Gatsby: Gatsby Plugin Manifest lacking clarity -> causing error

[qumberhussain]

Summary

The gatsby-manifest-plugin documentation for generating icons is unclear.

        icon: `src/images/favion.svg`, // This path is relative to the root of the site.
        icons: [
          {
            src: `src/images/favicon--short.svg`,
            sizes: `192x192`,
            type: `image/png`,
          },
        ],

I have added the above code to the gatsby-config.js. However when running gatsby develop or gatsby build the terminal throws the following error.

error "gatsby-plugin-manifest" threw an error while running the onPostBootstrap lifecycle:

ENOENT: no such file or directory, mkdir 'public/src/images'

  303 | 
  304 |                 if (!exists) {
> 305 |                   fs.mkdirSync(iconPath);
      |                      ^
  306 |                 }
  307 | 
  308 |                 paths[iconPath] = true;


  Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, mkdir 'public/src/images'

The documentation has the favicons in a folder called favicons. The error implies these icon files should be inside the public folder. But this seems incorrect.

Any advice would be helpful, thankyou.

The icon option should point to a file relative to the root of your site inside the src folder.

The icons defined in the icons option however reference icons that will eventually be in the public folder. One puts these files there by placing them inside the static folder.

Example:
1) https://github.com/LekoArts/gatsby-starter-minimal-blog/blob/master/gatsby-config.js#L55-L66
2) https://github.com/LekoArts/gatsby-starter-minimal-blog/tree/master/static

The documentation/README at https://github.com/gatsbyjs/gatsby/blob/master/packages/gatsby-plugin-manifest/README.md should include a note that icons is referring to the final URL and thus images need to be added to static.

I was thinking in include a note below the config but it was already described below the Manual mode config section

you are responsible for defining the entire web app manifest and providing the defined icons in the static folder.

so I just wrote some comments next to the src path like with the icon path
