Json import bug

DarkTI · 12 фев 2021

We believe we found a bug in spine 3.8.99 Professional.

The importing of animation attachments into an existing skeleton (via either "replace" or ignore") doesn't work.
For example, for json like this

...
"animations": {
    "victory": {
        "slots": {
            "eye_l": {
                "attachment": [
                    { "name": "chibi/eye_closed_l" }
                ]
            },
            "eye_r": {
                "attachment": [
                    { "name": "chibi/eye_closed_r" }
                ]
            }
        },
        "bones": {
...

the "slots" part is ignored completely, leading to missing keys. The json was created in the same version of spine.
The only way to make sure they are imported is to import data as "New project/create a new skeleton" and delete the previous skeleton.

Importing a json in another skeleton only imports the structure, not the animations. To import animations you have to import a spine project instead:
