In Godot, the assert will not execute after the game is exported as a release version.

[Achang0611]

Program execution statements should not be placed inside an alert; otherwise, the program will not execute in the release version.

Expected Behavior

The item images are displayed in the release version of the game.

---

Current Behavior

I found that the "item" images in my game disappeared in the release version, while other images displayed normally. After debugging, I discovered that in the parse function of ItemProtoset, test_json_conv.data was not null in the debug version but was null in the release version. Then, outputting test_json_conv.parse(json) == OK returned true, indicating that the JSON parsed correctly.

---

Possible Solution

• Next, I changed the original code snippet at item_protoset.gd

  assert(test_json_conv.parse(json) == OK, "Failed to parse JSON!")

  to the revised code snippet:

  var error = test_json_conv.parse(json)
  assert(error == OK, "Failed to parse JSON!")

The game then displayed item images correctly in the release version.

I apologize for the typo; please consider "alert" as "assert".

Many inventory operations were also affected by this issue, and I manually replaced all assert statements with the revised operation mentioned above. The game is now running smoothly.

This is a very good point, I think there's a lot of bad assert usage in the code. I'll have to go through all of them and make corrections.
