images in webview missing after upgrade from titanium to appcelerator

Question

After updating from titanium (sdk 3.2.3.GA) to appcelerator (SDK 5.1.2.GA) the images on all local webviews have went missing from the app. The CSS that loads the image is:

background-image:url(imgs/images.png)

This error appears in my terminal when accessing the webview:

[ERROR] Error loading /Users/me/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Devices/28073F1B-1FFF-459A-BA4A-6CCA9EB85CEB/data/Containers/Bundle/Application/2B337E08-79EF-4EE1-A62F-338E45199403/MyApp.app/webViews/imgs/images.png

Again, this was working fine on older versions.

Any advice on what to check to get local images showing in webviews again?

It seems like you've found a regression. Please check if this is a known issue at the Appcelerator JIRA . If it's not, create a ticket, link to this question but also provide reproducible code, steps and environment information in the ticket itself. Don't forget to drop a link to the ticket here so that others can watch it with you.
