Bug: Resolver ignores `resolution` of asset in v8? about pixijs

[GoodBoyDigital]

heya! thankyou for posting, Im not sure .json extension is considered a valid image format?

[GoodBoyDigital]

if the names were changed from textures/house/[email protected] -> textures/house/[email protected] do things work as expect? Thank you for checking!

it looks like you are using assetpack, so I think you need to add a json resolver so pixi can tell what resolution it is
There is a small section of docs about it here

and here is the code snippet

import { Resolver, extensions, resolveTextureUrl, ResolveURLParser, ExtensionType } from 'pixi.js';

export const resolveJsonUrl = {
    extension: ExtensionType.ResolveParser,
    test: (value: string): boolean =>
        Resolver.RETINA_PREFIX.test(value) && value.endsWith('.json'),
    parse: resolveTextureUrl.parse,
} as ResolveURLParser;

extensions.add(resolveJsonUrl);

it is also interesting that this worked in v7 but not v8. I dont believe much was changed between the two versions when it comes to assets

@Zyie's solution works. I think where I got side-tracked is that back when I was attempting to use assetpack with Pixi.js, after extensive debugging I realized that resolutions were not being considered because assetpack would output names such as [email protected] instead of [email protected], which is the only pattern that Pixi v7 would recognize. That's why I modified assetpack to support this, but such modification may not make sense anymore in light of the ability to add a custom resolver.

It may be worth documenting whether the above approach works with both v7 and v8, or only with v8.

I've added the json resolver by default now, so hopefully all is fixed
