Did you migrate from parcel v1 to v2?

If so, then there’s a breaking change in terms of specifying image paths.

In parcel v1, importing images using a relative path like this will work:

import sunriseIcon from '../assets/icons/sunrise.png'

However, that will not work in parcel v2. Instead, you need to specify the url prefix and use an ‘absolute’ path like so:

import sunriseIcon from 'url:~/src/assets/icons/sunrise.png'

That should fix it.

Happy developing!
