Answer 1

Because you asked for an image not founded in the src folder! maybe you're trying to access the images in the public folder at your React project.

My Friend's life is easy, React - using Webpack - converts the jpg/png..etc images to base64 then replaces the URL to the base64... like this

So, you need to make an assets/images folder 📁 inside the src folder that contains all your images, then import the link in your CSS

  background-image: url("./assets/images/logo512.png");

Again, React will convert the image to bases64! That will make the image not depend on the folder Path.

Answer 2

I got myself in a similar situation. Here's the fix I made: The error is saying that you do not have an image 📁 under src 📁

simply move the image 📁 under src then redirect the URL to it

background: url('/src/images/img-2.jpg');

Answer 3

Add your images to your src ... pretty much move it from public to the src folder

background-image: url('/src/images/img-2.jpg');
