Publish is missing link in output

Author: robgonnellaCreated Feb 15, 2026Updated Sep 9, 2026

Describe the bug I had previously published a gif successfully and received a link for my README. I recently made changes to the project and wanted to regenerate and re-publish the new gif; however, when I run publish I now get the following output, which is missing a link:

  Share your GIF with Markdown:
  ![Made with VHS]()

  Or HTML (with badge):
  <img src="" alt="Made with VHS">
  <a href="https://vhs.charm.sh">
    <img src="https://stuff.charm.sh/vhs/badge.svg">
  </a>

  Or link to it:

I have tried using both vhs --publish <path_to_cassette> and vhs publish <path_to_gif>.

One thing to note is that I also recently upgraded my MacOS from 26.2 to 26.3. I tried uninstalling vhs and dependencies and re-installing but got the same result. FWIW regenerating the gif seems fine. I am able to preview the generated gif without issue.

Setup Please complete the following information along with version numbers, if applicable.

  • OS: MacOS Tahoe 26.3
  • Shell: zsh
  • Terminal Emulator: Ghostty
  • Terminal Multiplexer: Zellij
