Problem loading local html

See original GitHub issue

Specification

Platform: macOS
Version: 10.13.6

Description

Hi, I’ve just started using pywebview and am having trouble loading/linking local html/css/js files. webview.create_window('Test', 'assets/index.html') only shows a white screen whereas

def load_html():
    with open('assets/index.html') as html:
        webview.load_html(str(html.read()))


if __name__ == '__main__':
    t = threading.Thread(target=load_html)
    t.start()
    webview.create_window('Test')

doesn’t load the image or stylesheet referenced in the HTML:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
  <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">
  <meta charset="utf-8"/>
</head>
<body bgcolor="#0099ff">
	<div align="center">
            <img src="images/logo.jpg">
            <h1>TEST</h1>
        </div>
</body>
</html>

I’m probably missing something very obvious, any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Or pass debug=True as an argument to create_window() and on the white screen try Control Click -> Inspect Element to inspect the webview.
