Cannot load assets during runtime.

[glintfishGH]

When trying to add an asset to a scene during runtime with assets.addSound (or just assets.add), it fails to load the asset.

Code for a repro:

class MainScene extends Scene {
    override function preload() {
		// These work normally.
        var sounds = [Sounds.MUSIC__T5___TIAMAT, Sounds.MUSIC__T5___TIAMAT];
        for (sound in sounds) {
            assets.add(sound);
        }
    }

    override function update(delta:Float) {
        if (status != PRELOAD) {
            checkForNewSong();
        }
    }

    /**
     * Scans the `assets/music` directory for new files
     */
    function checkForNewSong() {
        for (song in sys.FileSystem.readDirectory("assets/music")) {
            // Removes file extension.
            var _song = song.split(".")[0];

            // Checking if this asset exists in the assets object. Feel like a function for this should exist.
            // If it doesn't exist (or is null), then we found a new sound to load.
            if (@:privateAccess assets.assetsByKindAndName.get("sound").get('music/$_song') == null) {
                log.info('Found song $song');
                addSound(song);
            }
        }
    }

    function addSound(sound:String) {
        var _sound = sound.split(".")[0]; // Removes file extension.
        var id = 'sound:music/$_sound';

        assets.addSound(id);
        assets.load(); // Line 42
    }
}

After calling addSound, I get the following in my error log

Failed to load audio at path: music/Kunst 		ceramic/SoundAsset:112
Failed to load asset music/Kunst (SoundAsset(music/Kunst music/Kunst)) 		MainScene:42

Heres a video showcasing the issue.

A few things:

• were the assets you add afterwards at runtime already in the assets directory of your Ceramic project when building or not?

• If yes, you can list assets using Assets.allAssets. You don’t need to use file system for that

• If no, your code will indeed not work as you’ll need to use RuntimeAssets to discover additional assets that didn’t exist at build time
