The badge is broken due to librsvg

[changLiuUNSW]

I just installed badge in my new machine today and after run badge command the icon become broken, but it works fine on my old machine.

after

After some research, the issue is caused by pango 1.44.3 which is one of the dependencies of librsvg, because It was working fine with pango 1.42.4.
I cannot raise the issue on their github page https://github.com/GNOME/pango, because they disabled it.

The workaround for now is to uninstall librsvg and use default graphicsmagick

[techinpark]

@changLiuUNSW same issue. do you find any solution with using librsvg ?
I found this link https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/pango/issues

[changLiuUNSW]

@techinpark no solution.

Can we raise the issue to that link?

Could you tell me how to use graphicsmagick? I uninstalled librsvg but I get this error:

@julianch have you installed graphicsmagick? brew install graphicsmagick

[julianch]

brew install graphicsmagick

@PatrickDotStar Yes, I have graphicsmagick installed and I'm still getting that error.

I am experiencing the same error as @julianch . I have graphicsmagick 1.3.33 installed. Sadly this does not seem to be a workaround (or might need some more configuration I am not aware of).

[techinpark]

@julianch how to you run badge? fastlane plugin or standalone ?

[Gremkow]

add_badge(
	dark: true,
	shield: "Version-#{options[:app_version]}-blue",
	glob: "/path/to/png"
)

I use badge inside the fastfile like this.

[techinpark]

@Gremkow (cc @julianch )
In my case, i have same problem like yours.

Solution

1. Open Terminal and make badge icon

• badge --shield Version-#{app_version}-blue -- dark

2. remove add_badge line in fastfile

[Gremkow]

@techinpark Thanks for your advice, when trying to run your command (with a removed whitespace between -- and dark) inside the folder containing the .png, badge does not find any icons.
Anyway, we will probably need to get a solution using the fastfile, since running manual commands is not something we want to do in our automation process, if possible.
If we find a solution to this which works for us I will update you.

using librsvg solved but the badges look blury, any idea to make them less blury?
