Cannot load font files referenced in a node_modules css file

[scambier]

• Read the docs.
• Use Vite >=2.0. (1.x is no longer supported)
• If the issue is related to 1.x -> 2.0 upgrade, read the Migration Guide first.

Describe the bug

I'm working on a new project at work, and we're using a node_modules dependency containing all the company css. The css file itself loads Font Awesome files with relative paths:

@font-face {
    font-family: Font Awesome\ 5 Free;
    font-style: normal;
    font-weight: 400;
    font-display: auto;
    src: url(../fonts/fa/fa-regular-400.eot);
    src: url(../fonts/fa/fa-regular-400.eot?#iefix) format("embedded-opentype"), url(../fonts/fa/fa-regular-400.woff2) format("woff2"), url(../fonts/fa/fa-regular-400.woff) format("woff"), url(../fonts/fa/fa-regular-400.ttf) format("truetype"), url(../fonts/fa/fa-regular-400.svg#fontawesome) format("svg")
}

I import the dependency like this in App.vue

<style lang="scss">
@import "@company/css-library/assets/css/styles.css";
</style>

The issue is that the FA fonts are then loaded relatively to the ./src folder, which leads to this 404 error in the browser:
GET http://localhost:3000/fonts/fa/fa-solid-900.woff2 net::ERR_ABORTED 404 (Not Found)

How can I solve this?

Reproduction

I cannot share the source, but I guess that the issue will arise with any css in a node_modules dep, that will load a font file with a relative path.

• vite version: ^2.0.0-beta.34

Update : I did a dirty workaround with rollup-plugin-copy:

import type { UserConfig } from 'vite'
import vue from '@vitejs/plugin-vue'
import { resolve } from 'path'
import copy from 'rollup-plugin-copy'

const config: UserConfig = {
  plugins: [
    vue(),
    copy({
      targets: [
        { src: './node_modules/@company/css-library/assets/fonts/**/*', dest: 'public/fonts' },
        { src: './node_modules/@company/css-library/assets/img/**/*', dest: 'public/img' }
      ]
    })
  ],
  alias: {
    '@': resolve(__dirname, 'src')
  }
}

export default config

But npm run build doesn't work unless the folders fonts and img are at the project's root (and not in ./public), so the files are now copied in two different locations ._.

This should work as expected, can't reproduce. No actionables until a valid reproduction is provided.

[scambier]

@yyx990803 Then I guess there's something wrong either on my project, or on its dependency. I got a small reproduction repo at https://github.com/scambier/test-vite-app

There are two folders: test-vite-app is the main project (a default vue 3 app from the cli), and test-vite-css-dep is the local dependency. It contains css and font files with everything needed to run font-awesome and nothing else. The css code itself is directly copied from our work repo.

• Clone the repo
• cd in the test-vite-app
• npm install then npm run dev
• You should get this, with 404 errors for the font files:
  

Thank you for your time.

You can solve it with postcss

//postcss.config.js
const path = require('path');
module.exports = {
    plugins: {
        'postcss-import': {},
        'postcss-url': [
            {
                filter: t => {
                    //console.log(t, /([a-zA-Z0-9\s_\\.\-\(\):])+(.woff|.woff2)$/i.test(t.url));
                    return /([a-zA-Z0-9\s_\\.\-\(\):])+(.woff|.woff2)$/i.test(t.url);
                },
                url: 'copy',
                assetsPath:
                    process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production'
                        ? './'
                        : path.resolve(__dirname, '.vite_temp/fonts'),
                useHash: process.env.NODE_ENV !== 'production',
                hashOptions: {append: true},
            },
        ],

        tailwindcss: {},
        autoprefixer: {},
    },
};

[scambier]

It works for npm run dev but fails for npm run build with a weird error:

postcss.config.js:8:26 - error 7006: Parameter 't' implicitly has an 'any' type.
 5 |         'postcss-url': [
 6 |             {
 7 |                 filter: t => {
   |                               ~
 8 |                     return /([a-zA-Z0-9\s_\\.\-\(\):])+(.woff|.woff2)$/i.test(t.url);
 9 |                 },

And if I add an any type to t, it obviously tells me that typings are for .ts files...

I'll continue with my workaround in the meantime, thank you though :)

It's the same issue as #1629 and is fixed in beta.37.
