# Objective
- Today, enabling asset processing can generate many meta files. This
makes it a painful transition for users as they get a "mega commit"
containing tons of meta files.
## Solution
- Stop automatically generating meta files! Users can just leave the
meta files defaulted.
- Add a function `AssetServer::write_default_meta_file_for_path`
## Testing
- Tested this manually on the asset_processing example (by removing the
meta files for the assets that had default meta files).
- I did not add a unit test for the `write_default_meta_file_for_path`
since we don't have an in-memory asset writer. Writing one could be
useful in the future.
---
## Showcase
Asset processing no longer automatically generates meta files! This
makes it much easier to transition to using asset processing since you
don't suddenly get many meta files when turning it on.
You can still manually generate meta files using the new
`AssetServer::write_default_meta_file_for_path` function.
# Objective
- Fixes#17960
## Solution
- Followed the [edition upgrade
guide](https://doc.rust-lang.org/edition-guide/editions/transitioning-an-existing-project-to-a-new-edition.html)
## Testing
- CI

## Summary of Changes
### Documentation Indentation
When using lists in documentation, proper indentation is now linted for.
This means subsequent lines within the same list item must start at the
same indentation level as the item.
```rust
/* Valid */
/// - Item 1
/// Run-on sentence.
/// - Item 2
struct Foo;
/* Invalid */
/// - Item 1
/// Run-on sentence.
/// - Item 2
struct Foo;
```
### Implicit `!` to `()` Conversion
`!` (the never return type, returned by `panic!`, etc.) no longer
implicitly converts to `()`. This is particularly painful for systems
with `todo!` or `panic!` statements, as they will no longer be functions
returning `()` (or `Result<()>`), making them invalid systems for
functions like `add_systems`. The ideal fix would be to accept functions
returning `!` (or rather, _not_ returning), but this is blocked on the
[stabilisation of the `!` type
itself](https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/primitive.never.html), which is
not done.
The "simple" fix would be to add an explicit `-> ()` to system
signatures (e.g., `|| { todo!() }` becomes `|| -> () { todo!() }`).
However, this is _also_ banned, as there is an existing lint which (IMO,
incorrectly) marks this as an unnecessary annotation.
So, the "fix" (read: workaround) is to put these kinds of `|| -> ! { ...
}` closuers into variables and give the variable an explicit type (e.g.,
`fn()`).
```rust
// Valid
let system: fn() = || todo!("Not implemented yet!");
app.add_systems(..., system);
// Invalid
app.add_systems(..., || todo!("Not implemented yet!"));
```
### Temporary Variable Lifetimes
The order in which temporary variables are dropped has changed. The
simple fix here is _usually_ to just assign temporaries to a named
variable before use.
### `gen` is a keyword
We can no longer use the name `gen` as it is reserved for a future
generator syntax. This involved replacing uses of the name `gen` with
`r#gen` (the raw-identifier syntax).
### Formatting has changed
Use statements have had the order of imports changed, causing a
substantial +/-3,000 diff when applied. For now, I have opted-out of
this change by amending `rustfmt.toml`
```toml
style_edition = "2021"
```
This preserves the original formatting for now, reducing the size of
this PR. It would be a simple followup to update this to 2024 and run
`cargo fmt`.
### New `use<>` Opt-Out Syntax
Lifetimes are now implicitly included in RPIT types. There was a handful
of instances where it needed to be added to satisfy the borrow checker,
but there may be more cases where it _should_ be added to avoid
breakages in user code.
### `MyUnitStruct { .. }` is an invalid pattern
Previously, you could match against unit structs (and unit enum
variants) with a `{ .. }` destructuring. This is no longer valid.
### Pretty much every use of `ref` and `mut` are gone
Pattern binding has changed to the point where these terms are largely
unused now. They still serve a purpose, but it is far more niche now.
### `iter::repeat(...).take(...)` is bad
New lint recommends using the more explicit `iter::repeat_n(..., ...)`
instead.
## Migration Guide
The lifetimes of functions using return-position impl-trait (RPIT) are
likely _more_ conservative than they had been previously. If you
encounter lifetime issues with such a function, please create an issue
to investigate the addition of `+ use<...>`.
## Notes
- Check the individual commits for a clearer breakdown for what
_actually_ changed.

# Objective
`bevy_assets` has long been unapproachable for contributors and users.
More and better documentation would help that.
We're gradually moving towards globally denying missing docs (#3492)!
However, writing all of the hundreds of missing doc strings in a single
go will be miserable to review.
## Solution
Remove the allow for missing docs temporarily, and then pick some easy
missing doc warnings largely at random to tackle.
Stop when the change set is starting to feel intimidating.
# Objective
Fixes#15417.
## Solution
- Remove the `labeled_assets` fields from `LoadedAsset` and
`ErasedLoadedAsset`.
- Created new structs `CompleteLoadedAsset` and
`CompleteErasedLoadedAsset` to hold the `labeled_subassets`.
- When a subasset is `LoadContext::finish`ed, it produces a
`CompleteLoadedAsset`.
- When a `CompleteLoadedAsset` is added to a `LoadContext` (as a
subasset), their `labeled_assets` are merged, reporting any overlaps.
One important detail to note: nested subassets with overlapping names
could in theory have been used in the past for the purposes of asset
preprocessing. Even though there was no way to access these "shadowed"
nested subassets, asset preprocessing does get access to these nested
subassets. This does not seem like a case we should support though. It
is confusing at best.
