Tested versions

4.2.2 stable

System information

Godot v4.2.2.stable - Windows 10.0.22621 - GLES3 (Compatibility)

Issue description

The add-on instantiate AddonControl (which inherits from Control) and add it to the dock. AddonControl define a _ready and initialize function, the first calls the later, in the source.

When running the AddonControl scene in via (F6) the scene works properly, but running the add-on triggers res://addons/BugIsHere/addon_main.gd:17 - Invalid call. Nonexistent function 'initialize' in base 'Control (AddonControl)'.

The Facts:

.has_method("initialize") returns true on the instance of AddonControl
The _ready function seems to not be called at all

See "BUG" comments in the project

Steps to reproduce

Enable the plugin

Oddly setting the texture directly in the _enter_tree function works (_ready is never called!)

addon_control.get_node("TextureRect").texture = AddonUtils.get_first_image_texture()

(get_first_image_texture use the same code as initialize but return the texture)

The other gdscript files need to start with @tool to run in the editor.

Thanks a lot. It also solved the error about "Nonexistent function"
