node + Phaser.HEADLESS --> (Phaser.Scene).add function does not add new scene

[micsun-al]

Version

• Phaser Version: Phaser v3.55.2-FB (Headless | No Audio)

• Operating system: Windows 10

• Browser: $ node v14.17.6

Description

Using node + Phaser.HEADLESS, (Phaser.Scene).add function does not add new scene. The associated constructor, init, preload, create, and update functions also do not run. Changing the Phaser.Game type to Phaser.CANVAS makes the associated functions run correctly.

Example Test Code

class MainScene extends Phaser.Scene {
  constructor(config) {
    super(config)
  }
  
  create() {
    const dynamicSceneName = `dynamicSceneName${Phaser.Math.Between(0, 9999999)}`
    console.log(`Adding ${dynamicSceneName}...`)
    this.scene.add(dynamicSceneName, SomeDynamicScene, true)
  }
}

class SomeDynamicScene extends Phaser.Scene {
  constructor(config) {
    super(config)
    console.log(`config:`, config)  // THIS DOES NOT GET CALLED ON (NODE + `Phaser.HEADLESS`), BUT WORKS ON (NODE + `Phaser.CANVAS`)
  }
  
  create() {
    console.log(`SomeDynamicScene: create`) // THIS DOES NOT GET CALLED ON (NODE + `Phaser.HEADLESS`), BUT WORKS ON (NODE + `Phaser.CANVAS`)
  }
  
  update(time, deltaTime) {
    console.log(`SomeDynamicScene: update`) // THIS DOES NOT GET CALLED ON (NODE + `Phaser.HEADLESS`), BUT WORKS ON (NODE + `Phaser.CANVAS`)
  }
}

var config = {
    type: Phaser.HEADLESS,   // THIS DOES NOT WORK ON NODE (WORKS IN BROWSERS)
    // type: Phaser.CANVAS,  // THIS WORKS ON NODE
    scene: [
      MainScene
    ]
}

var game = new Phaser.Game(config)

Check if MainScene#update() gets called.

[micsun-al]

MainScene#create() and MainScene#update() gets called correctly (with either Phaser.HEADLESS or Phaser.CANVAS on node).