## Testing
- This is just a refactor.
---
## Migration Guide
- Most uses of `LoadedAsset` and `ErasedLoadedAsset` should be replaced
with `CompleteLoadedAsset` and `CompleteErasedLoadedAsset` respectively.
# Objective
- Contributes to #16877
## Solution
- Moved `hashbrown`, `foldhash`, and related types out of `bevy_utils`
and into `bevy_platform_support`
- Refactored the above to match the layout of these types in `std`.
- Updated crates as required.
## Testing
- CI
---
## Migration Guide
- The following items were moved out of `bevy_utils` and into
`bevy_platform_support::hash`:
- `FixedState`
- `DefaultHasher`
- `RandomState`
- `FixedHasher`
- `Hashed`
- `PassHash`
- `PassHasher`
- `NoOpHash`
- The following items were moved out of `bevy_utils` and into
`bevy_platform_support::collections`:
- `HashMap`
- `HashSet`
- `bevy_utils::hashbrown` has been removed. Instead, import from
`bevy_platform_support::collections` _or_ take a dependency on
`hashbrown` directly.
- `bevy_utils::Entry` has been removed. Instead, import from
`bevy_platform_support::collections::hash_map` or
`bevy_platform_support::collections::hash_set` as appropriate.
- All of the above equally apply to `bevy::utils` and
`bevy::platform_support`.
## Notes
- I left `PreHashMap`, `PreHashMapExt`, and `TypeIdMap` in `bevy_utils`
as they might be candidates for micro-crating. They can always be moved
into `bevy_platform_support` at a later date if desired.
Makes use of `std` explicit, simplifying a possible `no_std` port.
# Objective
- Contributes to #15460
- Simplify future `no_std` work on `bevy_asset`
## Solution
- Add `#![no_std]` to switch to `core::prelude` instead of
`std::prelude`
## Testing
- CI
---
## Notes
This is entirely a change around the names of imports and has no impact
on functionality. This just reduces the quantity of changes involved in
the (likely more controversial) `no_std`-ification of `bevy_asset`.
# Objective
- https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/17111
## Solution
Set the `clippy::allow_attributes` and
`clippy::allow_attributes_without_reason` lints to `deny`, and bring
`bevy_asset` in line with the new restrictions.
No code changes have been made - except if a lint that was previously
`allow(...)`'d could be removed via small code changes. For example,
`unused_variables` can be handled by adding a `_` to the beginning of a
field's name.
## Testing
`cargo clippy` and `cargo test --package bevy_asset --features
multi_threaded` were run, and no errors were encountered.
# Objective
- Contributes to #11478
## Solution
- Made `bevy_utils::tracing` `doc(hidden)`
- Re-exported `tracing` from `bevy_log` for end-users
- Added `tracing` directly to crates that need it.
## Testing
- CI
---
## Migration Guide
If you were importing `tracing` via `bevy::utils::tracing`, instead use
`bevy::log::tracing`. Note that many items within `tracing` are also
directly re-exported from `bevy::log` as well, so you may only need
`bevy::log` for the most common items (e.g., `warn!`, `trace!`, etc.).
This also applies to the `log_once!` family of macros.
## Notes
- While this doesn't reduce the line-count in `bevy_utils`, it further
decouples the internal crates from `bevy_utils`, making its eventual
removal more feasible in the future.
- I have just imported `tracing` as we do for all dependencies. However,
a workspace dependency may be more appropriate for version management.
# Objective
- Related to https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/11478
## Solution
- Moved `futures.rs`, `ConditionalSend` `ConditionalSendFuture` and
`BoxedFuture` from `bevy_utils` to `bevy_tasks`.
## Testing
- CI checks
## Migration Guide
- Several modules were moved from `bevy_utils` into `bevy_tasks`:
- Replace `bevy_utils::futures` imports with `bevy_tasks::futures`.
- Replace `bevy_utils::ConditionalSend` with
`bevy_tasks::ConditionalSend`.
- Replace `bevy_utils::ConditionalSendFuture` with
`bevy_tasks::ConditionalSendFuture`.
- Replace `bevy_utils::BoxedFuture` with `bevy_tasks::BoxedFuture`.
# Objective
Fixes#16104
## Solution
I removed all instances of `:?` and put them back one by one where it
caused an error.
I removed some bevy_utils helper functions that were only used in 2
places and don't add value. See: #11478
## Testing
CI should catch the mistakes
## Migration Guide
`bevy::utils::{dbg,info,warn,error}` were removed. Use
`bevy::utils::tracing::{debug,info,warn,error}` instead.
---------

# Objective
Fixes#15485.
## Solution
Deletes the field! The `meta` field had no way to access or mutate it.
## Testing
- It builds!
---
## Migration Guide
- `ErasedAssetLoader` now takes a borrow to `AssetMetaDyn` instead of a
`Box`.
- `LoadedAsset::new_with_dependencies` no longer requires a `meta`
argument.
- `LoadContext::finish` no longer requires a `meta` argument.
# Objective
- Remove `derive_more`'s error derivation and replace it with
`thiserror`
## Solution
- Added `derive_more`'s `error` feature to `deny.toml` to prevent it
sneaking back in.
