React/Node app fails to recognize new local image file












0















I'm trying to add a png image as an tag link that navigates to a facebook page. I have the png stored locally, but it kicks back the following error:



Proxy error: Could not proxy request /Media/Images/fb.png from localhost:3000 to http://localhost:3400/.
See https://nodejs.org/api/errors.html#errors_common_system_errors for more information (ECONNREFUSED).



The link syntax is as follows:



<a href='https://www.facebook.com/foo-bar/' className='facebook'><img src='./Media/Images/fb.png' alt="facebook"/></a>



I looked for a typo but couldn't find any, I also tried giving the tag a closing tag rather than keeping it as self-closing, but that did nothing. Lastly I tried 'requiring' the image as follows:



<a href='https://www.facebook.com/foo-bar/' className='facebook'><img src={require('./Media/Images/fb.png')}></img></a>



When I required the image I got the following error:



Module not found: Can't resolve './Media/Images/fb.png' in 'C:UsersAdministratordocumentsdocumentsnewer-cmpfoo-barsrc'



My suspicion is that the 'require' syntax is correct, but for some reason it cannot see the png file. I have no idea why it wouldn't be able to see it, as it has no trouble accessing the other images. Any direction would be appreciated. Thank you.

          You need to make sure that the file matches exactly which would include casing of file and extension. For example if the file on disk is FB.png but you're attempting to access it as fb.png, depending on your server, it will not find a match.



          DISCLAIMER - Aaron asked me to look at it and gave me access to his code-base.



          The source at the time I saw did not match the question he asked but instead had the following line: <a href='https://www.facebook.com/foo-bar/' className='facebook'><img src={require('./Media/Images/fb-white')}></img></a>. The file in his source was fb-white.png. I corrected his reference to include the file extension and now it works.
