Hello!
I’m running into a data race issue with a Python script in a blank project.
Using Unreal Engine 5.4.1 with Py3.11 (I also tried in 5.3.1 and Py3.9x) .
The script basically does two things:
- After importing an asset, it checks a metadata property (
FBX.mesh_type).
- Then, it moves the asset to a specific directory based on the value of this metadata property.
(EditorAssetLibrary.rename_asset)
The rule works and only triggers the data race error the first time I import an FBX. If I import another one, there’s no error. But if I restart the engine, the error pops up again on the first import.
Even though I’ve added locks (threading.Lock) to sync access to shared resources, I’m still seeing concurrency errors. Could really use some help to figure this out!
The Error
The logs show a data race and mention MTAccessDetector.h with this message:
LogOutputDevice: Error: === Handled ensure: ===
LogOutputDevice: Error: Ensure condition failed: InState.GetWriterThreadId() == CurrentThreadId [File:D:\build\++UE5\Sync\Engine\Source\Runtime\Core\Public\Misc\MTAccessDetector.h] [Line: 355]

Any suggestions on what might be causing this issue or how to fix it? Has anyone experienced something similar?
Thank you!
Same error using a diferrent approach:

I found a workaround. It’s a bit messy, but no date-race.
Using duplicate_asset instead of rename_asset
EditorAssetLibrary.duplicate_asset(asset_path, destination_path)
Then iterate over the metadata tags to copy them to the duplicated asset.
However, when I try to delete the original asset, the editor crashes, but its something.
