Error message

Failed to load asset '{path}' with asset loader '{loader_name}': {error}

What it means

AssetLoadError::AssetLoaderError: the asset loader named in the message failed while loading the asset at the given path; the wrapped BevyError (accessible via error()) holds the loader-specific cause.

Solutions

1. Inspect the wrapped error with downcast_ref for the loader-specific cause
2. Verify the asset file is valid and not corrupted
3. Check that the asset's dependencies are loadable
