i copy file to plugin directory and also set config but when i call
jekyll build

get following error:

Dependency Error: Yikes! It looks like you don't have /_plugins/jekyll_minimagick.rb or one of its dependencies installed. In order to use Jekyll as currently configured, you'll need to install this gem. The full error message from Ruby is: 'cannot load such file -- mini_magick' If you run into trouble, you can find helpful resources at https://jekyllrb.com/help/!

installing gem install mini_magick but nothing changed

MiniMagick is successfully creating the files (I'm using it to make thumbnails in /images/thumbnail/), but when I do a for loop through the site.static_files array, the thumbnails don't appear.

Is that how it's supposed to be? Is there a way to programmatically ask whether the files exist? My code relies on checking whether the image file exists before trying to render it, and its absence in static_files means I'm not sure how to test for that.

Any advice?

Hi Matt,

I'm very new to the whole Ruby/Jekyll ecosystem. I'm using CloudCannon as my UI for Jekyll and it seems really great. Just trying to figure out a straight-forward way to create thumbnails and smaller versions of images and stumbled across your Github repository. It looks like what I am after :)

However, I'm having a bit of trouble getting it to work and wondered if you could spare a moment to see if you know what my issue is. I suspect I'm missing something obvious... I have done the following:

In my root, created folder '_plugins'. Within that I placed jekyll_minimagick.rb

In my '_config.yml' I have the following:

  - "jekyll-feed"
  - "jekyll-seo-tag"
  - "jekyll-paginate"
  - "jekyll-archives"
  - "rmagick"
  - "jekyll-minimagick"

mini_magick:
    thumbnail: # Preset name
        source: images/originals # source directory - change this to whatever you want
        destination: images/thumbnail # generated destination directory
        resize: "100x70^" # standard imagemagick options - you can chain multiple commands
        gravity: "center"
        extent: "100x70"

My 'gemfile' is:

gem 'jekyll', '3.3.1'

group :jekyll_plugins do
	gem 'jekyll-feed', '0.6.0'
	gem 'jekyll-seo-tag', '2.0.0'
	gem 'jekyll-paginate', '1.1.0'
	gem 'jekyll-archives', '2.1.1'
	gem 'rmagick', '2.16.0'
end

But I get this error:

Dependency Error: Yikes! It looks like you don't have elegant-hummingbird.cloudvent.net/_plugins/jekyll_minimagick.rb or one of its dependencies installed. In order to use Jekyll as currently configured, you'll need to install this gem.

Am I missing something very simple here?
