How do you add static images to a Custom Visual using the new Developer Tools?

I have added the images I want to use under the "assets" folder in my project, however when running my custom visual through the Power BI online service I get the "404 resource not found" error.

@catoriana,

What is the image used for? It seems a relative path issue. You may follow the debugging guide to debug your custom visual.

I have the same problem ... How should we solve the relative path issue.

You may take a look at Jon Gallant blog on
Power BI Custom Visual Tip: How to Render an SVG or PNG

http://blog.jongallant.com/2016/12/powerbi-custom-visual-svg-png/

I've tested both approaches and confirm that both work fine with svg and png. Even added a svg vector sample I created in the blog comments. This was mainly for testing as drawing contains more than 15,000 lines of svg code and always appeared in a snap.
