Question

I’m not sure what’s going on here.

Using MiniMagick 3.3, everything was working fine until I tried to resize.

This line is causing me to get a wrong number of arguments error:

image_file.resize "#{style.width}x#{style.height}"

Which seems like it should work fine according to the docs.

Here’s the trace:

    wrong number of arguments (0 for 1)
RAILS_ROOT: /tmn_core_cms

image_file = MiniMagick::Image.open(“#{RAILS_ROOT}/public/images/i/Standard/#{baseimage.id}/original/#{baseimage.image_file_name}”)

The image_file was returning the correct object ( I was testing everything as I added each step, it all worked up until I resized)

The top section says ArgumentError in ArticlesController#update

Answer 1

Try replacing the string interpolation with a value and test that, maybe something is going wrong there.

image_file.resize "250x250"

If that works then you need to look at your definition for style since it may not be defined properly or you may be calling a method by an incorrect name.

Edit 0:

Try opening a console for your application and running some example code for MiniMagick just so we can make sure its working:

image = MiniMagick::Image.open("http://www.google.com/images/logos/logo.png")
image.resize "5x5"

If that works in your applications console then the problem exists somewhere besides the installation of the plugin.

Edit 1:

Ok well so its the installation method that’s giving you trouble. Using bundler you can install dependencies inside the vendor directory which would give you all the same behaviour of having them installed on the system. Try running bundle install --path vendor/bundle See the docs here.
