[Question] How to use assets_dir

[efermon]

Question

Hello everyone,
I just discovered Flet and I think it's great. I immediately started a tutorial, but soon ran into the first problem.

Suppose I want the resources folder to be named assets_04 instead of assets. If I run the application by python app.py, it works fine, but if I run the application by flet run app.py it does not work.

Regardless of what you have in asset_dir, flet always looks for the resources in the assets folder

Code sample

import flet as ft
 
def main(pagina: ft.Page):
    pagina.fonts = {
        'Kanit':'fonts/Kanit-Bold.ttf',
        'MisionEspacial':'fonts/SpaceMission-rgyw9.otf',
    }
   
    pagina.add(
            ft.Text(value='Texto de prueba para verificar fuente 1', font_family = 'MisionEspacial', size=20),
            ft.Text(value='Texto de prueba para verificar fuente 2', font_family = 'Kanit', size=20)
    )

ft.app(main, assets_dir="assets_04")

Error message

Can you trying specifying the assets dir through the command line and report why happens? (Docs)

Also, did you mean you have both directories (assets and assets04) in the root of your app?

Thanks for answering. I've just started a Flet course and I was trying to have an assets directory per chapter (assets_04 would be the resources directory for chapter 4). In the attached image you can see that I only have one assets folder, assets_04 Right now I just verified that if I specify assets_dir in the execution it also works fine: python fonts.py OK flet run sources.py -a assets_04 OK flet run fonts.py Doesn't work I remember that in the code I do specify assets_dir: ft.app(main, assets_dir="assets_04") (Sorry if my English is not very good.

It seems that the image did not upload. The tree is: root - folder assets_04 - fonts . file Kanit-Bold.ttf . file SpaceMission-rgyw9.otf . fonts.py . file fuentes.py El sáb, 27 abr 2024 a las 9:45, Emilio Ferrera Montero (< ***@***.***>) escribió:
