Incorrect paths for fonts

[giero]

Hi :)

I have comeback of known issue #88 in new version of Encore :)
So far I used the same solution as #88 (comment)

webpackConfig.module.rules[2].options.publicPath = './';
webpackConfig.module.rules[3].options.publicPath = './';

but this option is not valid anymore.
I tried to modify config using

.configureLoaderRule('fonts', (loaderRule) => {
    
})

but there's not much to do here

{
  test: /\.(woff|woff2|ttf|eot|otf)$/,
  type: 'asset/resource',
  generator: { filename: 'fonts/[name].[hash:8][ext]' },
  parser: {}
}

Do you have any idea how to do this correctly?

[giero]

Temporary working (but with warning from Encore about public path) solution:

Encore
    .setOutputPath('web/build/')
    .setPublicPath('.')
    .setManifestKeyPrefix('.')
    .configureManifestPlugin((options) => {
        options.publicPath = './build/';
    })
// ...

Doesn't work with .enableVersioning()

Hey @giero!

Is the problem only that the paths are wrong in manifest.json? Or is there some other problem? It could be related to #907 if it's just about manifest.json.

Cheers!

Reffering to #88 (comment) we have the same case - multiple Symfony instances under sub-directories e.g:

http://example.org/site-1/web/app.php
http://example.org/site-2/web/app.php

Our current Encore config looks like this:

Encore
    .setOutputPath('web/assets/')
    .setPublicPath('/assets')

and maybe it's important

.splitEntryChunks()
.configureSplitChunks((splitChunks) => {
        splitChunks.chunks = 'all';
        splitChunks.cacheGroups = {
            css: {
                test: /\.(css|sass|scss|less)$/,
                name: 'styles',
                chunks: 'all',
            },
        };
    })

to aggregate all style files into single css file.

Production entrypoints (with versioning) looks like this

{
  "entrypoints": {
    "attribute/index": {
      "js": [
        "/assets/runtime.5b7a9943.js",
        "/assets/styles.b54955b2.js",
        "/assets/0.cf60d32b.js",
        "/assets/attribute/index.1561a3ba.js"
      ],
      "css": [
        "/assets/styles.55053e81.css"
      ]
    },

and some examples from manifest.json

{
  ...
  "assets/attribute/index.js": "/assets/attribute/index.1561a3ba.js",
  "assets/styles.js": "/assets/styles.b54955b2.js",
  "assets/styles.css": "/assets/styles.f6a7beab.css",
  ...
  "assets/fonts/fontawesome-webfont.woff2?v=4.7.0": "/assets/fonts/fontawesome-webfont.20fd1704.woff2",
  ...
}

Everithing is ok so far, but in styles.css we need relative fonts/images/icons path ... because it looks like this:

url(/assets/fonts/glyphicons-halflings-regular.be810be3.woff2) format("woff2")

So

const config = Encore.getWebpackConfig();

config.module.rules[2].options.publicPath = './';
config.module.rules[3].options.publicPath = './';

module.exports = config;

was a "hack" to fix that css paths - after that we have

url(fonts/glyphicons-halflings-regular.be810be3.woff2) format("woff2")

And now, with Asset Modules I have to find working solution to fix those paths.

[giero]

I am not sure if this is a bug. This works fine, as long as the application is not running in a subdirectory.

In this case, since the styles.css and fonts are in the web/assets/ directory, that's why the path to fonts should be relative. The question is whether at the moment it is possible to force the path relativity in the css file (maybe it's not a matter of Encore itself but the less/scss configuration).

[weaverryan]

Yea, I understand. It's a matter of having relative paths in the final CSS files. I don't know if that's possible - it's not something I've looked into recently. Sorry I can't be more helpful! This would require some deep research.

[giero]

After hours of trial and error I have found working (but not very best I suppose) solution. But maybe someone could come up with their own solution based on that.

My goals:

1. generate single styles.css (from all in-project css/less/scss files) file in Encore's outputPath
2. gather all font files in outputPath/fonts
3. gather all image files in outputPath/image
4. (the most important) have all URLs for fonts/images as RELATIVE inside styles.css file - this is because we have single build and project may be in different sub-directories on clients server.

