My game runs perfectly fine when run in the editor, but the exported version can’t read the JSON file.
The relevant code:
func load_dict(name):
var dict := {}
var fp = "res://maps/%s.json" % name
dir_contents("res://maps")
var file = File.new()
if not file.file_exists(fp):
print("File not found: ", fp )
else:
print('File found: ', fp)
file.open(fp, file.READ)
var text = file.get_as_text()
dict = parse_json(text)
file.close()
return dict
func dir_contents(path):
var dir = Directory.new()
if dir.open(path) == OK:
dir.list_dir_begin()
var file_name = dir.get_next()
while file_name != "":
if dir.current_is_dir():
print("Found directory: " + file_name)
else:
print("Found file: " + file_name)
file_name = dir.get_next()
else:
print("An error occurred when trying to access the path.")
Export filters:
*.json
Found file: phandalin.json.import
File not found: res://maps/phandalin.json
ERROR: File must be opened before use.
At: core/bind/core_bind.cpp:2126
ERROR: call: Error parsing JSON at line 0:
At: modules/gdscript/gdscript_functions.cpp:1268
SCRIPT ERROR: load_dict: Trying to assign value of type 'Nil' to a variable of type 'Dictionary'.
At: res://scripts/world.gdc:175
No such errors appear when running the game from the editor.
The function dir_contents is for debugging purposes and isn’t used anywhere else.
The line res://scripts/world.gdc:175 refers to dict = parse_json(text)
Any help would be very appreciated. Thank you in advance!
I’m especially confused that the .json.import is exported but the original .json is not.

I believe you have to read res://maps/%s.json.import (I had the same problem once).
I’m not sure I understand why though…
Edit: you have to use the ResourceLoader, see the relevant doc (litterally the first part of the page)!
