Doesn't update <use /> tag "href" attribute when `renumerateIRIElements` is true

[bodasooqa]

I have the code in my svg:

<svg ...>
  <path ... />
  <defs>
    <path id="refresh" ... />
    <clipPath id="refresh-clip">
      <use href="#refresh" />
    </clipPath>
  </defs>
  <g clip-path="url(#refresh-clip)">
    ...
  </g>
</svg>

And as a result ids and clip-path are updated: refresh-1, refresh-clip-2, url(#refresh-clip-2), but href attribute of <use /> is still #refresh

Thanks for the report. Can you please create a working repro I can look at by forking the basic usage example?

@bodasooqa I just ran into the same issue today as well. Took me a while to find out why some part of my svg is not showing. Good to know I am not the only one who had ran into this issue. Thanks for bringing this up.

@tanem Thanks for maintaining ReactSVG. I think I can provide some information that would help reproduce this issue.

Here is the original svg file I am using:

before.svg

After transpiled by ReactSVG, some part of it can not be displayed:

after.svg

This is how I use ReactSVG in my code:

import { ReactSVG } from "react-svg"; // Using "react-svg": "^16.1.31",

export default function App() {
  return <ReactSVG src="/before.svg" />; // I didn't set any props. Just use it in the default way
}

The reason I found:

the <path id="clipper"> tag is renamed to <path id="clipper-6">
however the <use href="#clipper"> tag is not updated to <use href="#clipper-6"> .
Please see after.svg:

The before.svg in plain text for reference:

<svg width="500" height="500"
    viewBox="0 0 500 500"

</svg>

Hope this would help.

is there any solutions for this, i have the some problem with this too, i make temporal solution, set renumerateIRIElements to true and working for me

[tanem]

Hey all. Unfortunately this is a long-standing bug in a key dependency of this repo. One workaround is to set renumerateIRIElements={false} (it's true by default).

If I get the chance to sort the issue in that repo, I'll update this thread.
