## You must either specify a string src or a File object. {#you-must-either-specify-a-string-src-or-a-file-object}

This error happens in Fluid if an `<img>` tag (or a media / image view helper)
has an undefined variable in the `src` parameter.

Example:

```html
<img src="{f:uri.image(image: file)}" title="{file.title}" alt="{file.alternative}" />
```

and "file" is undefined, or not a `String` or a `FileReference`.
