I am using CarrierWave with MiniMagick to resize and uploaded file. I have the version directive in my uploader

  version :thumb do
    process :resize_to_limit => [100, 100]
  end

But when I upload the file, the operation fails. The exception I am getting is

No such file or directory - identify -ping /var/folders/Au/AuBTXIH8HzCAhKdy0jvi+k+++TI/-Tmp-/mini_magick20120906-64039-1gx1ptu.jpg

The name of the file I am uploading is hat.jpg. The /var/folders/Au/AuBTXIH8HzCAhKdy0jvi+k+++TI/-Tmp-/ directory does exist, but when I do the upload I do not see the file in question being created.

Any suggestions as to what the problem may be?

Edit: I have found that the specific issue is that MiniMagick is spawning a command to run identify, and the identify command is not being found. But it is on my system at /usr/local/bin/identify --it was installed as part of ImageMagick.For some reason MiniMagick is not picking it up.

Discovered that the problem was with my RubyMine IDE, not my application or ImageMagick or MiniMagick.

It seems when the RubyMine IDE is launched (by double-clicking the RubyMine icon) it does not inherit the PATH that would exist for a terminal session. Therefore /usr/local/bin/ was not in my server path when I launched the rails server from within RubyMine.

I am able to run my application successfully when launching the server from the command line. I also found that if I launch RubyMine from the command line (using open -a RubyMine), then the terminal session is inherited and everything works as expected.

add to the TOP of your /etc/paths:

/usr/local/bin/

This will tell the mac OS that new shells should have this variable. I say to add to the top because with homebrew, you are often adding paths that override built in mac applications
