[bug] URDF Preview not rendering - Due to RobotWebTools.org being down. #908
Comments
Hi, I have the same Issue. ROS Preview URDF, renders a completely blank screen. No Grids. ROS1: Noetic |
Thanks for reporting. The URDF renderer uses RobotWebTools. Is there a proxy or something in the way? |
It looks like RobotWebTools.org is down, which the vscode ROS extension depends on per the recommendation of the docs. Following up with the maintainers. |
Upgrading from very old laptop to new 'you_beuty" i9 gaming laptop and having the same drama. Ubuntu 20.04, downloaded .dep and apt installed as per CODE website. URDF preview blank (same as above) but still functioning normal on older laptop. Thanks for the reply. update: I have renamed folders ~/.config/Code and ~/.vscode and then replaced them with copied folders from old laptop with working urdf pre-view. Unfortunately it didn't work. |
RobotWebTools.org is down, which is where the pane is sourced. I'm working on contacting the owner to get an ETA for restoration of the website. I'm also working on a rewrite of the pane to use Babylon.JS which doesn't require an external website - but that's a long lead time item. |
Any updates on this? I could really use this feature. I managed to find most of the js files required here All are there except Threejs's EventEmitter2.min.txt Note: I renamed the file extensions to You probably don't even need these files as the libraries are still available, its just a matter of finding a new CDN. roslib CDN Maybe you can use these as a temporary fix? Thanks :D |
Preliminary rewrite in PR - #926. I have to fix a Collada triangle inversion problem in the loader; and fix a CI issue on build. |
Is it always down ? thank you for your reponse ! |
the New URDF preview is in main. you can sideload by downloading the vsix from this page (at the bottom) NOTE: I'm still testing this, and will likely find bugs. This is almost 100% new code in the last 3 weeks, including a ground up Collada loader... If you do find a rendering or parsing issue, please file a new bug, attach or point to a URDF which exhibits the issue, and if you can, minimize it to just the blocks that have problems. Thank you! |
Thank you , however i have a green grid now but nothing displayed |
@saddekbouriah Can you post a link to the URDF you are testing with? If not the whole thing, can you reduce it to just the part that's broken? |
yes it's actually a wiki ros tutorial ps : i have the xacro command installed and it works fine and i have no errors expect this one |
Hi thanks for the effort, attached 2x screen shots> one green (love the look) with bot display wrong. >the next screen shot from old laptop same file. Also as requested the Note. not making use of Xacro's. Once feature are working I will continue build and work out the Xacro's also noted that 'left-click and drag' or 'right click and drag' and 'wheel-click and drag' > all does the same thing. Could the one pan/tilt/shift view and another move world view? Edit: just opened the attached file and it had a blank urdf pre-view. the urdf file need to be in a package/ within a ROS1 workspace. So: 'a_ros1_ws'/src/'package'/urdf/'the_downloaded_urdf_file' ........mmmmm.... one would also need the "meshes file" for the meshes used in the urdf and change the path to the "meshes file" from within the downloaded urdf file. It will be easier to just publish my ros1 workspace to github and add the link here. {back in a bit} failed at that> then cd into travelBot_ws/src and you should now be in your package called"travel_bot_description", within your workspace called "travelBot_ws". If folder travelBot_ws now opened using VS code the urdf-preview should display the urdf as pictured above. I will attempt again later to publish my workspace to Github again, just running into one error after another//success

any update please. |
@Tjaart-Hobby Thank you for your interest! The URDF previewer is mostly working in the current CI builds - https://github.com/ms-iot/vscode-ros/actions/runs/4812717992, which you can sideload by downloading vscode-ros-dev-vsix. There are a few bugs which I'd like to resolve before pushing to the pre-release pipeline. |
Closing this as it the new URDF previewer has been pushed to pre-release. |
@luewh Thanks for the feedback. I've been on the fence about usingxacro on urdfs. However, a significant portion of urdfs are actually xacros - including in mainline ROS components such as Nav2 and Turtlebot. |
