Symfony asset image not found


I would like to display an image on my page, like this:

<img src="{{ asset('image.png') }}"/>

The image is located in assets/image.png

If I open the page, the result is this:

<img src="/image.png"/>

But the image can not be found on that url. I suspect, that the image.png has to be copied somehow to the /public directory, but Symfony did not copy it there, and I have no idea which command to run, to automatically copy the required assets like that.


Solution

  • Unless you do a special treatment on the image, you don't really need to put it in the assets folder. You can just put it in the public folder, in a subfolder ideally.

    Or you can keep it in the assets folder, and use this : https://symfony.com/doc/current/frontend/encore/copy-files.html

    To copy it with webpack on build time.
