I think I have a related issue. I’m the proud owner of a brand new MacBook Pro and was setting up a new Discourse development environment. I followed @techAPJ’s how to for this to the letter. It all went perfect (well done, sir!) except for the letter avatars. They fail to load.
I did some digging and found this error trace:

Following that error are the related error traces for the missing images. Essentially, it seems as though the image size it’s looking for isn’t being created on startup.
I tried rm -rf tmp and restarted locally but that made no difference.
UPDATE: I ran the sidekiq job for CreateMissingAvatars thinking that may help. It did bring in the system user avatar but it applied that to my user account as well. I would have expected a letter avatar instead. But maybe that resolved it?
UPDATE2: Sorry. Not resolved. Here’s the error:
No such file or directory @ rb_file_s_ctime - /Users/joebuhlig/Codebase/discourse/tmp/letter_avatars/5_9923d3d1b8ee4d0450f1275952f90f00/J/185_229_243/64.png
