Output Generation "Warning: Favicon undefined is not an image" what is this and where?

My HTML5 Output Generation is producing in its warning log:

"Warning: Favicon undefined is not an image"

It does not explain what this means, and much worse, it gives no further detail about the file name involved, and a line number where the problem occurs.

That is a nearly useless Warning or Error message. Adobe, please fix ASAP by having every Warning or Error message state: the related file and line number stated as a minimum, and have an explanation of the warning or error somewhere.

Correct answer Jamil29463960jwf2

Any idea what causes the warning message in the HTML5 Output Log file, repeated two times in a row:

Warning: Skipped copying external file "C:/Users/john/Documents//output/atus.htm"

Answer: two references to the file atus.htm where the references are not typed correctly:

type: //atus.htm

as opposed to: atus.htm

So it is generating OK now?

The most common source of warnings is where a link is to something that is not part of the project. See Item 8 in RoboHelp Gems.

No "lines highlighted yellow"!

But before the Favicon was added, the warning line I stated was present and highlighted in yellow.

For others stumbling across this thread - "It means either you haven't defined a Favicon, which is fine if you don't want one, or what you have defined is not a valid image."

Solution turns out to be:

1. Select: Output Preset of HTML5.

2. Select "General" Tab

3. select an image for the Favicon field.

The "warning" is gone from inside the Log file, but the finished generated dialog image shown below still says there still is "some warnings", when none exist inside the Log file.

Are there not some lines highlighted yellow?
