Problems with images in frontend

Question

We have problems with images in frontend side.

PHP Fatal error: Uncaught TypeError: Argument 1 passed to Magento\Catalog\Block\Product\ImageFactory::create() must be an instance of Magento\Catalog\Model\Product, array given, called in ...

If change "return $this->imageFactory->create($data);" in this method for "return false;" - the error disappears. But we have a new problem in different sections:

PHP Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to a member function toHtml() on boolean in ...

This error after getImage(...)->toHtml and getImageUrl(...)->toHtml

I debbug params, what get methods getImage and getImageUrl. Emptiness gets there. All sections where there is a withdrawal of goods do not work on the site. The images are displayed correctly in the admin panel, but in frontend, I think the problem is in the pictures.

What can help for solve this problems? (Magento 2.2.5, php 7.1, mysql 5.7)

Answer 1

.phtml file

<a href="<?= /* @escapeNotVerified */ $block->getProductUrl($_item) ?>" class="product photo product-item-photo">
            <?= $this->getImage($_item, $image)->toHtml() ?>
</a>

getImage() Function in Block File

 <?php
namespace Vendor\Module\Block;

class file_name extends Template
{
    protected $imageBuilder;

    public function __construct(
        \Magento\Catalog\Block\Product\Context $contextImage,
        array $data = []
    )
    {
        $this->imageBuilder = $contextImage->getImageBuilder();
        parent::__construct($context, $data);
    }
    public function getImage($product, $imageId, $attributes = [])
    {
        return $this->imageBuilder->setProduct($product)
            ->setImageId($imageId)
            ->setAttributes($attributes)
            ->create();
    }
}
