How to make Flask honor image path changes?

Question

Python

Build an app in Flask. The application contains html, css, js files. css and js files are located in app/static/css and app/static/js. The images are located in app/static/images. In one of the css files I specified

background-image: url('app/static/images/like-active.svg');

On launch I got: /app/static/images/like-inactive.svg HTTP/1.1←[0m" 404 -
changed css to:

background-image: url('/static/images/like-active.svg');

when I run it, I still get: /app/static/images/like-inactive.svg HTTP/1.1←[0m" 404 -

Why is this happening?

Answer 1

1. Check if there is still a picture there.
2. Look at the statics settings (have you overridden something, it happens, yes)
3. In a good mood in general, so that nginx manages the statics, if this is not the case already.
Yes, by the way, I climbed into the project at hand to look, does the url look like this (malol) and everything is exactly like that. Works even on local (where there is no nginx).

Answer 2

Relative path background-image: url('../images/like-active.svg'); tried?

Answer 3

noticed that after a certain time flask starts to correctly interpret the path that is specified, but as soon as I change the path and flask does not react to the change and refers to the previous path.
