ExternalEditor Lost code when changing script name and pressing play

[Forknika]

Godot version:

• 3.1.1 , 3.2 dev. 3.1.1-mono, 3.2 dev-mono.

OS/device including version:

• GNU/Linux Ubuntu and Kubuntu 18.04.3LTS, Ubuntu and Kubuntu 19.04.

Issue description:

• When the name of a script is changed, and the play button is pressed, the code written in the script disappears and is replaced by the default template.

• EDIT: This does not happen when the godot restarts after changing the name of the script, if you create the script from the node or if you create the script from the text editor.

• External editors: Monodevelop, VisualStudio Code.

Steps to reproduce:

• Create a new script and write some code, save and close the text editor, then change the name and press the play button, open your script and you will notice that the code you wrote has been replaced by the default template.

Fortunately, the only serious project I have in Godot is in GDScript, so I was not using the external editor, I lost several lines of code in C # but it was just a port of code that I have in Unity.

Here is a video of my problem, and some additional data(Sorry for the poor quality, I had nothing to record installed.)

Reproduced!!!

You need to create the script through the file manager: It is not reproducible if you create a script from the node.

True, and also if you create the script from the text editor.

Some more information:

• The bug always occurs even if changes are made from the external editor, but it takes a little longer to manifest the symptoms

• The bug is also presented when the scene is saved.

• This bug is also in the normal version, I think that something is not updated after changing the name of the script, but it does not appear when the internal editor is used maybe because it also saves the code when the scene is saved.

Temporary Solutions:

• Rename the script with the internal godot text editor.
• Restart the engine after changing the script name and class.
• Deactivate the "Save Safe On Backup Then Rename" option

Is this still reproducible in Godot 3.3 or later?

Yes - https://youtu.be/-jSLX_Oh5fo

Clear reproduction steps:

• Make sure external script editor is enabled (Editor Settings->Text Editor->External)
• Create script in File System dock
• Open script in external editor
• Make a change, save, exit external editor
• Rename script inside File System dock
• Play scene
• Check contents of script
