images in content fragment don't show in content frag...

[mpalme1]

I'm fairly new to AEM development.

I'm trying to find the cause of an issue, and I don't really know where to look. If I do the following, the functionality works as expected:

1. install AEM (6.5) on my development machine

2. create a content fragment model that includes a mulit-line field

3. use that cf model to create a cf in /content/dam/we-retail/en/people/mens, adding text and image to the multi-line field.

4. create a page under /content/we-retail/us/en/men using content page template

5. add a content fragment component to the new page and link it to the cf created in step 2 and 3, select single text element, and choose the content in the multi-line field.

The text and image from the content fragment appear on the page.

After I "mvn clean install -PautoInstallPackage" a project my team is working on, if I repeat the same steps, the text from the content fragment will show up on the page, but not the image. Given those results, I believe something in our project must be causing this problem, but I don't know where to look to find that cause. I'm looking through the error.txt file in \crx-quickstart\logs and see messages that appear to be about my content fragment and/or page like:

By comparison, if I look at the logs after performing these actions on a clean AEM instance (before the mvn install), I don't find these errors. 

Does anyone have any recommendations for how to further investigate this issue?

Thanks,

Seems to be some vault filter issue. Are you able to see image in DAM as well in CF directly? If not I believe after men clean install, images might be getting deleted..

[mpalme1]

Thanks for responding. These are my filter.xml files:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<workspaceFilter version="1.0">
<filter root="/conf/pineapple/settings/dam"/>
<filter root="/conf/pineapple/settings/wcm"/>
<filter root="/conf/pineapple/settings/workflow"/>
<filter root="/conf/global/settings/workflow/launcher/config/pineapple-launcher"/>
<filter root="/var/workflow/models/conf/pineapple/settings/workflow/models/pineapple_page_verification"/>
<filter root="/content/dam/pineapple/us/en/fruitjuice"/>
</workspaceFilter>

In ui.apps, it looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<workspaceFilter version="1.0">
<filter root="/apps/pineapple"/>
</workspaceFilter>

The content fragment model, content fragment, and page were all under we-retail. The image was at /content/dam/we-retail-screens/we-retail-instore-logo.png and I can see it in both the DAM and in CRXDE at that path.

Hi @mpalme1 ,

There might be issue with synchronisation, Please verify that the images in your project (/content/dam/<project>) will also be present in the backend (ui.apps/.../jcr_root/dam/<project>). There is a high possibility that Assets are not present in ui.apps and it's going to delete the assets in AEM when you fire -PautoInstallPackage.

If you are using vault then please check the filter files as well

I think I may have left out an important detail. The project I used to mvn clean install -PautoInstallPackage was called , let's say, "pineapple". However, i'm not building my content fragment models, content fragments, pages, etc in that "pineapple" project. I'm building them in we-retail and used this image "/content/dam/we-retail-screens/we-retail-instore-logo.png" in the content fragment multi line field. I don't think my "pineapple" project that I installed has any references in it to we-retail assets, pages, etc. I did this test because our AEM servers will have multiple projects/sites, and I'm concerned that something in this "pineapple" project is breaking AEM functionality for all the projects/sites that will be on the server/instance. So, to be clear, I only did the mvn clean install of "pineapple" once. But after I did, all subsequent attempts to perform the 5 listed steps in we-retail (or any other project on the site) resulted in a page showing the text of the content fragment but not the image.

Also, we are using our filter.xml files. In ui.content, the filter.xml looks like this: 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<workspaceFilter version="1.0">
<filter root="/conf/pineapple/settings/dam"/>
<filter root="/conf/pineapple/settings/wcm"/>
<filter root="/conf/pineapple/settings/workflow"/>
<filter root="/conf/global/settings/workflow/launcher/config/pineapple-launcher"/>
<filter root="/var/workflow/models/conf/pineapple/settings/workflow/models/pineapple_page_verification"/>
<filter root="/content/dam/pineapple/us/en/fruitjuice"/>
</workspaceFilter>

In ui.apps, it looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<workspaceFilter version="1.0">
<filter root="/apps/pineapple"/>
</workspaceFilter>

(duplicate, tried to delete but couldn't)

@mpalme1 The way your image is stored in a page is by storing its reference. So, you first go to crx/de and investigate content/we-retail/us/en/men/after-install/jcr:content/root/responsivegrid/contentfragment. Do you see the image reference?

If you see the image reference, then check for the image. Is it available at its location?

[mpalme1]

Thanks for the response. In this case, I used /content/dam/we-retail-screens/we-retail-instore-logo.png. In crxde, at /content/we-retail/us/en/men/test/jcr:content/root/responsivegrid/contentfragment/par1/we-retail-instore-logo-1591393385495, I do see a "fileReference" with value "/content/dam/we-retail-screens/we-retail-instore-logo.png" and I also see that image at that path in crxde.
