[SpecFlow+ LivingDoc] Embedding images from repo in feature files

In the below documentation it is mentioned that it is possible to embed images in your feature files.

https://docs.specflow.org/projects/specflow-livingdoc/en/latest/Generating/Markdown-and-Embedding-Images.html

 

However, I can't get this to work within Azure DevOps. I've tried adding images on the same level as the feature files, but also in a subfolder. And I've also tried different paths (relative and absolute) to the images, but nothing seems to work.

I see the following broken image link in all cases:

If I look at the source of the image, I see the following URL:

https://dev.azure.com/{organization}/{project}/_apis/git/repositories/{repositoryId}/items?api-version=1.0&scopePath={pathToImage}&versionType=Branch&version=refs/pull/7544/merge

And if I go to that URL, I get the following error:

So it seems that the way of referring to the branch is not correct. Is this a bug in the LivingDoc plugin? Is there a workaround?

NB: Externally published images using a URL do work though.

  Noticed this issue as well. Would be really helpful to be able to show images within DevOps.

  Does it work in your master branch? The error is from a pull request.

  No, that doesn't work either. I still get a broken image link.

  However, I don't receive the error anymore if I open the (broken) image link in a new tab. But I'm not getting the image that I want either, just a small white image:

  

   

  The source of the image from the LivingDoc now looks like this:

  https://dev.azure.com/{organization}/{project}/_apis/git/repositories/{repositoryId}/items?api-version=1.0&scopePath={pathToImage}&versionType=Branch&version=master

   

  The {pathToImage} is the same if I navigate to the image in Azure DevOps using Repos - Files. The URL then looks like this with the same {pathToImage}:

  https://dev.azure.com/{organization}/_git/{project}?path={pathToImage}
