Images Not Displaying for Configurable Products on Fresh Magento 2.4.4-p6-9 Installs

[JonathanHelvey]

Preconditions and environment

1. Magento Version: Magento 2.4.4-p6-9
2. Sample Data: Installed using php bin/magento sampledata:deploy
3. Installation Type: Fresh installation
4. Operating System: macOS
5. Web Server: Apache (installed via MAMP)
6. PHP Version: PHP 8.1
7. Database: MySQL
8. Environment: Development environment using MAMP
9. Browser: Tested on Google Chrome
10. Additional Modules Installed: No additional modules apart from sample data.

Steps to reproduce

1. Set up a fresh instance of Magento 2.4.4-p8 using MAMP on a local environment.
2. Install sample data using the command: php bin/magento sampledata:deploy.
3. Run php bin/magento set up:upgrade and php bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy.
4. Verify that product images are stored in the wrong path pub/media/catalog/catalog/product.
5. Move the images to the correct folder path from pub/media/catalog/catalog/product to pub/media/catalog/product.
6. php bin/magento catalog:images:resize php bin/magento indexer:reindex cache:clean Check the Magento Admin and Frontend for product images.
7. Notice that images for simple products appear correctly, but images for configurable products do not.

Expected result

• images should be stored in the correct folder path pub/media/catalog/product.
• All product images, including those for configurable products, should display correctly in both the admin and frontend after deploying sample data.

Actual result

• After php bin/magento sampledata:deploy images populate to the wrong folder path, to pub/media/catalog/catalog/product.
• Images for simple products display correctly after resizing.
• Images for configurable products do not display in either the admin or frontend after deploying sample data and resizing.

Additional information

• This issue was observed immediately following a fresh installation of Magento 2.4.4-p8 and installing sample data. It appears that the sample data deployment process might be creating incorrect paths or failing to map images correctly to configurable products.
• A workaround involves manually associating the missing images via CSV import or manually adding images from the pub media, which is impractical for a large catalog.

images should be stored in the correct folder path pub/media/catalog/product.All product images, including those for configurable products, should display correctly in both the admin and frontend after deploying sample data.
