Hugo warns for the image file not found

support
1

I have 10K+ documents, when I run hugo server -D it warns for the images not found.

Images are referred as [](/images/medium/2VTTcgKjELIHGeRPbvTjgZ5jTWX/2VTTcgKjELIHGeRPbvTjgZ5jTWX_3.webp) in the markdown file.
The server configuration is like

staticDir:
  - "./assets"

My file location is assets -> images/rest-of-path. Though images are rendered when server runs.

although I would consider reusing assets folder for static might not be a good idea as they are special stuff in Hugo and server different purposes.

with [](images/asset.png)nothing will be rendered - assume a copy paste issue and you ment ![].

I’m unable to reproduce your problem: with hugo v0.125.6
hugo server --logLevel debug --printPathWarnings

sometimes removing the publicfolder to get a fresh start helps.

Either a version problem or there’s more in your setup and you will have to provide more details:

In its default configuration, Hugo doesn’t warn you about “images not found”. This warning is coming from a custom template, partial, shortcode, or render hook.

Without access to your project or theme it is impossible to know what is throwing this warning, and therefore impossible to know why.

Thanks @irkode . I tried this way. although my code ![]() for rendering images is correct.

I suspect same. Let me separate the public/theme folder and share the temp link with you. Can you help which exactly template it would be in. Any debugger I could put. I also get warning like WARN Page 'HAHAHUGOSHORTCODE1769s179HBHB' not found in '<page_name>' not found, though its rendered.

Thanks, @jmooring, Found it. Passing custom staticDir in config doesn’t work for my custom theme, as template has passed ‘static/’ string to parse the image path for theme. I have moved it to /static folder and it solved for me.
Thanks again.
