Resolved LoadResourceLocationsAsync returns ResourceType null for sub-assets

Today I was trying to update our Addressables package to the latest version and everything seemed to work except for loading resource locations for sub-assets. Where before version 1.8.3 the ResourceType was correctly filled, it is now null. It appears that it has been broken for a while, as version 1.7.5 still works, but from version 1.8.3 it's broken.
The changelog of 1.8.3 has an entry with "Fixed subobject parsing to treat anything between the first '[' character and the last ']' as the subobject name instead of the last '[' and the last ']'." and I suspect that this has introduced the problem.

Reproduction steps:

• Create an AssetReference inside a script and assign an asset with a sub-asset through the inspector
• Call Addressables.LoadResourceLocationsAsync passing in the AssetReference

Version 1.7.5 (correctly) returns a list with 1 item, ResourceType will be filled with the correct type.
Version 1.8.3 or higher returns a list with 1 item, ResourceType will be null.

Instantiating the AssetReference directly seems to work correctly so apparently the usage of sub-assets isn't widely used in combination with the LoadResourceLocationsAsync method. We use the LoadResourceLocationsAsync method because of networking; the server sends the address of the asset the client needs to create. Therefore the client needs to resolve the resource location and determine the ResourceType in order to create either a ScriptableObject or a GameObject. So unless someone has an alternative solution for this usecase that doesn't require the ResourceType to work correctly, I would like to see this fixed.

 

Thanks for the reply. Perhaps I should have been more clear about me using the latest actually was 1.15.1. Anyway, the problem is still the same for every version I've tried higher than 1.7.5. So it all comes down to this:

Code (CSharp):

1. await Addressables.InitializeAsync().Task;
2. IList<IResourceLocation> resourceLocations = await Addressables.LoadResourceLocationsAsync(AssetReference).Task;

Version 1.7.5 will correctly have a ResourceType
Every version above this that I've tried (including 1.15.1) will have a ResourceType of null.

This is using the Play Mode Script "Use Asset Database (faster)"

I've also upated my original post, as the two items returned in the list is no longer relevant.

 

Any word on this? It has been two weeks since the last reply. Did this make the backlog, or is more information required?

 

Hi, I'd just like to come back and note that I've filed a bug report and can confirm this has been fixed in version 1.16.10.
