Research direction

Start by locating the code path that loads resources.json and emits “Unable to load the default resources.json file.” Confirm the behavior when the file is absent with code execution enabled, then verify the export-server logs no longer show this message at warning severity.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Export server version: v5.0.0
Highcharts version: 10.2.1

Configuration:

Current behaviour:
When code execution is allowed, the server assumes that there should be resources.json file and if there is none, it issues a warning.

Expected behaviour:
Server does not log message with warning severity.

Export server logs:

2025-04-05 14:52:14 Sat Apr 05 2025 12:52:14 GMT+0000 [warning] - [chart] Unable to load the default resources.json file.
