How do I fix Parse Error: Identifier "File" not declared in the current scope?

0 votes

I took the BeepSaber game, originally written for Godot 3.2 and converted it to Godot4 format using a recent build of Godot trunk. When I try to run the game, I get many gdscript errors. In the latest GDScript Reference, I see that the class File still exists.
So I think those errors will be fixed when adding a "extends Node" to the beginning of each file. Is this correct?
