JSON SharePoint list view - background-image doest not work

Question

I found in documentation that "background-image" is supported attribute but I am not able to use it. Maybe I am doing something wrong. Could you help please, how to use "background-image" within JSON code?

Example:

{
    "elmType": "div",
    "style": {
        "text-align": "left",
        "background-image": "url('https://test.sharepoint.com/sites/TEST/SiteAssets/company_logo.png')"
    }
...

Thank you,

Mirek

This is expected behavior.

Currently style properties cannot have any of the following characters: (, :, &, ;, !.

If you will add "debugMode": "true" to your JSON code, you can see the error message like below in browser's console:
