Logo not picked up if not in public folder #3246
Description
Describe the bug
The documentation for the logo states
Logo file to display in nav bar, right before the site title. Accepts a path string, or an object to set a different logo for light/dark mode.
and the following suggests that putting a logo in the root folder works:
export default {
themeConfig: {
logo: '/logo.svg'
}
}
Documentation about static assets suggests that
Common image, media, and font filetypes are detected and included as assets automatically.
However, it seems that the logo has to be put in the public folder to be picked up.
Reproduction
- Set up default site with
npx vitepress init
*include a logo as given above - put it in root
- see it not being picked up
Expected behavior
Either documentation should mention including the logo in public or it should get picked up from root.
