  • I am integrating the face-api.js into C3 as a plugin, but I am having an issue with preview. It works fine with the export of game to HMTL5 and hosted (locally or on a remote server.) It also works fine when exported with Electron and run as a desktop app (https://electronforconstruct.armaldio.xyz/).

    The issue occurs when the JS api requests a file via a fetch URI (that's included in the root of the plugin and the root of the exported HTML5.) The error on the Chrome console is: 

    Access to fetch at 'https://editor.construct.net/r151/preview/ssd_mobilenetv1_model-weights_manifest.json'
from origin 'https://preview.construct.net' has been blocked by CORS policy:
 No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource.
If an opaque response serves your needs, set the request's mode to 'no-cors' to fetch
 the resource with CORS disabled.

    However, preview fails any suggestions? Is it possible to enable CORS between preview.construct.net and editor.construct.net or is that a security issue for construct.net?

  • Project files are local, and not hosted on any server, so you can't fetch them in preview mode. Make all requests through AssetManager and everything will work.

  • Thanks Ashley, I will take a look at the AssetManger SDK.

    I'm trying to use the AssetManager, but I still get a CORS error during preview.

    Did I read your below message incorrectly? Does fetching not work at all during preview and AssetManager does not help for fetching during preview?

    I have this in my events (and j.json project file in the project.) 

    + System: On start of layout
-> Run JavaScript: var loadedJson = c3_runtimeInterface._GetLocalRuntime()._assetManager.FetchJson("j.son")
console.log(loadedJson)

    The above fails with a CORS error during preview.

    Thanks for the help.

  • Ah, learning slowly but surely, this works in preview: 

    async function go() {
	var projUrl = ''
	projUrl = await c3_runtimeInterface._GetLocalRuntime()._assetManager.LoadProjectFileUrl('j.json')
	var loadedJson = {}
	loadedJson = await	c3_runtimeInterface._GetLocalRuntime()._assetManager.FetchJson(projUrl)
console.log(loadedJson)
}
go()

  • It looks like you have a typo in the filename.

  • By the way you're also using undocumented unsupported features in that code, so I can't offer any further help if it's not working.
