• Laravel Mix Version: 6.0.49

• OS: Ubuntu

Description:

CSS with SVG is removed when running production.

Original CSS:

body { background-image: url("data:image/svg+xml,<svg id='patternId' width='100%' height='100%' xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'><defs><pattern id='a' patternUnits='userSpaceOnUse' width='69.141' height='40' patternTransform='scale(0.75) rotate(45)'><rect x='0' y='0' width='100%' height='100%' fill='hsla(0,0%,100%,1)'/><path d='M69.212 40H46.118L34.57 20 46.118 0h23.094l11.547 20zM57.665 60H34.57L23.023 40 34.57 20h23.095l11.547 20zm0-40H34.57L23.023 0 34.57-20h23.095L69.212 0zM34.57 60H11.476L-.07 40l11.547-20h23.095l11.547 20zm0-40H11.476L-.07 0l11.547-20h23.095L46.118 0zM23.023 40H-.07l-11.547-20L-.07 0h23.094L34.57 20z' stroke-width='1' stroke='hsla(46, 100%, 38%, 0.28)' fill='none'/></pattern></defs><rect width='800%' height='800%' transform='translate(0,0)' fill='url(%23a)'/></svg>"); }

After mix production:

body { background-image: url(data:image/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><rect width="800%" height="800%" fill="url(%23a)"/></svg>); }

Is there a setting so that mix won't remove the SVG information? Or is this a bug in mix?

Steps To Reproduce:

Running npx mix --production removes the SVG code.
