Hey all,

I have a game which loads json data files, which are located under res://. When debugging on my computer (windows), it handles this completely fine. However, when I attempt to run the game on android, it crashes. Using the android emulator and adb logcat, i get the following:

godot : **ERROR**: File must be opened before use. godot : At: core/bind/core_bind.cpp:2023:get_as_text() - Condition "!f" is true. Returned: String() godot : **ERROR**: Error parsing JSON at line 0: godot : At: core/bind/core_bind.cpp:3220:parse() - Error parsing JSON at line 0: godot : **ERROR**: File must be opened before use. godot : At: core/bind/core_bind.cpp:2023:get_as_text() - Condition "!f" is true. Returned: String() godot : **ERROR**: Error parsing JSON at line 0: godot : At: core/bind/core_bind.cpp:3220:parse() - Error parsing JSON at line 0: godot : **ERROR**: File must be opened before use. godot : At: core/bind/core_bind.cpp:2023:get_as_text() - Condition "!f" is true. Returned: String() godot : **ERROR**: Error parsing JSON at line 0: otengine.gamen: System.exit called, status: 0 AndroidRuntime: VM exiting with result code 0, cleanup skipped.
It's most likely irrelevant, but the error repeated itself a lot more times than I included--I just stripped out most of the repetitions for brevity's sake.

After searching up similar problems with android, apparently the difference between case-insensitive filepaths in windows and case-sensitive filepaths in android is the primary cause of android crashes. However, I am nearly certain that all of my filepaths are correct, and the error messages (at least to me), don't seem to point towards a filepath issue.

Does anybody know what else might be causing this issue? Any help is appreciated.

Did you specify *.json in the non-resource export filter in the Android export preset?

I didn't, everything works perfectly after adding *.json and *.txt to my non-resource export filter. Thanks a lot!
