Navbar logo and favicon images are not showing up while serving locally for sites with baseUrl

Have you read the Contributing Guidelines on issues?

• I have read the Contributing Guidelines on issues.

Prerequisites

• I’m using the latest version of Docusaurus.
• I have tried the npm run clear or yarn clear command.
• I have tried rm -rf node_modules yarn.lock package-lock.json and re-installing packages.
• I have tried creating a repro with https://new.docusaurus.io.
• I have read the console error message carefully (if applicable).

Description

After updating to docusarus beta 9, the navbar logo image (and favicon image) is not showing up while serving the site locally. This happens with sites having baseUrl (other than /). If I visit http://localhost:3000/{baseUrl}/img/favicon.ico, I see 404 Page Not Found. However, things seems alright while building the site.

Steps to reproduce

1. Create a brand new site: npx @docusaurus/init@latest init my-site classic

2. Set a baseUrl in docusaurus.config.js, say /test/

3. Fire up npm start. This is what I see:

4. Visit http://localhost:3000/test/img/favicon.ico, it gives 404 error.

5. However, npm run build followed by npm run serve correctly shows the logo.

Expected behavior

Should be able to see the logo and favicon images correctly while serving the site locally.

Actual behavior

Logo and favicon images are not available in website path.

Hi, due to the number of duplicate reports on this issue I’ve reopened the original one. This has already been fixed and will be released soon. If you are experiencing the same, please either stay on beta.8 or use the canary release.
