Web editor: saving of seemingly everything is completely broken

[hikari-no-yume]

Godot version

v4.1.1.stable.official

System information

Happens in:

• Firefox 117.0.1 (64-bit) on Windows 10
• Chrome 116.0.5845.188 on Windows 10

Issue description

Trying to save files within /home/web_user does not work. Trying to load the file after saving it will always fail.

The files show up in some places:

• The window where you select a project (but the project is "missing")
• The load and save dialogs

But not in others:

• The "File System"* panel
• Quick Load

This affects many types of files, e.g.:

• Scenes (see below)
• The project (shows up as missing)
• Scripts
• Changing language does not work
• Mesh resources (though caching may obfuscate this)
• Textures

This is enough to make the web editor almost completely useless.

Steps to reproduce

1. Go to https://editor.godotengine.org/releases/latest/
2. Click "Start Godot Editor"
3. Click "New Project"*
4. Click "Create Directory"*
5. Click "Create and Edit"*
6. In the "Scene"* panel, under "Create Root Node:"*, click "3D Scene"
7. In the "Scene"* menu, click "Save Scene"*
8. Click "Save"*
9. In the "Scene"* menu, click "Reload Saved Scene"

You should then get this error:

"Can't open file 'node_3d.tscn'. The file could have been moved or deleted." error.

You can also try to run the game, which fails because there is no default scene, and you can't set a default scene because saving does not work.

* I can only guess what the English version is, since changing the language from Swedish to English does not work despite restarting several times.

Can confirm this is also broken in Chrome 116.0.5845.188 for me. Same OS.

4.0.stable works. 4.1.stable does not. So it's a regression between 4.0 and 4.1.

4.2.dev.4 does not seem to be affected. So it has already been fixed.

This is probably another dupe of #79594?

I would like to suggest that editor.godotengine.org should not default to 4.1.0, because it will give users a very bad impression of Godot.

Personally, using the web editor everyday, defaulting to 4.0.stable. It is the one that doesn’t have the axis sticking issue and it fixed this issue along with the import issue.

We "fixed" the issue by changing editor.godotengine.org's default version (latest) to point to 4.2-dev5, which doesn't have this issue.

This issue should be fixed in 4.1.2 once #79866 is cherry-picked.

@akien-mga Thanks, that's exactly what I wanted. Should I close this, or would you prefer I leave it open?

This issue should be fixed in 4.1.2 once #79866 is cherry-picked.

The problem with using 4.2dev5 is that dev4 and dev5 have a sticking axis problem with keyboard. (This causes problems with the editor camera and wasd movement.) That is why I suggested 4.0.stable.

Closing, as this is resolved in master.
