It seems like this error doesn't appear if your theme is Online Store 2.0 compatible (dawn)

+1 here, struggling to get my site's swatch/radio buttons to link to the images even after adding and pushing the missing assets to the theme. on the latest version of cli as well.

Oh that's interesting, thanks for the observation @dgtlmonk. I hope that doesn't mean that Shopify will give this a low priority though. Working with non Online Store 2.0 themes is still going to be a part of the workflow for developers for a long time. Heck we even have some clients with themes so old they don't even use sections at all!

It would be frustrating to have to switch between themekit and cli for these different scenarios.

[dspeake]

It appears to be related to the files themselves. For the store I have an issue with, I just uploaded Dawn and pulled the theme successfully. When I uploaded password.jpg to that same theme though, the error returns for that file.

This is the image.

[fabiancpl]

Hi. Is there a way to deal with this problem?

[lesterdefreitas]

@fabiancpl This solution does seem to work for now. It's not ideal of course but it seems to be the only way for now to deal with this problem when it arises.

[aodreman]

I am getting the same error with password.jpg, which is a file that comes with the theme, this is happening with the initial pull.

[DavidWaters-AP]

I found another workaround.. but still testing it. Like many above, I could not do a pull request without a boatload of asset parameter issues.. I tried the various 'solutions' linked above but none resolved the problem.. So to get this working correctly I download the theme direct from Shopify using the theme export function and then unzipped the theme to my development folder and did a CLI push of the downloaded theme back up to Shopify. I can now do pull requests without the asset issues. However, if you add an app you may need to re-export the Shopify theme and do the process again to get this to work again and again.

[austinhutchison]

I have this issue as well for images and fonts in the assets folder

When trying the solution in 1361 it stalled on 99% on the first attempt, and then on the second attempt gave the same error.

[adrianocr]

There are a lot of hacks being posted here but ideally Shopify should just fix this. It doesn't seem to me like there is a good reason for it failing to pull the items in the /assets/ dir.

In any case the easiest "hack" for this is to revert to themekit for the assets only.

cd [project-name] && rm -rf ./assets && theme download /assets/ --env=[YOUR RELEVANT ENV HERE]

Problem solved, themekit will download all the assets that shopify-cli failed to download and then you can revert to using shopify-cli from there on.

FWIW, I just upgraded shopify-cli from 2.2.2 to 2.3.0 and no longer see the previous errors I encountered. I can't say for sure this is what fixed it, though I hadn't done anything else so it seems to be the reason. YMMV, but it seems worth checking your version if you continue to see this issue.

@jgiordanoGG Oh that's awesome. My problem though is that I'm currently stuck on MacOS 10.13 and it doesn't look like I can update the cli to that version becuase it keeps throwing an error when trying to update one of the dependencies, openssl. By any chance does anyone have a solution for me on that one besides the obvious (getting a new computer)? 😅

[austinhutchison]

Updating to 2.3.0 worked for me!

@lesterdefreitas I can't say for sure but you could try updating 2.2.2 with the changes made in the PR here: https://github.com/Shopify/shopify-cli/pull/1319

[lesterdefreitas]

@austinhutchison Hmm, could be worth a try. Would you happen to know the default installation location for shopify-cli on mac? I installed via Homebrew.

updated to 2.4 and error gone.

[trev-dev]

I spent some time with shopify-cli 2.4 myself here and was also able to work without this issue. It's good to keep your gems up-to-date :)

Closing this for now.