Point 1. can be simply done by

.splitEntryChunks()
.configureSplitChunks((splitChunks) => {
    splitChunks.cacheGroups = {
        css: {
            test: /\.(css|sass|scss|less)$/,
            name: 'styles',
            chunks: 'all',
        },
    };
})

But for the others the solution is ... "do not use Asset Modules" ...

My configuration is based on:
https://webpack.js.org/guides/asset-modules/
https://webpack.js.org/loaders/file-loader/
and ... .configureFontRule / .configureImageRule comments ...

.configureFontRule(
    { type: 'javascript/auto' },
    (rule) => {
        rule.loader = 'file-loader';
        rule.options = { outputPath: 'fonts', name: '[name].[ext]', publicPath: './fonts/' };
    }
)
.configureImageRule(
    { type: 'javascript/auto' },
    (rule) => {
        rule.loader = 'file-loader';
        rule.options = { outputPath: 'images', name: '[name].[ext]', publicPath: './images/' };
    }
)

After all of this every font/image is in its directory in public path and my URLs for fonts in styles.css look like this

@font-face {
  font-family: "Glyphicons Halflings";
  src: url(./fonts/glyphicons-halflings-regular.eot);
  src: url(./fonts/glyphicons-halflings-regular.eot?#iefix) format("embedded-opentype"), url(./fonts/glyphicons-halflings-regular.woff2) format("woff2"), url(./fonts/glyphicons-halflings-regular.woff) format("woff"), url(./fonts/glyphicons-halflings-regular.ttf) format("truetype"), url(./images/glyphicons-halflings-regular.svg#glyphicons_halflingsregular) format("svg");
}

Works like a charm ;) If I don't find a better solution using Assets Modules, I think I'll leave it as it is.
Cheers :)

After upgrading to latest web pack (was still on 0.28) I ran into #88 again.

Thanks @giero for posting your solution, saved me a couple of hours.

As this is an issue for every (open source) app, where the devs don't know anything about the host system, I'd propose adding some documentation for it.

Edit: btw. the default config sets filenames to [name].[hash:8].[ext] instead of your example [name].[ext]

[andyexeter]

The solution from @giero appears to have stopped working. I believe this release is the cause: https://github.com/webpack-contrib/mini-css-extract-plugin/releases/tag/v2.0.0

I have managed to get relative URLs working again by using the following in my webpack.config.js:

.configureMiniCssExtractPlugin((loaderConfig) => {
    loaderConfig.publicPath = './';
})

[xmontero]

@andyexeter you made my day!

I'll describe my situation so anyone looking in google for this will know your solution works:

• Symfony 6.2
• scss working perfect
• required "@fortawesome/fontawesome-free": "^6.3.0" with yarn
• imported in the scss
  • @import '~@fortawesome/fontawesome-free/scss/fontawesome';
  • @import '~@fortawesome/fontawesome-free/scss/regular';
  • @import '~@fortawesome/fontawesome-free/scss/solid';
  • @import '~@fortawesome/fontawesome-free/scss/brands';
• Developing inside a docker at port 23180 inside a subdirectory
• In webpack.config.js I had:

Encore
    .setOutputPath('public/build/')
    .setPublicPath('build') // removed / for subdirectory deploy

Problem:

• Icons not showing up.
• Reason: The URL was (wrongly) set to http://localhost:23180/repos/hello-trip/admin-panel/public/build/build/fonts/fa-solid-900.bdb9e232.woff2 - Note the double /build/build/ path.

With @andyexeter's solution, ie: this:

Encore
    .setOutputPath('public/build/')
    .setPublicPath('build') // removed / for subdirectory deploy
    .configureMiniCssExtractPlugin((loaderConfig) => {
        loaderConfig.publicPath = './';
    })

now the final path is: http://localhost:23180/repos/hello-trip/admin-panel/public/build/fonts/fa-solid-900.bdb9e232.woff2 (ie: no double /build/build but a single one) and the icons properly load.
