I'm trying to change the logo of the thingsboard UI but for some reason the logo is not updating after the custom build. I have tried rebuilding thingsboard several times and on the following releases:
1.1, 1.2, 1.2.3
The steps I've taken are:
1) Install Java and Maven on Windows 10. - These work as expected.
2) Cloned the source code from https://github.com/thingsboard/thingsboard/
3) Checked out the relevant branch / release. (as per versions listed above)
4) Replaced the the two logos in https://github.com/thingsboard/thingsboard/tree/master/ui/src/svg with my logos, in same format (svg) and same dimensions. Also replaced the favicon in https://github.com/thingsboard/thingsboard/tree/master/ui/src .
4a) When building release1.1 I also had to add SET to the NODE_ENV in package.json. Newer version use a cross platform package which eliminates this requirement.
4b) In another attempt, I built the source without any logos. I.e. the svg directory was empty.
4c) I also tried building with and without the mdi.svg file as not sure what it does.
5) The build passes (on each new build attempt) and:
5a) I stop the thingsboard server net stop thingsboard
5b) I uninstall thingsboard using uninstall.bat.
5c) I delete the contents of C:\thingsboard
5d) I extract the build from application/target/thingsboard-windows.zip to C:\thingsboard.
5e) I run install.bat
5f) I start the service once more net start thingsboard.
The original thingsboard logo has never changed, even when no logo(s) were present int he source files.
Please note my inexperience with Maven if relevant.
Kindly let me know if I'm missing something or if you have already managed to change the logo(s) / favicon of thingsboard. Thank you.
There can be 2 issues:
You're not clearing out the old build files. When building the project afresh with new SVG files, first clear out the old files. This can be done easily using this git command:
git clean -fdx
