Question

I am working on a project which includes reading files and I am getting an error 12 when trying to read from one specific file, even though the path is known to be a valid absolute path from the (String).is_absolute_path() being checked as true before trying to open the file.

var file_path : String = "path" # path of the file
if file_path.is_absolute_path(): #checking its valid
	print(FileAccess.open(file_path, FileAccess.READ))
	# ^ prints '<Object#null>'
	print(FileAccess.get_open_error())
	# ^ prints '12'

What can cause a error 12 ‘ERR_FILE_CANT_OPEN’ to occur?

Thank you! I don’t know C++ so I am looking into and have asked about how it works to try and find the root of the problem.
