New default "Attach Node Script" path causes warning not mentioned in tutorial

Your Godot version: 4.2.2

Issue description:

Tutorial has:

Change the Template field from "Node: Default" to "Object: Empty" to start with a clean file. Leave the other options set to their default values and click the Create button to create the script.

What actually happens:

URL to the documentation page: https://docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/getting_started/step_by_step/scripting_first_script.html#creating-a-new-script

It's not clear why the name defaults to res://Sprite2D.gd but if you change it to sprite_2d to match the tutorial screenshot, the result is pretty close (except the last line, "Template: ...," is now grey instead of green). But the tutorial says, "Leave the other options set to their default values."

So...should the default behaviour of Godot be reverted since it causes a warning, or should the tutorial instructions be updated?

If the latter, maybe the warning could be explained. It's not clear why exactly it's "usually not desired" nor in what case it might actually be desired despite the warning.

Thanks team, you're awesome :heart:

It isn't applicable, because that warning is t there when you name the file sprite_2d.gd, you named it Sprite2D.gd which is different, the difference is due to the specifics with the naming, but the assumption is that you named it as instructed, not the default name, note how the rest of the tutorial uses sprite_2d.gd, so the change would be to bite this in the 4.2 docs specifically, in 4.3 this works perfectly right

@AThousandShips I didn't name it that, though—it came up as the default. Oddly, though, I can't seem to reproduce it now. Attaching scripts creates a snake_case name rather than what I saw when I initially reported this. :shrug:

@AThousandShips Actually, I can reproduce it, if I start a new project as instructed. Where I couldn't reproduce it was on some other project I'm now working on. If I start new, add other, use Sprite2D, (optionally) put icon.svg as the texture, then right-click and Attach Script, the default is what I reported.

codingthat is correct. The docs should specify changing the name but right now they make it seem like you should use the default name that's generated.

Thanks @skyace65 . And perhaps more to the point, why does Godot sometimes default to snake_case and other times default to PascalCase?
