E1038 error

asset() path is not a package asset (or case mismatch)

area: names (x1xxx)
fails the build: yes
in plain Lua files: reported as W1038

asset(path) names a file that isn't one of the package's assets, or differs from it in case, or the path isn't a constant string. The path is relative to the package root, uses /, and must match a file that build.assets includes, letter case and all. Add the file to build.assets, or fix the path.
