Summary

  • Fix bug in ImageOps._border(): When given a tuple with a length other than 2 or 4 (e.g. a 1-tuple or 3-tuple), the function raised an unhelpful UnboundLocalError because the left, top, right, bottom variables were never assigned. This now raises a clear ValueError with a descriptive message instead.

  • Document rgba() color format in ImageColor: The rgba(red, green, blue, alpha) color string format has been supported in code and tested for a long time, but was missing from the ImageColor documentation. This adds it to the list of supported color string formats.

Test plan

  • Added parametrized test test_expand_invalid_border that verifies ValueError is raised for 1-tuple, 3-tuple, and 5-tuple border values
  • Verified existing tests still pass (ruff and black checks pass)
  • Manually verified the fix resolves the UnboundLocalError

…nt rgba() color format

The _border helper in ImageOps raised UnboundLocalError when given a tuple
with a length other than 2 or 4 (e.g. 1-tuple or 3-tuple). This changes
it to raise a clear ValueError instead.

Also adds documentation for the rgba() color format in ImageColor, which
was supported in code and tested but missing from the docs.

Hi. These seem like two unrelated changes. In the future, it's worth considering whether these should be two separate PRs, or at least two separate commits.

I'm not sure how much of this you used AI for, but if you wouldn't mind explaining your human motivation a bit - did you actually find yourself triggering the UnboundLocalError unintentionally?
