I've placed a image file in the folder "pub/media/import" for product image, and run the below script, but I got an error message.

$fullImagePath = "pub/media/import/icn_status.png";
echo $fullImagePath;
if (file_exists($fullImagePath)) {
    try {

        $simple_product->addImageToMediaGallery($fullImagePath, array('image'), false);
    } catch (Exception $e) {
        echo $e->getMessage();
    }
} else {
    echo 'Can not find image';
}

ERROR:

[Magento\Framework\Exception\LocalizedException]

The image does not exist.

  • I may be wrong but don't you have to call $simple_product->save(); after adding the images to the product ? Feb 16, 2016 at 9:40
  • thank you for your reply, the $simple_product is created by magento objectManager $simple_product = $this->objectManger->create('\Magneto\Catalog\Model\Product');

Thanks,

I've checked there is no problem on my code. The problem is file location. I just amended the image file path, the problem has been solved.

$fullImagePath = "/import/icn_status.png";
echo $fullImagePath;
if (file_exists("pub/media".$fullImagePath)) {
    try {
        $simple_product->addImageToMediaGallery($fullImagePath, array('image'), false);
    } catch (Exception $e) {
        echo $e->getMessage();
    }
} else {
    echo 'Can not find image';
}

P.S.

Just to add to P.S. answer and explain why the file path should be relative to media folder:

addImageToMediaGallery calls Model\Product\Gallery\Processor.php::addImage

 $file = $this->mediaDirectory->getRelativePath($file);
 if (!$this->mediaDirectory->isFile($file)) {
      throw new LocalizedException(__('The image does not exist.'));
 }

You can do a debug of the $file, and then keep digging which will eventually bring you to Magento\Framework\Filesystem\Directory\Read

Particularly this line 219: $this->driver->getAbsolutePath($this->path, $path)

Now, if your path was "/pub/media/import/icn_status.png" then by debugging the result of getAbsolutePath call, you will get something like this:

/yoursite/public_html/pub/media/pub/media/import/icn_status.png

So your path is prefixed with the full server path to your media folder.

Hope it makes it more clear now.
