Description
Link to the code that reproduces this issue
https://github.com/blakewilson/relative-img-path-bug
To Reproduce
- Start the application in dev mode
- Go to http://localhost:3000
- Click the first link and confirm that the image exists on the
/hello-worldroute - Go back to http://localhost:3000
- Click the second link (using
next/link) and notice the image 404s on the/hello-worldroute. Refresh the page, and notice the image appears.
Current vs. Expected behavior
Following the steps above, I expect to see the correct image when rendering the hello world route via next/link. Instead, the image 404s.
