Laravel 6 DOMPDF image rendering

Question

I am using barryvdh/laravel-dompdf to convert Blade template views into PDF documents, everything works great except imagery.

In one PDF I have an image with the following markup.

<img 
    class="newable-logo" 
    src="{{ public_path('assets/images/newable-logo-blue.png') }}"
    alt="{{ public_path('assets/images/newable-logo-blue.png') }}"
>

On my local machine, this resolves to

C:\\laragon\\www\\nvl-portal\\public\\assets/images/newable-logo-blue.png

This doesn't render on the PDF locally but this exact code works as expected on my staging and production servers.

Is this normal behaviour?

I always thought DOMPDF used the fully qualified path?

Answer 1

it can happen due to path separator deference between windows and linux. you can try DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR in php. eg:

src="{{ public_path('assets' .DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR .'images' .DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'newable-logo-blue.png') }}"
