"Class<AssetPaths> has no field" during tutorial

[crywalt]

Forgive me if I'm in the wrong place. I've been coding a long time but don't work with GitHub a lot and I'm new to HaxeFlixel.

Contrary to my usual way of doing things I am actually following the TurnBasedRPG tutorial step by step and I've hit a major snag that's got me completely baffled. This is exactly the sample code I copied:

package;

import flixel.FlxSprite;
import flixel.tweens.FlxEase;
import flixel.tweens.FlxTween;

class Coin extends FlxSprite
{
	public function new(x:Float, y:Float)
	{
		super(x, y);
		loadGraphic(AssetPaths.coin__png, false, 8, 8);
		// loadGraphic(AssetPaths.player__png, true, 16, 16);
	}

	override function kill()
	{
		alive = false;
		FlxTween.tween(this, {alpha: 0, y: y - 16}, 0.33, {ease: FlxEase.circOut, onComplete: finishKill});
	}

	function finishKill(_)
	{
		exists = false;
	}
}

Aside from the commented loadGraphic. Despite the file coin.png being in the exact same assets/images directory as player.png, I'm getting the build error "Class<AssetPaths> has no field coin__png". I can see coin.png both through the OS and in the Visual Code Studio explorer. If I swap the commented line in and comment out the coin__png line, it works (although obviously using the player PNG). The only thing I can think of is some part of the build chain hasn't re-read the assets directory contents but I've been banging on it for 15 minutes and it keeps giving me the same error.

Edit: Closing Visual Studio and reopening it solved the problem but...shouldn't it have seen the coin.png file before? Isn't that a bit drastic?

The asset path macro results tend to be cached a bit too agressively unfortunatenly. A more "lightweight" method of refreshing it is F1 -> Haxe: Restart Language Server. Note that compilation should still work, this is likely just a "diagnostics" error.

Also note that you can always use string asset paths instead, the macro is just for convenience - loadGraphic("assets/images/coin.png").
