resource_name and resource_path = empty strings

Issue description

I am trying to identify who emits the events that occur when touching the screen, on buttons like "TouchScreenButton".
For this I use "resource_path" and "resource_name" in "_input" but they are empty strings, you cannot identify who is emitting the event because they are empty strings.

Steps to reproduce

In "_input" check who issued the event using what I said before.

@Torguen Please upload a minimal reproduction project to make this easier to troubleshoot.

TouchScreenButton is a node, not a resource. It does not have a concept of resource name and resource path in its instanced form. However, a PackedScene is a resource, so it can have a name and path defined. The name is empty by default, but you can specify it manually in the inspector. The path is empty for built-in resources, and is set to a res:// path for resources saved to a file.

I don't understand this issue. InputEventButton doesn't inherits from Resource and InputEventActions usually are not saved to the FileSystem (and, since are not saved, they doesn't have any resource_path or resource_name) and if that were the case, that action is not a clear way to know what InputEventButton was pressed.

[Torguen]

The issue is that I wanted to know who is emitting the event and I thought that resource_path or name could tell me the node that is emitting but it is not. So I thought the problem was that the strings are empty.

Maybe this is not a bug.

There is really no way to know who is throwing the event in "_input".
"event" does not have that information.

resource.resource_name still does not print any information
resource.resource_path works

a scene was loaded but the name of the resource is not printed:

var nivel_cargado = loader.get_resource()
print( nivel_cargado.resource_name )

a PackedScene is a resource, so it can have a name and path defined

May I ask how to set the resource_name of a PackedScene? Double-clicking on a scene doesn't open it as a resource in the inspector, unlike other types of resources (it just opens the scene). The only time I can see the inspector showing PackedScene content is during debug, if I have a packed_scene var, by clicking on it in the Debugger. But changing the resource name there won't be saved (maybe because it's remote? the effect is similar to the issue linked above, but for PackedScene and during debug).

Otherwise, my PackedScene resource_path is correctly set. So to debug that specific bug we'll need a MWE or steps to reproduce the issue from a new project.

May I ask how to set the resource_name of a PackedScene?

var packed_scene = load("res://my_packed_scene.tscn")
packed_scene.resource_name = "Original Name"

Double-clicking on a scene doesn't open it as a resource in the inspector,

This is because the edit behavior of a PackedScene is opening it in scene editor (the editor made specifically for packed scenes).

The only time I can see the inspector showing PackedScene content is during debug

This is because you're inspecting the scene as a resource, you're not editing the scene as resource. Are you sure this issue is related to your issue @hsandt ?

Thanks, so runtime code, it explains how it could happen.

Yes, this makes sense.

I don't have an issue with this in particular, I was just curious about how OP could reach the situation they described (so ultimately get the repro steps). Well, technically I had a few issues related to resource names but they were quite different and just led me to find this ticket while searching for keywords. I don't remember exactly which ones but I probably fixed them / found a workaround at some point because I don't remember getting stuck on them.
