System.ArgumentNullException: 'Value cannot be null. (Parameter 'key')' when calling TextLayer.GetFonts()

Aspose.PSD Product Family
1

After loading a psd and wanting to do Textlayer.GetFonts(), it throws an error:
“System.ArgumentNullException: ‘Value cannot be null. (Parameter ‘key’)’ ”.

This part of the code works without problems with version 23.8 but after updating to 23.9 I get this error everytime I try to acces this code and with a multiple types of files. In order to fix a bug i need the update to 23.9 but this error doesn’t let me do that.

One of the file I used:
SimpleText.zip (20.0 KB)

And the code looks like this:
public virtual void ProcessContentFromTextLayer(TextLayer textLayer)
{
var textLayerFonts = textLayer.GetFonts(); - here i get the problem
int portionIndex = 0;

foreach (var textPortion in textLayer.TextData.Items)
{
    textPortionFont = textLayerFonts[textPortion.Style.FontIndex];
    textPortionInfo = _cfTagPairBuilder.CreateTextPortionInfo(textPortion.Style, textPortionFont);

}
}

Even with the latest version of Aspose.PSD and .net6 this issue isn’t fixed. I created a small project that reproduces exactly the problem maybe it helps.

@afaluta we need time to investigate it. I’ll text you later.

Could you please check fix with this code:

string src = Path.Combine(baseFolder, "SimpleText.psd");

FontSettings.RemoveFontCacheFile();

using (var psdImage = (PsdImage)Image.Load(src))
{
    foreach (var layer in psdImage.Layers)
    {
        if (layer is TextLayer textLayer)
        {
            textLayer.GetFonts();
        }
    }
}

Adding FontSettings.RemoveFontCacheFile(); before the call of GetFonts seems to fix the problem but i’ll play a little more with this fix to be sure.

@afaluta

This issue was because Aspose.PSD in some rare cases was writing broken cache. We’ve fixed this issue, and it will not affect the using of library in the future, but for the customers who already faced with this, RemoveCacheFile() is the best solution.
