Why pathPrefix does not work for gifs in pages's md after deploy

[FengShangWuQi]

I add a pathPrefix with project name instead of /, but I found that can not find gif files correctly after deploy using github pages, it returns 404, however, pictures in pages's md returns 200.

network looks like this:
png: ...github.io/pathPrefix/static/path/xx.png -> 200
gif: ...github.io/xx.gif -> 404

Hmmm looks like https://github.com/gatsbyjs/gatsby/blob/master/packages/gatsby-remark-copy-linked-files/src/index.js needs updated to support path prefixes. Is this something you'd be interested in fixing? Would love to help you make a PR!

[FengShangWuQi]

Thanks a lot 👍, waiting for your good news, and I also find that the files in static/ in the same problem after add pathPrefix.

@KyleAMathews Is this problem solved?

[KyleAMathews]

@FengShangWuQi no one has written a PR for it so no. Would love it if you wanted to look into solving the issue! See our contributing guide https://www.gatsbyjs.org/docs/how-to-contribute/

I've also hit this issue. Can I suggest that this issue is given a more descriptive name to reflect that is doesn't only affect GIF images, but all files with relative links inside Markdown after a deploy with pathPrefix.

I'm going to have a crack at a PR to fix this, but it's my first time digging into the Gatsby internals so I won't have instant results.

...actually this has been fixed. If anyone is still searching for this , update your package.json to require a newer version of gatsby-remark-copy-linked-files, version 1.5.31 worked for me.

{
  "dependencies": {
    "gatsby-remark-copy-linked-files": "^1.5.31",
  }
}

as @ajrussellaudio mentioned - this was fixed with #4841
