After reproducing this error using the provided markdown I initially received the same results, although I noticed that after reloading the window (View > Developer > Reload Window) the relative links began working as expected. If you reload the window do you get this same behavior?
If so, I can try to look a little deeper and see if I can pinpoint what could be causing this issue.

Same problem here, images not shown in markdown preview.
After reproducing this issue I reload the window (View > Developer > Reload Window) and continue to get this same behavior.

I had the same problem in Atom 1.21.1, I fixed it by uninstalling and re-installing version 1.21.0 instead.

View > Developer > Reload Window did not solve the problem.

[jiaweim]

I had the same problem, and I fixed with by restart Atom,

After seeing @ckarras comment, I tried the same markdown example on another computer that has v1.19 installed and can confirm that I didn't run into this issue.

I can confirm that downgrading to 1.21.0 solved the problem for me as well.
When on 1.21.1 I used the inspector and I can add to the topic, that the image path was stating something like file:///Applications/Atom.app/Contents/Resources/app.asar/static/[relative path to image] as far a I remember. I might be wrong, but it might help debugging, maybe.

Thanks for the reports everyone, I can reproduce as well with 1.21.1 on macOS 10.12.6 (but not on 1.21.0), I'll ask the team to take a look.

[ckarras]

Thanks for looking at this. Until this is resolved, is there a way to disable automatic updates of Atom? Every time I restart it, I see it has been upgraded to 1.21.1 (and the problem re-appears) and I have to re-downgrade it every time (which resolves the problem).

@ckarras You can disable automatic updates from the About screen, accessible via the Application: About command in the command palette. Just uncheck the box.

I'll be looking into this this afternoon and once I find the fix, I plan to release a hotfix. Sorry for the trouble everyone.

[nathansobo]

This will be fixed in 1.21.2, which should be out soon.

[samuela]

Thanks @nathansobo !