- Reverted to `thiserror` error derivation
## Notes
Merge conflicts were too numerous to revert the individual changes, so
this reversion was done manually. Please scrutinise carefully during
review.
# Objective
Bevy seems to want to standardize on "American English" spellings. Not
sure if this is laid out anywhere in writing, but see also #15947.
While perusing the docs for `typos`, I noticed that it has a `locale`
config option and tried it out.
## Solution
Switch to `en-us` locale in the `typos` config and run `typos -w`
## Migration Guide
The following methods or fields have been renamed from `*dependants*` to
`*dependents*`.
- `ProcessorAssetInfo::dependants`
- `ProcessorAssetInfos::add_dependant`
- `ProcessorAssetInfos::non_existent_dependants`
- `AssetInfo::dependants_waiting_on_load`
- `AssetInfo::dependants_waiting_on_recursive_dep_load`
- `AssetInfos::loader_dependants`
- `AssetInfos::remove_dependants_and_labels`
# Objective
Fixes#15541
A bunch of lifetimes were added during the Assets V2 rework, but after
moving to async traits in #12550 they can be elided. That PR mentions
that this might be the case, but apparently it wasn't followed up on at
the time.
~~I ended up grepping for `<'a` and finding a similar case in
`bevy_reflect` which I also fixed.~~ (edit: that one was needed
apparently)
Note that elided lifetimes are unstable in `impl Trait`. If that gets
stabilized then we can elide even more.
## Solution
Remove the extra lifetimes.
## Testing
Everything still compiles. If I have messed something up there is a
small risk that some user code stops compiling, but all the examples
still work at least.
---
## Migration Guide
The traits `AssetLoader`, `AssetSaver` and `Process` traits from
`bevy_asset` now use elided lifetimes. If you implement these then
remove the named lifetime.
# Objective
- Fixes#6370
- Closes#6581
## Solution
- Added the following lints to the workspace:
- `std_instead_of_core`
- `std_instead_of_alloc`
- `alloc_instead_of_core`
- Used `cargo +nightly fmt` with [item level use
formatting](https://rust-lang.github.io/rustfmt/?version=v1.6.0&search=#Item%5C%3A)
to split all `use` statements into single items.
- Used `cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets --all-features --fix
--allow-dirty` to _attempt_ to resolve the new linting issues, and
intervened where the lint was unable to resolve the issue automatically
(usually due to needing an `extern crate alloc;` statement in a crate
root).
- Manually removed certain uses of `std` where negative feature gating
prevented `--all-features` from finding the offending uses.
- Used `cargo +nightly fmt` with [crate level use
formatting](https://rust-lang.github.io/rustfmt/?version=v1.6.0&search=#Crate%5C%3A)
to re-merge all `use` statements matching Bevy's previous styling.
- Manually fixed cases where the `fmt` tool could not re-merge `use`
statements due to conditional compilation attributes.
## Testing
- Ran CI locally
## Migration Guide
The MSRV is now 1.81. Please update to this version or higher.
## Notes
- This is a _massive_ change to try and push through, which is why I've
outlined the semi-automatic steps I used to create this PR, in case this
fails and someone else tries again in the future.
- Making this change has no impact on user code, but does mean Bevy
contributors will be warned to use `core` and `alloc` instead of `std`
where possible.
- This lint is a critical first step towards investigating `no_std`
options for Bevy.

# Objective
> Rust 1.81 released the #[expect(...)] attribute, which works like
#[allow(...)] but throws a warning if the lint isn't raised. This is
preferred to #[allow(...)] because it tells us when it can be removed.
- Adopts the parts of #15118 that are complete, and updates the branch
so it can be merged.
- There were a few conflicts, let me know if I misjudged any of 'em.
Alice's
[recommendation](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/15059#issuecomment-2349263900)

- bevy_input
- bevy_gilrs
- bevy_window
- bevy_winit
- bevy_state
- bevy_render

# Objective
Asset processing (added as part of #8624) is a powerful, high-impact
feature, but has been widely underused (and underdeveloped) due to poor
developer understanding.
## Solution
In this PR, I've documented what asset processing is, why it's useful,
and pointed users to the two primary entry points.
While I would like substantially more involved practical examples for
how to perform common asset-processing tasks, I've split them out from
this PR for ease of review (and actually submitting this for review
before the weekend).
We should add bread crumbs from the module docs to these docs, but
whether we add that here or in #15056 depends on which gets merged
first.
---------

# Objective
- Fixes#15060
## Solution
- Added `IdentityAssetTransformer<A>` which is an `AssetTransformer`
which infallibly returns the input `Asset` unmodified.
- Replaced `LoadAndSave` and `LoadAndSaveSettings` with type definitions
linking back to `LoadTransformAndSave` and
`LoadTransformAndSaveSettings` respectively.
- Marked `LoadAndSave` and `LoadAndSaveSettings` as depreciated with a
migration guide included, hinting to the user to use the underlying type
instead.
## Testing
- Ran CI locally
---
## Migration Guide
- Replace `LoadAndSave<L, S>` with `LoadTransformAndSave<L,
IdentityAssetTransformer<<L as AssetLoader>::Asset>, S>`
- Replace `LoadAndSaveSettings<L, S>` with
`LoadTransformAndSaveSettings<L, (), S>`
# Objective
This PR makes `bevy_render` an optional dependency for `bevy_gizmos`,
thereby allowing `bevy_gizmos` to be used with alternative rendering
backend.
