Flame race condition on the children API
Current bug behaviour
- Do a test that uses an assets
- Pre load the asset on the game onLoad
- Do a test for a component that accesses that asset from the game cache
- Test is broken because the asset is not loaded yet
Expected behaviour
Test should pass ok because the asset was preloaded
More information
As far as I debugged, this is happening because of a race condition on the flame children API (this is also affecting the FlameBlocProvider as it has a similar API), the children there are added to the game on the component constructor, and their children onLoad happens before the game onLoad method has finished.
Unfortunately I can't link the source code where I can consistently reproduce this, but I will link an example when possible.
