Upgrade gazebo to 7.4?

#1

Hey guys,
to open here a bit of discussion.
there seems to be a bug with Ogre and gazebo 7.2…
I was trying to upgrade gazebo to a newer version.
but, we don’t have the mercurial history anymore, how could we get changes against gazebo master?
is there a procedure to upgrade gazebo?
is this in the pipeline?

@faichele?
@ManosAngelidis?

Dear Camilo,

Yes we have an epic in this release cycle (->March 2019) to upgrade to Gazebo master branch. Though, it will be started only after Christmas, since we first finish up the workflow/frontend redesign.

Cheers,
Axel

thanks axel.
that sounds good.

do you, or any other devs have a clue or workaround for this error?
it happens when I add a robot with a camera to gazebo.

gzclient: /build/ogre-1.9-mqY1wq/ogre-1.9-1.9.0+dfsg1/OgreMain/src/OgreRenderSystem.cpp:546: virtual void Ogre::RenderSystem::setDepthBufferFor(Ogre::RenderTarget*): Assertion `bAttached && “A new DepthBuffer for a RenderTarget was created, but after creation” “it says it’s incompatible with that RT”’ failed.