Previously `bevy_gizmos` assumes that one of `bevy_pbr` or `bevy_sprite`
will be enabled. Here we introduced a new feature named `bevy_render`
which disables all rendering-related code paths. An alternative renderer
will then take the `LineGizmo` assets (made public in this PR) and issue
draw calls on their own. A new field `config_ty` was added to
`LineGizmo` to help looking up the related configuration info.
---
## Migration Guide
No user-visible changes needed from the users.
# Objective
Fixes#12966
## Solution
Renaming multi_threaded feature to match snake case
## Migration Guide
Bevy feature multi-threaded should be refered to multi_threaded from now
on.
# Objective
As described in #12467, Bevy does not have any spans for any of the
tasks scheduled onto the IO and async compute task pools.
## Solution
Instrument all asset loads and asset processing. Since this change is
restricted to asset tasks, it does not completely solve #12467, but it
does mean we can record the asset path in the trace.
---
## Changelog
Tracing will now include spans for asset loading and asset processing.
# Objective
- Fixes#12976
## Solution
This one is a doozy.
- Run `cargo +beta clippy --workspace --all-targets --all-features` and
fix all issues
- This includes:
- Moving inner attributes to be outer attributes, when the item in
question has both inner and outer attributes
- Use `ptr::from_ref` in more scenarios
- Extend the valid idents list used by `clippy:doc_markdown` with more
names
- Use `Clone::clone_from` when possible
- Remove redundant `ron` import
- Add backticks to **so many** identifiers and items
- I'm sorry whoever has to review this
---
## Changelog
- Added links to more identifiers in documentation.
# Objective
For some asset loaders, it can be useful not to read the entire asset
file and just read a specific region of a file. For this, we need a way
to seek at a specific position inside the file
## Solution
I added support for `AsyncSeek` to `Reader`. In my case, I want to only
read a part of a file, and for that I need to seek to a specific point.
## Migration Guide
Every custom reader (which previously only needed the `AsyncRead` trait
implemented) now also needs to implement the `AsyncSeek` trait to add
the seek capability.
# Objective
get_asset_paths tries to check whether a folder is empty, and if so
delete it. However rather than checking whether any subfolder contains
files it checks whether _all_ subfolders have files.
Also cleanup various BoxedFutures in async recursive functions like
these, rust 1.77 now allows recursive async functions (albeit still by
boxing), hurray! This is a followup to #12550 (sorta). More BoxedFuture
stuff can be removed now that rust 1.77 is out, which can use async
recursive functions! This is mainly just cleaner code wise - the
recursion still boxes the future so not much to win there.
PR is mainly whitespace changes so do disable whitespace diffs for
easier review.
# Objective
- It can be useful to have access to the path of the current asset being
processed, for example if you want to need a second file that is
relative to the current file being processed.
## Solution
- I added a `path()` function to the `ProcessContext`
# Objective
Lets say I have the following `.meta` file:
```RON
(
meta_format_version: "1.0",
asset: Ignore,
)
```
When a file is inside the `assets` directory and processing is enabled,
the processor will copy the file into `imported_assets` although it
should be ignored and therefore not copied.
## Solution
- I added a simple check that does not copy the assets if the
AssetAction is `Ignore`.
## Migration Guide
- The public `ProcessResult` enum now has a `ProcessResult::Ignore`
variant that must be handled.
# Objective
Simplify implementing some asset traits without Box::pin(async move{})
shenanigans.
Fixes (in part) https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/11308
## Solution
Use async-fn in traits when possible in all traits. Traits with return
position impl trait are not object safe however, and as AssetReader and
AssetWriter are both used with dynamic dispatch, you need a Boxed
version of these futures anyway.
In the future, Rust is [adding
](https://blog.rust-lang.org/2023/12/21/async-fn-rpit-in-traits.html)proc
macros to generate these traits automatically, and at some point in the
future dyn traits should 'just work'. Until then.... this seemed liked
the right approach given more ErasedXXX already exist, but, no clue if
there's plans here! Especially since these are public now, it's a bit of
an unfortunate API, and means this is a breaking change.
In theory this saves some performance when these traits are used with
static dispatch, but, seems like most code paths go through dynamic
dispatch, which boxes anyway.
I also suspect a bunch of the lifetime annotations on these function
could be simplified now as the BoxedFuture was often the only thing
returned which needed a lifetime annotation, but I'm not touching that
for now as traits + lifetimes can be so tricky.
This is a revival of
[pull/11362](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/11362) after a
spectacular merge f*ckup, with updates to the latest Bevy. Just to recap
some discussion:
- Overall this seems like a win for code quality, especially when
implementing these traits, but a loss for having to deal with ErasedXXX
variants.
- `ConditionalSend` was the preferred name for the trait that might be
Send, to deal with wasm platforms.
- When reviewing be sure to disable whitespace difference, as that's 95%
of the PR.
## Changelog
- AssetReader, AssetWriter, AssetLoader, AssetSaver and Process now use
async-fn in traits rather than boxed futures.
## Migration Guide
- Custom implementations of AssetReader, AssetWriter, AssetLoader,
AssetSaver and Process should switch to async fn rather than returning a
bevy_utils::BoxedFuture.
- Simultaniously, to use dynamic dispatch on these traits you should
instead use dyn ErasedXXX.
