Godot 4.2.2 reports GDExtension library not found

[Endermanbugzjfc]

Attempts

Thinking that installing the built version would be easier, I downloaded the latest source version (0.10.0-godot4) on AssetLib page before running into the following error:

core/extension/gdextension.cpp:688 - GDExtension library not found: 
  Failed loading resource: res://cef_artifacts/gdcef.gdextension. Make sure resources have been imported by opening the project in the editor at least once.

Then, I tried using the built version on your release page but got the same result again. I also edited the .gdextension file by updating the paths that it points at and hoped it would work. Sadly it didn't. Here are that paths that I tested:

Notes

I have looked at Godot's source code and found out it was supposed to follow a library path after the error which was not my case. Therefore, I suspect if it is an error in the game engine itself.

I tested with version 0.9.0 as well but things did not change much. I am not a CPP programmer, so I cannot deal with this alone.

I appreciate your effort on this project and hope it will work on everyone's machine.

Environment

Godot: 4.2.2
Operating system: Windows 11 21H2 Build 22000.1936
Project renderer: Compatibility

@Endermanbugzjfc just for information, the latest release is 0.11.0 for Godot 4.3 https://github.com/Lecrapouille/gdcef/releases/tag/v0.11.0-godot4 it contains the cef_artifacts. The Godot asset lib will download code source that you have to compile by yourself.

For Windows we have to fix this issue #45 but for exported projects. But also #65

Have you tried the demos (gdcef/addons/gdcef/demos/2D/) ? They shall work directly (if you have compiled gdcef by yourself), else copy the cef_artifacts inside each demos. You do not have to modify the .gdextension normally since version 0.10.0.

Afaik I do not have Windows, and virtualbox on Linux cannot help me testing gdcef once compiled, so I cannot help a lot.

Tysm! It operates correctly after updating to Godot 4.3.

@Endermanbugzjfc Thank you the first good news of the day :)
