# Fixing Asset Paths for Local Development
When working on a web project locally, you might encounter issues where images or fonts fail to load. This often happens because the asset paths in the code include a prefix specific to the production environment, such as `/cloud-scout`.
## Problem
In production, asset paths might look like this in your `.css` or `.js` files:
### Example
```css
background-image: url('/cloud-scout/assets/images/background.jpg');
```Font Family
src: url(/cloud-scout/fonts/iosevkanerdfontmono.ttf) format("truetype");
These paths work in production but fail on a local system because the /cloud-scout
prefix doesn't exist in the local environment.
To fix this issue, remove the /cloud-scout
prefix and use relative paths instead.
background-image: url('/assets/images/background.jpg');
src: url(/fonts/iosevkanerdfontmono.ttf) format("truetype");
- Local Compatibility: Assets will load correctly on your local system.
- Cross-Environment Consistency: The project will work seamlessly in both local and production environments.
- Simpler Maintenance: Relative paths are easier to manage during development and deployment.
- Open your
.css
or.js
files. - Search for paths containing
/cloud-scout
(or any other production-specific prefix). - Replace these paths with relative paths starting from the project root or relevant directory.
background-image: url('/cloud-scout/assets/images/background.jpg');
src: url(/cloud-scout/fonts/iosevkanerdfontmono.ttf) format("truetype");
background-image: url('/assets/images/background.jpg');
src: url(/fonts/iosevkanerdfontmono.ttf) format("truetype");
By making these adjustments, your project will be ready for local development without breaking asset loading functionality.
This is structured for a clear and professional GitHub `README.md` file and uses Markdown conventions effectively.