# Objective
Fixes#11298. Make the use of bevy_log vs bevy_utils::tracing more
consistent.
## Solution
Replace all uses of bevy_log's logging macros with the reexport from
bevy_utils. Remove bevy_log as a dependency where it's no longer needed
anymore.
Ideally we should just be using tracing directly, but given that all of
these crates are already using bevy_utils, this likely isn't that great
of a loss right now.
# Objective
Memory usage optimisation
## Solution
`HashMap` and `HashSet`'s keys are immutable. So using mutable types
like `String`, `Vec<T>`, or `PathBuf` as a key is a waste of memory:
they have an extra `usize` for their capacity and may have spare
capacity.
This PR replaces these types by their immutable equivalents `Box<str>`,
`Box<[T]>`, and `Box<Path>`.
For more context, I recommend watching the [Use Arc Instead of
Vec](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A4cKi7PTJSs) video.

# Objective
- `AssetTransformer` provides an input asset, and output an asset, but
provides no access to the `LabeledAsset`'s created by the `AssetLoader`.
Labeled sub assets are an extremely important piece of many assets, Gltf
in particular, and without them the amount of transformation on an asset
is limited. In order for `AssetTransformer`'s to be useful, they need to
have access to these sub assets.
- LabeledAsset's loaded by `AssetLoader`s are provided to `AssetSaver`s
in the `LoadAndSave` process, but the `LoadTransformAndSave` process
drops these values in the transform stage, and so `AssetSaver` is given
none.
- Fixes#11606
Ideally the AssetTransformer should not ignore labeled sub assets, and
they should be kept at least for the AssetSaver
## Solution
- I created a new struct similar to `SavedAsset` named
`TransformedAsset` which holds the input asset, and the HashMap of
`LabeledAsset`s. The transform function now takes as input a
`TransformedAsset`, and returns a `TransformedAsset::<AssetOutput>`.
This gives the transform function access to the labeled sub assets
created by the `AssetLoader`.
- I also created `TransformedSubAsset` which holds mutable references to
a sub asset and that sub assets HashMap of `LabeledAsset`s. This allows
you to travers the Tree of `LabeledAsset`s by reference relatively
easily.
- The `LoadTransformAndSave` processor was then reworked to use the new
structs, stopping the `LabeledAsset`s from being dropped.
---
## Changelog
- Created TransformedAsset struct and TransformedSubAsset struct.
- Changed `get_untyped_handle` to return a `UntypedHandle` directly
rather than a reference and added `get_handle` as a typed variant in
SavedAsset and TransformedAsset
- Added `SavedAsset::from_transformed` as a constructor from a
`TransformedAsset`
- Switched LoadTransformAndSave process code to work with new
`TransformedAsset` type
- Added a `ProcessError` for `AssetTransformer` in process.rs
- Switched `AssetTransformer::transform` to use `TransformedAsset` as
input and output.
- Switched `AssetTransformer` to use a `BoxedFuture` like `AssetLoader`
and `AssetSaver` to allow for async transformation code.
- Updated AssetTransformer example to use new structure.
# Objective
One of a few Bevy Asset improvements I would like to make: #11216.
Currently asset processing and asset saving are handled by the same
trait, `AssetSaver`. This makes it difficult to reuse saving
implementations and impossible to have a single "universal" saver for a
given asset type.
## Solution
This PR splits off the processing portion of `AssetSaver` into
`AssetTransformer`, which is responsible for transforming assets. This
change involves adding the `LoadTransformAndSave` processor, which
utilizes the new API. The `LoadAndSave` still exists since it remains
useful in situations where no "transformation" of the asset is done,
such as when compressing assets.
## Notes:
As an aside, Bikeshedding is welcome on the names. I'm not entirely
convinced by `AssetTransformer`, which was chosen mostly because
`AssetProcessor` is taken. Additionally, `LoadTransformSave` may be
sufficient instead of `LoadTransformAndSave`.
---
## Changelog
### Added
- `AssetTransformer` which is responsible for transforming Assets.
- `LoadTransformAndSave`, a `Process` implementation.
### Changed
- Changed `AssetSaver`'s responsibilities from processing and saving to
just saving.
- Updated `asset_processing` example to use new API.
- Old asset .meta files regenerated with new processor.
# Objective
This adds events for assets that fail to load along with minor utility
methods to make them useful. This paves the way for users writing their
own error handling and retry systems, plus Bevy including robust retry
handling: #11349.
* Addresses #11288
* Needed for #11349
# Solution
```rust
/// An event emitted when a specific [`Asset`] fails to load.
#[derive(Event, Clone, Debug)]
pub struct AssetLoadFailedEvent<A: Asset> {
pub id: AssetId<A>,
/// The original handle returned when the asset load was requested.
pub handle: Option<Handle<A>>,
/// The asset path that was attempted.
pub path: AssetPath<'static>,
/// Why the asset failed to load.
pub error: AssetLoadError,
}
```
I started implementing `AssetEvent::Failed` like suggested in #11288,
but decided it was better as its own type because:
* I think it makes sense for `AssetEvent` to only refer to assets that
actually exist.
* In order to return `AssetLoadError` in the event (which is useful
information for error handlers that might attempt a retry) we would have
to remove `Copy` from `AssetEvent`.
* There are numerous places in the render app that match against
`AssetEvent`, and I don't think it's worth introducing extra noise about
assets that don't exist.
