in a docker php:8.3 container matching the repo's own Dockerfile deps (gd, zip, pdo_sqlite), calling the actual public $app->helper('asset')->image([...]) entry point against a real uploaded jpg, and asserting on the real returned storage path — not a reimplemented snippet. Confirmed the added assertion fails against the pre-fix code (produces ..._thumbnail.jpeg) and passes against the new fix (produces ..._thumbnail.jpg).

Pushed a real fix for the blocking issue found in review: the previous patch normalized $ext/$mime too late — Asset::image() built $hash from the raw mime option before imageByPath()'s normalization ever ran, so setting mime: 'jpeg' (the exact #160 scenario) still produced a .jpeg filename.

New commit (afe0d590):

  • Extracted the mime/extension normalization into a single normalizeImageMime() helper.
  • image() now normalizes $options['mime'] before building $hash, so the cache key and output filename always agree.
  • imageByPath() reuses the same helper instead of duplicating the ad-hoc jpeg->jpg ternary.
  • Also fixed: a raw 'image/jpeg'-style value no longer leaks a literal / into the hash (stray sub-path under storage), and the base64 fallback now maps a plain .jpg extension to image/jpeg instead of the non-standard image/jpg.

Verification this time was end-to-end through the real call chain, not a reimplemented snippet: bootstrapped the actual Cockpit app (bootstrap.php / Cockpit::instance()) in a docker php:8.3 container with the same extensions as the repo's own Dockerfile (gd, zip, pdo_sqlite), called the real public $app->helper('asset')->image([...]) entry point against a real uploaded jpg through imageByAsset()/imageByPath(), and asserted on the actual returned storage path. Confirmed the assertion fails against the pre-fix commit (..._thumbnail.jpeg) and passes with the new fix (..._thumbnail.jpg), including a cache-hit re-request returning the identical path and the base64 data-URI branches.

Checked for outstanding review feedback: all three review threads (CodeRabbit's two cache-key/mime findings and my own independent-review finding on the same root cause) already have a confirmed-fixed reply from commit afe0d590, and CodeRabbit's automated replies confirm both of its threads as addressed. Nothing further to act on here — this PR has no unanswered review comments.

imageByPath() used the raw mime value ('jpeg') directly as the file
extension for the generated thumbnail filename, cache hash and data
URI, producing a .jpeg file even though 'jpg' is the conventional
extension. Split the extension used for filenames/cache keys from the
actual mime type string so the output file gets a .jpg extension while
the produced image/jpeg mime type stays correct everywhere it's used
(Img::toString, data URI).
…tch (Cockpit-HQ#160)

Asset::image() built the cache hash from the raw, un-normalized mime
option before imageByPath()'s jpeg->jpg normalization ever ran, so the
normalization never affected the output filename or cache key when a
mime option was set (the exact scenario in Cockpit-HQ#160). Extract the
normalization into a shared normalizeImageMime() helper and run it in
image() before the hash is built, so the hash and thumbnail filename
always agree.

Also fixes a related bug where a raw 'image/jpeg' mime value produced
a hash containing a literal '/' (stray sub-path under storage), and
normalizes the base64 data-URI fallback so a plain .jpg extension
maps to image/jpeg instead of the non-standard image/jpg.
