Bug report: Image display issue in dev and prod

[windhamwong]

Referring to #150

Summary

I tried to do grunt prod on a fresh cloned project but images are still not showing properly. Images are not encoded in base64 and embedded into html as well. It is still linking to the file path and the content of the image files are encoded in base64 in javascript code. i.e.
module.exports = "data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAABAAAAAQCAYAAAAf8/9hAAABL0lEQVR4Xp2TPUsDQRCG35VUitiKpYi2IvgbTGFlKUFMaWNnIxap7SxTqShXBrE6wUpLixA/uouVSFrFCxJv75XZCzvsNV587pgblntmZ+7DQNg+3cDiUoxJeE3qiJo3hXx0z7j3xqrIveI4tyRPXgSHd/wv4tZgLb4tEWIA0l2KQHfCaO6Wc4uahPSHCKEX5TC6HmY2Qw1Zhs8RfXF4RUXdXGUXrYUb4WOUa/PlDlxmghUj1egLZLh9esf6yjwE3TsXsdyPRF9YujfuXc7Oxa2tVawtLyAcIsRAn2E3GaDV6UK/xOmZWBWDMpcHmz5/7A9w3HkAhsM6/kSKNyO2n1O2X1LuX/eJ3YhuvTI7FzzpfXHvKqHkKlelcVbIjXOVdVhUGYMoGP+ByhQqonLIL4atOuwJTS7oAAAAAElFTkSuQmCC"

I am still finding a way to fix it, but I would like to ask about more details for the grunt setup here.

Possible solutions

I am currently testing on this.

Environment

Windows 7
npm 4.0.3

$ grunt -V
grunt-cli v1.2.0
grunt v1.0.1

Error message during npm i (in case you would like to know)

Could you give more information about the environment you're running this in? Is this all on the Windows command line, Cygwin, or through PuTTY on a remote Linux box? I ask because you claim it's Windows 7 but your prompt ($ grunt -V) looks like *nix.

I think it might be LXSS.

[windhamwong]

the $ is my cmd program only. The grunt is installed manually using the grunt Windows installer.

[n1474335]

@artemisbot LXSS is only supported on Windows 10 and the OS is specified as Windows 7.

@windhamwong I have not actually tried to build Chef on Windows before, so I'll run some tests to see what might be causing the problem. Do you have access to a Linux VM in the meantime? Also, which cmd program are you using on Windows?

[windhamwong]

@n1474335 yes I can try on a Linux box.
This is a Windows 7 box, and the cmd is just a standard cmd with ConEmu. I just re-run the grunt dev without the cygwin path but the images are still not generated properly.

It is kinda fixed without any reason or action. I will keep checking on this. I will close this if this is no longer an issue.