I also introduced `UntypedAssetLoadErrorEvent`, which is very useful in
places that need to support type flexibility, like an Asset-agnostic
retry plugin.
# Changelog
* **Added:** `AssetLoadFailedEvent<A>`
* **Added**: `UntypedAssetLoadFailedEvent`
* **Added:** `AssetReaderError::Http` for status code information on
HTTP errors. Before this, status codes were only available by parsing
the error message of generic `Io` errors.
* **Added:** `asset_server.get_path_id(path)`. This method simply gets
the asset id for the path. Without this, one was left using
`get_path_handle(path)`, which has the overhead of returning a strong
handle.
* **Fixed**: Made `AssetServer` loads return the same handle for assets
that already exist in a failed state. Now, when you attempt a `load`
that's in a `LoadState::Failed` state, it'll re-use the original asset
id. The advantage of this is that any dependent assets created using the
original handle will "unbreak" if a retry succeeds.

# Objective
- Shorten paths by removing unnecessary prefixes
## Solution
- Remove the prefixes from many paths which do not need them. Finding
the paths was done automatically using built-in refactoring tools in
Jetbrains RustRover.
# Objective
Fixes#10157
## Solution
Add `AssetMetaCheck` resource which can configure when/if asset meta
files will be read:
```rust
app
// Never attempts to look up meta files. The default meta configuration will be used for each asset.
.insert_resource(AssetMetaCheck::Never)
.add_plugins(DefaultPlugins)
```
This serves as a band-aid fix for the issue with wasm's
`HttpWasmAssetReader` creating a bunch of requests for non-existent
meta, which can slow down asset loading (by waiting for the 404
response) and creates a bunch of noise in the logs. This also provides a
band-aid fix for the more serious issue of itch.io deployments returning
403 responses, which results in full failure of asset loads.
If users don't want to include meta files for all deployed assets for
web builds, and they aren't using meta files at all, they should set
this to `AssetMetaCheck::Never`.
If users do want to include meta files for specific assets, they can use
`AssetMetaCheck::Paths`, which will only look up meta for those paths.
Currently, this defaults to `AssetMetaCheck::Always`, which makes this
fully non-breaking for the `0.12.1` release. _**However it _is_ worth
discussing making this `AssetMetaCheck::Never` by default**_, given that
I doubt most people are using meta files without the Asset Processor
enabled. This would be a breaking change, but it would make WASM / Itch
deployments work by default, which is a pretty big win imo. The downside
is that people using meta files _without_ processing would need to
manually enable `AssetMetaCheck::Always`, which is also suboptimal.
When in `AssetMetaCheck::Processed`, the meta check resource is ignored,
as processing requires asset meta files to function.
In general, I don't love adding this knob as things should ideally "just
work" in all cases. But this is the reality of the current situation.

## Changelog
- Added `AssetMetaCheck` resource, which can configure when/if asset
meta files will be read
# Objective
* In Bevy 0.11 asset loaders used `anyhow::Error` for returning errors.
In Bevy 0.12 `AssetLoader` (and `AssetSaver`) have associated `Error`
type. Unfortunately it's type bounds does not allow `anyhow::Error` to
be used despite migration guide claiming otherwise. This makes migration
to 0.12 more challenging. Solve this by changing type bounds for
associated `Error` type.
* Fix#10350
## Solution
Change associated `Error` type bounds to require `Into<Box<dyn
std::error::Error + Send + Sync + 'static>>` to be implemented instead
of `std::error::Error + Send + Sync + 'static`. Both `anyhow::Error` and
errors generated by `thiserror` seems to be fine with such type bound.
---
## Changelog
### Fixed
* Fixed compatibility with `anyhow::Error` in `AssetLoader` and
`AssetSaver` associated `Error` type
# Objective
- Assets v2 does not currently offer a public API to load untyped assets
## Solution
- Wrap the untyped handle in a `LoadedUntypedAsset` asset to offer a
non-blocking load for untyped assets. The user does not need to know the
actual asset type.
- Handles to `LoadedUntypedAsset` have the same path as the wrapped
asset, but their handles are shared using a label.
The user side of `load_untyped` looks like this:
```rust
use bevy::prelude::*;
use bevy_internal::asset::LoadedUntypedAsset;
fn main() {
App::new()
.add_plugins(DefaultPlugins)
.add_systems(Startup, setup)
.add_systems(Update, check)
.run();
}
#[derive(Resource)]
struct UntypedAsset {
handle: Handle<LoadedUntypedAsset>,
}
fn setup(
mut commands: Commands,
asset_server: Res<AssetServer>,
) {
let handle = asset_server.load_untyped("branding/banner.png");
commands.insert_resource(UntypedAsset { handle });
commands.spawn(Camera2dBundle::default());
}
fn check(
mut commands: Commands,
res: Option<Res<UntypedAsset>>,
assets: Res<Assets<LoadedUntypedAsset>>,
) {
if let Some(untyped_asset) = res {
if let Some(asset) = assets.get(&untyped_asset.handle) {
commands.spawn(SpriteBundle {
texture: asset.handle.clone().typed(),
..default()
});
commands.remove_resource::<UntypedAsset>();
}
}
}
```
---
## Changelog
- `load_untyped` on the asset server now returns a handle to a
`LoadedUntypedAsset` instead of an untyped handle to the asset at the
given path. The untyped handle for the given path can be retrieved from
the `LoadedUntypedAsset` once it is done loading.
