Loading assets within a webview

[ajq0]

Greetings,

I am developing a vscode extention to be used within the Theia framework. This extension contains a webview.

When loading the webview, all the assets declared in the html and loaded via js, seem to be properly handled by Theia except for assets that are loaded by a css stylesheet. For me this would be font files which are declared in the css like so
url("./media/iconfont.ttf") inside of a @font-face block. My question is how can i get Theia to load these assets correctly.

I see that Theia injects a fake.html file that acts as the file requester for most of the resources, but not for my font.

Hey @ajq0,

does your webview work as expected in VS Code? If not, I would recommend to read up on the webviews guide by VS Code.

If it works in VS Code, please create an issue, as that would be considered a bug on our end.

Hi @msujew, yes the loading of the font file works as expected when running the extension in VSCode. I will create an issue, thanks.
