PIXI v7 Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read properties of null (reading 'baseTexture')

I'm not sure what's happening with pixi spine does not work with some spine json file, but work perfectly with spine web player

package.json:

{
  "name": "pixi-7-spine-4_1_bug",
  "private": true,
  "version": "0.0.0",
  "type": "module",
  "scripts": {
    "dev": "vite",
    "build": "tsc && vite build",
    "preview": "vite preview"
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "typescript": "^4.9.3",
    "vite": "^4.1.0"
  },
  "dependencies": {
    "pixi-spine": "^4.0.3",
    "pixi.js": "^7.1.2"
  }
}

the code:

    const container = new PIXI.Container();
    container.position.set(500, 500);

    const rocketSpine = new Spine(rocketSpineAsset.spineData);
    rocketSpine.state.setAnimation(0, "rocket_animation", true);
    rocketSpine.scale.set(0.32);
    const spaceshipSpine = new Spine(spaceshipSpineAsset.spineData);
    spaceshipSpine.state.setAnimation(0, "spaceship_flying_bunny", true);
    spaceshipSpine.scale.set(0.32);

    // work
    container.addChild(rocketSpine).position.set(5, -140);

    // does not work
    container.addChild(spaceshipSpine).position.set(5, -140);

the error is:
    Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read properties of null (reading 'baseTexture')

We're encountering the same issue when using looping png sequences with a Mesh and vertecies. Has anyone found a solution for this?
