Can I have a named detached script and have it loaded by default?

AnthropomorphicBeing

I have a detached script, and it has a class_name. I can't use it. Godot says the class can't be fully loaded because of a script error or a cyclic dependency. The script doesn't have any errors and I don't see a cyclic dependency:

res://detached scripts/piece_getter.gd:7 - Parse Error: The class "Piece" couldn't be fully loaded (script error or cyclic dependency). modules/gdscript/gdscript.cpp:599 - Method failed. Returning: ERR_PARSE_ERRO Is it that scripts must have scenes to be loaded by default? is it the problem that it's a detached script? It's the only thing that I can think of that might be an issue. Is that it?

EDIT: I closed Godot and re-opened it. The error went away. Consider this post closed.

Does it extend a class? Even if it's just the node class, I think it needs to extend something. I could be mistaken though, since I haven't tested that.

Yes, it extends Node

I've used a script that defines a class (using class_name), is not attached to a node, and doesn't extend a class.
