Can you reproduce this when exporting the project to a native (non-web) platform?

[vickylance]

@Calinou Ok so I just tested it for macos export and I see the same issue in that as well. But its working when played in editor.

Is it a known bug? I am u able to find any other similar bugs in the issues

This may or may not be a bug, but the project is too large to be considered minimal. Can you create a minimal reproduction project with just one scene and one custom resource?

[vickylance]

@Calinou Created a minimal reproducable bug repo - https://github.com/vickylance/CustomResourceExportBug
Having custom resource and exporting is crashing on the exported build

[Calinou]

• Related to Exported node arrays only work when debugging in the editor, but not with exported projects #77641.

[vickylance]

Reproducible in Godot 4.1.dev4 as well

@Calinou This is basically not working with any Custom Resource type itself.Created an even simpler project without any custom classes and only a single String in the Resource and it still failing on exported builds.

Bare minimum reproducible project - Test.zip

This is not a bug. You are attempting to use DirAccess to access the Exported file structure and automatedly collect all the Access Paths for your resources. This is not a great way to create an automated "res://" Array or Dictionary of the Resources in your project. The fast fix is to catch for the ".remap" file extension, and remove it.

This is a very dirty fast way to do this:

while file_name != "":
	print_debug(file_name) # human visual on file name found, remove for production
	if file_name.ends_with(".remap"):
		file_name = file_name.replace(".remap", "")
	if not dir.current_is_dir():

Fwiw your fast and dirty way does the trick. For custom text resources, flipping this setting works as well. https://docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/classes/class_projectsettings.html#class-projectsettings-property-editor-export-convert-text-resources-to-binary

This won't work if you're scanning for binary files however. E.g. images will need a "replace-job" on ",import".

Clearly this isn't the way; but is there a way at all to approach this? ResourceLoader doesn't have any scan capabilities.

I think this issue can be closed because now we have ResourceLoader.list_directory after pr #96590

[Calinou]

This was implemented by #96590, closing.
