Failed to load: data/actos.json

[Mr Kipling]

Just tried running the index.html file on a newly created game and get the Failed to load: data/actors.json.

Any ideas?

... is there an data directory next to the index.html, with an actors.json in it?

[Mr Kipling]

Yes it's there. Checked the json and it doesn't look malformed or corrupted in any way.

Recreated error by starting another blank project and then ran index.html and same thing happened.

[Mr Kipling]

This is interesting. Tried it in IE and Chrome and I get that error. It runs fine in Firefox though!

[ocean pollen]

Ah, it's probably just browser permissions issues. It should fine in any of those browsers if you upload it somewhere, or if you serve it from a local webserver instead of tryng to open the file directly

[Mr Kipling]

Yep that was it. Ran it with IISExpress and it was fine. Thanks for the help.

Chrome prevents insecure file transfers on a local level "file://"

If you inspect the page, you'll see this message:
"Cross origin requests are only supported for protocol schemes: http, data, chrome, chrome-extension, https, chrome-extension-resource."

If you upload it to a secure server (via ftp), your game will work. Or you can change Chrome's security protocol http://stackoverflow.com/a/3177718

You can get it to run locally from Chrome if you start the browser from a terminal using the flag:

 --allow-file-access-from-files 

For Windows

 start chrome --allow-file-access-from-files 

For MacOS

 /Applications/Google\ Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google/ Chrome --allow-file-access-from-files 

For Mac Linux

 google-chrome --allow-file-access-from-files
