Required virtual method LuaScriptLanguage::_reload_scripts must be overridden before calling.

[Goldenlion5648]

When I edit my gdscript file while the game is running and it gets reloaded, I get this error (which seems more like a warning, so it's just a bit annoying to see in the debugger window that there's an error)

E 0:00:07:875   _gdvirtual__reload_scripts_call: Required virtual method LuaScriptLanguage::_reload_scripts must be overridden before calling.

Hey @Goldenlion5648, thanks for the report.

Interesting, I haven't seen this one yet. Which version of Godot are you using? Probably it's a newer API that Lua GDExtension isn't aware of yet.

I'm actually using a custom fork that is basically on the master branch (a bit after godot 4.7 beta 2). My mistake for not checking in the release version. Understandable if you are going to wait for the full 4.7 release to address this, assuming it's relevant there

Don't worry! We'll have to support new virtual methods anyway, it's good to know there's something already to be aware of. If it doesn't crash or behave weirdly, it should be fine to wait until 4.7 is stable (you'll get error messages, which are annoying, but may also be fine). I guess this method will likely not change until there, so we can also start working on supporting it, keeping a separate branch in place with the fix for when 4.7 gets released. Let me know how it behaves in there.

Looking at the history I remembered, someone already mentioned it in #210.