## Migration Guide
Whenever possible use the typed API in order to directly get a handle to
your asset. If you do not know the type or need to use `load_untyped`
for a different reason, Bevy 0.12 introduces an additional layer of
indirection. The asset server will return a handle to a
`LoadedUntypedAsset`, which will load in the background. Once it is
loaded, the untyped handle to the asset file can be retrieved from the
`LoadedUntypedAsset`s field `handle`.

# Objective
- Hot reloading doesn't work the first time it is used
## Solution
- Currently, Bevy processor:
1. Create the `imported_assets` folder
2. Setup a watcher on it
3. Clear empty folders, so the `imported_assets` folder is deleted
4. Recreate the `imported_assets` folder and add all the imported assets
- On a first run without an existing `imported_assets` with some
content, hot reloading won't work as step 3 breaks the file watcher
- This PR stops the empty root folder from being deleted
- Also don't setup the processor internal asset server for file
watching, freeing up a thread

This adds support for **Multiple Asset Sources**. You can now register a
named `AssetSource`, which you can load assets from like you normally
would:
```rust
let shader: Handle<Shader> = asset_server.load("custom_source://path/to/shader.wgsl");
```
Notice that `AssetPath` now supports `some_source://` syntax. This can
now be accessed through the `asset_path.source()` accessor.
Asset source names _are not required_. If one is not specified, the
default asset source will be used:
```rust
let shader: Handle<Shader> = asset_server.load("path/to/shader.wgsl");
```
The behavior of the default asset source has not changed. Ex: the
`assets` folder is still the default.
As referenced in #9714
## Why?
**Multiple Asset Sources** enables a number of often-asked-for
scenarios:
* **Loading some assets from other locations on disk**: you could create
a `config` asset source that reads from the OS-default config folder
(not implemented in this PR)
* **Loading some assets from a remote server**: you could register a new
`remote` asset source that reads some assets from a remote http server
(not implemented in this PR)
* **Improved "Binary Embedded" Assets**: we can use this system for
"embedded-in-binary assets", which allows us to replace the old
`load_internal_asset!` approach, which couldn't support asset
processing, didn't support hot-reloading _well_, and didn't make
embedded assets accessible to the `AssetServer` (implemented in this pr)
## Adding New Asset Sources
An `AssetSource` is "just" a collection of `AssetReader`, `AssetWriter`,
and `AssetWatcher` entries. You can configure new asset sources like
this:
```rust
app.register_asset_source(
"other",
AssetSource::build()
.with_reader(|| Box::new(FileAssetReader::new("other")))
)
)
```
Note that `AssetSource` construction _must_ be repeatable, which is why
a closure is accepted.
`AssetSourceBuilder` supports `with_reader`, `with_writer`,
`with_watcher`, `with_processed_reader`, `with_processed_writer`, and
`with_processed_watcher`.
Note that the "asset source" system replaces the old "asset providers"
system.
## Processing Multiple Sources
The `AssetProcessor` now supports multiple asset sources! Processed
assets can refer to assets in other sources and everything "just works".
Each `AssetSource` defines an unprocessed and processed `AssetReader` /
`AssetWriter`.
Currently this is all or nothing for a given `AssetSource`. A given
source is either processed or it is not. Later we might want to add
support for "lazy asset processing", where an `AssetSource` (such as a
remote server) can be configured to only process assets that are
directly referenced by local assets (in order to save local disk space
and avoid doing extra work).
## A new `AssetSource`: `embedded`
One of the big features motivating **Multiple Asset Sources** was
improving our "embedded-in-binary" asset loading. To prove out the
**Multiple Asset Sources** implementation, I chose to build a new
`embedded` `AssetSource`, which replaces the old `load_interal_asset!`
system.
The old `load_internal_asset!` approach had a number of issues:
* The `AssetServer` was not aware of (or capable of loading) internal
assets.
* Because internal assets weren't visible to the `AssetServer`, they
could not be processed (or used by assets that are processed). This
would prevent things "preprocessing shaders that depend on built in Bevy
shaders", which is something we desperately need to start doing.
* Each "internal asset" needed a UUID to be defined in-code to reference
it. This was very manual and toilsome.
The new `embedded` `AssetSource` enables the following pattern:
```rust
// Called in `crates/bevy_pbr/src/render/mesh.rs`
embedded_asset!(app, "mesh.wgsl");
// later in the app
let shader: Handle<Shader> = asset_server.load("embedded://bevy_pbr/render/mesh.wgsl");
```
Notice that this always treats the crate name as the "root path", and it
trims out the `src` path for brevity. This is generally predictable, but
if you need to debug you can use the new `embedded_path!` macro to get a
`PathBuf` that matches the one used by `embedded_asset`.
You can also reference embedded assets in arbitrary assets, such as WGSL
shaders:
```rust
#import "embedded://bevy_pbr/render/mesh.wgsl"
```
This also makes `embedded` assets go through the "normal" asset
lifecycle. They are only loaded when they are actually used!
We are also discussing implicitly converting asset paths to/from shader
modules, so in the future (not in this PR) you might be able to load it
like this:
```rust
#import bevy_pbr::render::mesh::Vertex
```
Compare that to the old system!
```rust
pub const MESH_SHADER_HANDLE: Handle<Shader> = Handle::weak_from_u128(3252377289100772450);
load_internal_asset!(app, MESH_SHADER_HANDLE, "mesh.wgsl", Shader::from_wgsl);
// The mesh asset is the _only_ accessible via MESH_SHADER_HANDLE and _cannot_ be loaded via the AssetServer.
```
## Hot Reloading `embedded`
You can enable `embedded` hot reloading by enabling the
`embedded_watcher` cargo feature:
```
cargo run --features=embedded_watcher
```
## Improved Hot Reloading Workflow
First: the `filesystem_watcher` cargo feature has been renamed to
`file_watcher` for brevity (and to match the `FileAssetReader` naming
convention).
More importantly, hot asset reloading is no longer configured in-code by
default. If you enable any asset watcher feature (such as `file_watcher`
or `rust_source_watcher`), asset watching will be automatically enabled.
This removes the need to _also_ enable hot reloading in your app code.
That means you can replace this:
```rust
app.add_plugins(DefaultPlugins.set(AssetPlugin::default().watch_for_changes()))
```
with this:
```rust
app.add_plugins(DefaultPlugins)
```
If you want to hot reload assets in your app during development, just
run your app like this:
```
cargo run --features=file_watcher
```
This means you can use the same code for development and deployment! To
deploy an app, just don't include the watcher feature
```
cargo build --release
```
My intent is to move to this approach for pretty much all dev workflows.
In a future PR I would like to replace `AssetMode::ProcessedDev` with a
`runtime-processor` cargo feature. We could then group all common "dev"
cargo features under a single `dev` feature:
```sh
# this would enable file_watcher, embedded_watcher, runtime-processor, and more
cargo run --features=dev
```
## AssetMode
`AssetPlugin::Unprocessed`, `AssetPlugin::Processed`, and
`AssetPlugin::ProcessedDev` have been replaced with an `AssetMode` field
on `AssetPlugin`.
```rust
// before
app.add_plugins(DefaultPlugins.set(AssetPlugin::Processed { /* fields here */ })
// after
app.add_plugins(DefaultPlugins.set(AssetPlugin { mode: AssetMode::Processed, ..default() })
```
This aligns `AssetPlugin` with our other struct-like plugins. The old
"source" and "destination" `AssetProvider` fields in the enum variants
have been replaced by the "asset source" system. You no longer need to
configure the AssetPlugin to "point" to custom asset providers.
## AssetServerMode
To improve the implementation of **Multiple Asset Sources**,
`AssetServer` was made aware of whether or not it is using "processed"
or "unprocessed" assets. You can check that like this:
```rust
if asset_server.mode() == AssetServerMode::Processed {
/* do something */
}
```
Note that this refactor should also prepare the way for building "one to
many processed output files", as it makes the server aware of whether it
is loading from processed or unprocessed sources. Meaning we can store
and read processed and unprocessed assets differently!
## AssetPath can now refer to folders
The "file only" restriction has been removed from `AssetPath`. The
`AssetServer::load_folder` API now accepts an `AssetPath` instead of a
`Path`, meaning you can load folders from other asset sources!
## Improved AssetPath Parsing
AssetPath parsing was reworked to support sources, improve error
messages, and to enable parsing with a single pass over the string.
`AssetPath::new` was replaced by `AssetPath::parse` and
`AssetPath::try_parse`.
## AssetWatcher broken out from AssetReader
`AssetReader` is no longer responsible for constructing `AssetWatcher`.
This has been moved to `AssetSourceBuilder`.
## Duplicate Event Debouncing
Asset V2 already debounced duplicate filesystem events, but this was
_input_ events. Multiple input event types can produce the same _output_
`AssetSourceEvent`. Now that we have `embedded_watcher`, which does
expensive file io on events, it made sense to debounce output events
too, so I added that! This will also benefit the AssetProcessor by
preventing integrity checks for duplicate events (and helps keep the
noise down in trace logs).
## Next Steps
* **Port Built-in Shaders**: Currently the primary (and essentially
only) user of `load_interal_asset` in Bevy's source code is "built-in
shaders". I chose not to do that in this PR for a few reasons:
1. We need to add the ability to pass shader defs in to shaders via meta
files. Some shaders (such as MESH_VIEW_TYPES) need to pass shader def
values in that are defined in code.
2. We need to revisit the current shader module naming system. I think
we _probably_ want to imply modules from source structure (at least by
default). Ideally in a way that can losslessly convert asset paths
to/from shader modules (to enable the asset system to resolve modules
using the asset server).
3. I want to keep this change set minimal / get this merged first.
* **Deprecate `load_internal_asset`**: we can't do that until we do (1)
and (2)
* **Relative Asset Paths**: This PR significantly increases the need for
relative asset paths (which was already pretty high). Currently when
loading dependencies, it is assumed to be an absolute path, which means
if in an `AssetLoader` you call `context.load("some/path/image.png")` it
will assume that is the "default" asset source, _even if the current
asset is in a different asset source_. This will cause breakage for
AssetLoaders that are not designed to add the current source to whatever
paths are being used. AssetLoaders should generally not need to be aware
of the name of their current asset source, or need to think about the
"current asset source" generally. We should build apis that support
relative asset paths and then encourage using relative paths as much as
possible (both via api design and docs). Relative paths are also
important because they will allow developers to move folders around
(even across providers) without reprocessing, provided there is no path
breakage.
