Images are not resized

[asecondwill]

Installing like this:

Gemfile
gem 'middleman-images', git: 'https://github.com/zweitag/middleman-images'
gem 'image_optim_pack'

config.rb
configure :build do
  activate :images

...

And then trying to resize image in template:

<%= image_tag "/blog/#{article.date.strftime('%Y')}/#{article.slug}/#{article.data.cover_image}",
     resize: '800x200',
     class: 'blog_thumb' %>

Restarting middleman server and checking page, the image tag looks like this:

<img src="/blog/2019/testing-with-rails-activestorage/testing.jpg" resize="800x200" class="blog_thumb" alt="Testing" width="1000" height="400">

The images will currently only get resized when building the page, not in Middleman's server mode. Did you try middleman build and looked at the output?

Thanks for your speedy response : )

I didn't realise that, so i tried agani and checked it, but still not working.

I don't think that is going to be a very good workflow having the resized images only in build. Makes it hard to develop the site and style the new images, know they are working etc.

@asecondwill Yes it is. Unfortunately processing ressources on demand in Middleman server mode, is very time consuming. You can enable it by removing the configure :build block around the configuration, but you will probably not have a good experience.

We're currently looking for a solution to that problem.
