WKWebView does not load images
|
Gerriet M. Denkmann
[ wkWebView loadHTMLString: htmlString baseURL: nil ];
htmlString contains: …<img alt=“alternate” src=“/path/to/myImage.gif” /> …. WKWebView just shows a rectangle containing: “alternate”. WebView shows the picture. Are there any special steps needed to make WKWebView show images? Gerriet. |

WKWebView has more security, so it probably disallows filesystem access. Or at least you may need to configure something about the “origin” or “security domain” to enable it. Or setting the baseURL to a “file:” URL might help. Basically, it’s a security hole to let HTML loaded from the web access the local filesystem. WebView assumes HTML you give it from a string is local/trusted, but it looks like WKWebView doesn’t. —Jens |

So I’ll better stick with WebView until WKWebView gets smarter. Gerriet. |

Is /path/to/myImage.gif a full path or a partial path? I ask because you didn't specify a base URL.

Do the path components have the correct case if the image is on a case-sensitive volume? On Oct 6, 2017, at 7:58 AM, Gerriet M. Denkmann <g@...> wrote: |

Another thing that just occurred to me — since there is no base URL, there’s nothing to resolve the path relative to. (Yes it’s an absolute path, but that’s still a relative URL.) Try using “file:///path/to/my/image.gif”. —Jens |

Do the path components have the correct case if the image is on a case-sensitive volume?Yes, they have. And yes, the volume is case-sensitive. Also, both: [ self.webView loadHTMLString: htmlString baseURL: nil ]; and [ self.webView loadHTMLString: htmlString baseURL: urlTo “/“ ]; give the same result. On Oct 6, 2017, at 7:58 AM, Gerriet M.

A couple of things I notice: 1. You seem to be trying several variants on the base or full file URLs without success. Are you generating the paths via NSURL so that they are formatted correctly?
This URL could be passed to -loadHTMLString:baseURL: or you could use baseURL.absoluteString when generating the <base href…>. 2. If your PicturesFolder is contained within a directory in one of the known domains, are you using NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains() to generate that portion of the base URL path and then appending subdirectory components using -stringByAppendingPathComponent: repeatedly to build the full path? If you are making an assumption about where those folders are created then that could be biting you if you made the wrong assumption. 3. The <img> src of "./image67.gif" looks weird to me. I would expect that "image67.gif" would work since the base URL already provides the partial URL to the directory containing that image.

I change an iOS app from UIWebView to WKWebView.
1. The Simulator (iPhone SE) complains: could not create directory “/Volumes/à¹à¸¡à¹à¸/Users/gerriet/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Devices/77[…]CC/data/Containers/Data/Application/8A2[…]5E/Library/Caches/de.mdenkmann.gThai/WebKit/OfflineWebApplicationCache” for future sandbox extension, error Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=513 "You don’t have permission to save the file “OfflineWebApplicationCache” in the folder “WebKit”." There certainly is no such thing as: “/Volumes/à¹à¸¡à¹à¸/“, but it seems to be working nevertheless. Both in Simulator and device (iPhone SE) : 2. everything is extremely small: 18 pt. text looks like 6 pt. Probably could be fixed by modifying the css-stuff, multiplying everything by 3. 3. but, same as in macOS, there are no images - just a box with the alt-text. Gerriet. |
