Why do I keep getting this weird error when trying to load an image?

So I'm trying to make a game in GoLang using Raylib Go (Go bindings of a C library with the same name).

I'm using a temporary variable to test if I can load a texture (I'm only gonna show the one line, as that's the only thing that makes the program crash):

var _ rl.Texture2D = rl.LoadTexture("./rsrc/textures/logo.png");

Yes, the path "./rsrc/textures/logo.png" exists (relative to the executable's default directory).
After putting that in, I ran two commands in Command Prompt (Windows 10)

C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\Projects\Go\games\RuntDeale>go build ./rsrc/code
C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\Projects\Go\games\RuntDeale>code

After running that last command, no window appeared, and the program had seemed to have ended.
But I got this lovely jumble of text printed to me:

INFO: FILEIO: [./rsrc/textures/logo.png] File loaded successfully
INFO: IMAGE: [./rsrc/textures/logo.png] Data loaded successfully (76x17)

It says the file loaded successfully, but then it has some kind of error, and doesn't really make any sense.

What does this mean, and how can I fix it?




Thanks!
Cheers!

I've never used raylib, but my initial guess is that you're either missing a step, or doing something out-of-order from what the library expects.

It's hard to diagnose your problem based on a single line of code. Can you create a new program that only loads the texture, then post the full source code? That will make it easier to trace through the steps and figure out if you're missing something, doing something wrong, etc.

Raylib is similar to OpenGL (I think it even uses OpenGL BTS).

Here is a minimal example:

package main;

import "github.com/gen2brain/raylib-go/raylib";







// Main function (program entrypoint).
func main() {
  var tex rl.Texture2D = rl.LoadTexture("test.jpg");

  rl.InitWindow(500, 500, "Raylib test.");
  for !rl.WindowShouldClose() {
    rl.ClearBackground(rl.Black);
    rl.DrawTexture(tex, 0, 0, rl.Blank);
  }
}

And I get a pretty similar result to the last (except jpg isn't a supported format, for some reason (not like I use jpg, but I still care about them)).

NOTE: I tried adding rl.UnloadTexture(tex) after the window initialization, and I tried putting it after the for loop. When I do this, the window does appear this time, but it instantly closes, and provides the same (or similar) error (I didn't look too carefully, since they seem the same).
With that said, I can tell it's an issue with rl.LoadTexture(string), and not me, or rl.UnloadTexture(rl.Texture2D).
