Sprite not rendering when I add it's image texture to a folder

[vihanagarwal]

I am having a really weird issue. I am creating a sprite from an image as follows:

var grid1_texture = new PIXI.Texture.fromImage("whiteSquare.jpg");

Now this works fine and I am able to add this to the stage. I basically want to add all my images to a folder called resources. So I changed the code to this:

var grid1_texture = new PIXI.Texture.fromImage("/resources/whiteSquare.jpg");

When I do this, I can see in Brackets editor that the link is being made however, the sprites do not get rendered on the stage.

Please help!

that's an absolute link? I don't know the structure of your app in web server, try relative link?

var grid1_texture = new PIXI.Texture.fromImage("resources/whiteSquare.jpg");

I myself usually append a "./", ie: fromImage("./resources/whiteSquare.jpg"), try it out too.

Remember these are URLs, not file paths.

I fixed it. For some reason changing "/resources/..." to "resources/..." made it work. I'm quite confused why

Because they are different urls, one is "root domain -> resources -> ..." the other is "current url -> resources -> ...".
