LocalJumpError from RMagick

on OSX, a Rails 2.3.14 app under Ruby 1.9.2, this (in a model):

img = Magick::Image::read(File.join(image_path)).first
resized = img.change_geometry("#{new_width}x>")

bombs with this error on that 2nd line:

LocalJumpError (no block given):

Solution

  • Looks, from the docs, like the function requires a block always, even when the basic resize information is given as a function argument. Which seems horribly inelegant to me, but then, I've never found RMagick to be terribly logical/intuitive with functions like that.

    Anyway, the example from the above link looks like it should be enough to get you on a better track. Hope that helps!
