Creating a new Gradient2D resource shows up as pink

[Burloe]

Tested versions

4.3 beta1

System information

Godot v4.3.beta2 - Windows 10.0.19045 - Vulkan (Forward+) - dedicated NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 (NVIDIA; 31.0.15.3742) - Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-6700K CPU @ 4.00GHz (8 Threads)

Issue description

Creating a new GradientTexture2D creates a solid pink texture despite the gradient being the default black-white. Making any changes to the gradient fixes it.

Steps to reproduce

New project > Add Sprite2D > Add new GradientTexture2D as the texture

Can't reproduce in beta2. Please provide full system information, you can copy them from Help -> Copy System Information. Also, what renderer are you using in your project?

Sure thing. This happened just recently and I can say my computer is rather old at this point. I wouldn't be surprised if it's a hardware issue or something.

It's not a hardware issue (you have better specs than mine 🙃). Maybe driver bug or something.

[Burloe]

I tried to update my drivers and rebooted and I still get the solid pink gradient. I didn't mean to say my specs were bad 😅 They're almost 9 years old now so I wouldn't be surprised if something's starting to fail at this point. If all signs points toward an issue with my machine. There's not much to do. Want me to close this?

[KoBeWi]

I think it can be open for now, in case someone has the same issue. Though you could check if you see this bug in older versions.

[Burloe]

Alright. I tried it on 3.5.2, 4.0.2, 4.1 and 4.2. Only occured on 4.3beta2 👍 (sorry, mistyped beta1 when it shoúld be beta2)

I did some test and i can reproduce this issue, looks like a regression between v4.2.dev3.official [013e8e3af] and v4.2.dev4.official [549fcce5f]. This bug seems a little tricky because sometimes not happen, but i was able to reliable trigger setting the texture to GradientTexture1D first and after setting to GradienTexturet2D, doing that 1~3 times is enough to trigger the bug.

The v4.3.beta2.official [b75f0485b] can reproduce this bug too:

Also when i close godot after reproduce the bug the console prints an error and a warning (the amount of RID's vary accordingly the amount of times i reproduce the bug):

ERROR: 7 RID allocations of type 'N10RendererRD14TextureStorage7TextureE' were leaked at exit.
WARNING: 14 RIDs of type "Texture" were leaked.
     at: finalize (drivers/vulkan/rendering_device_vulkan.cpp:9655)

I tried to bisect but i can't reproduce this issue on my self compiled versions using MSVC or MinGw as compiler with dev_build=yes. @KoBeWi you know what compiler and what args are used to compile official releases?

[KoBeWi]

AFAIK official builds use production=yes.

[matheusmdx]

AFAIK official builds use production=yes.

Thanks, using that i was able to reproduce the bug in my compiled versions

Bisecting points to #81137 as the culprit:

[KoBeWi]

I can't reproduce it no matter how many times I try:

i wondering if it maybe has something to do with how emit_changed() is no longer being called after _update finishes https://github.com/godotengine/godot/pull/81137/files#diff-07c3cddd56772030a7fc531ae661b56edebe1c566c741b0921ef49b4671c88cdL143-L144 https://github.com/godotengine/godot/pull/81137/files#diff-07c3cddd56772030a7fc531ae661b56edebe1c566c741b0921ef49b4671c88cdL268

but these const_casts (grrrr) are wayy more sus bc of how the bug only happens on an optimized build

if thats the problem, then it could be solved by making update_pending mutable (texture is already mutable) then making update_now and _update const then removing the const_cast (grr)

I tested yesterday and i can confirm commenting this line stops the bug
