Whenever I run my code I get this error

```auto
ReferenceError: path is not defined

    at _start (https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/p5.js/1.4.0/p5.min.js:3:422871)

```

This is the code snippet I think might be causing the problem

```auto
case 'png':
case 'jpg':
case 'jpeg':
case 'gif':

	if (lib === 'p5') {
		// This code... V
		returnObj.p5 = new Promise((resolve, reject) => {p.loadImage(fileObj.path, resolve, reject)})
	}
	else if (lib === '3js') {
		returnObj.three = new THREE.ImageLoader(threeLoadingManager).load(fileObj.path, threeSuccessCallback, undifined, failureCallback)
	}

	break;

	// ...

```

  

**`fileObj`** is this: `{ path: 'BRUH.png', forLib: ['p5'] }` for testing

**Also, I’m running p5 in instance mode RN**

This is the code that is running the function:

```auto
p.setup = () => {
	loadFile(filesToLoad[0], p).p5.then(console.log).catch(console.error)
	console.log(filesToLoad[0])
	// ...

```

Some of your case statements are using just `path` instead of `fileObj.path`:

```auto

			// Font
			case 'otf':
			case 'ttf':

				if (lib === 'p5') {
					returnObj.p5 = new Promise((resolve, reject) => {p.loadFont(path, resolve, reject)})
				}
				break;
			
			// Raw Data (Bytes)
			default:

				if (lib === 'p5') {
					returnObj.p5 = new Promise((resolve, reject) => {p.loadBytes(path, resolve, reject)})
				}
				break;

```
