V-REP crashes after selecting SDF import option from Plugins drop down menu

Post by Smitty44 »

Hi there,
I'm brand new to V-REP. I installed V-REP PRO EDU 3.6.0 for windows, about a month ago.
But before I used it, I received the notification that 3.6.1 was available.
So, I installed that one. I have created a robot model using Fusion 360 and used its addin to export it for V-REP.
After starting V-REP interface, I chose <plugin > from the menu and clicked on <SDF import...>.
After a few seconds, V-REP crashed.
The messages from the terminal indicates everything loaded successfully, including SDF.

Exactly when I clicked on SDF import..., the following message appeared in the terminal:
CustomUI: d:\v_rep\programming\v_repextcustomui\plugin.cpp:53 FATAL: fileDialog should NOT be called from UI thread

...then nothing for a few seconds, but as it crashed, this message showed for a split second:
QMutex: destroying locked mutex

So, my first thought is, its probably related to a version mismatch of some type.
I do have Python 3.6.5 (Anaconda3 5.2.0 64-bit distribution), Fusion 360, Java 8 Update 191 (64-bit), Visual Studio, and Visual C++ with dates: 2010 thru 2017, loaded on my Alienware Aurora purchased last September.

So, I uninstalled the V-REP 3.6.1 version and went back to 3.6.0. But same result.
I searched on the internet and on the forum but didn't find any matches.
Has anyone encountered this or know what the messages really point to?

Hello,

thanks for reporting this issue.

A few questions:
  • Does it happen always (i.e. when trying multiple times)?
  • Does it happen with any SDF model?
  • Can you share a SDF model which causes the crash?

Hi fferri,
Thanks for replying.
Yes it happens every time.

I never get the chance to attempt to import a model.
It crashes exactly when I choose <SDF import...> from the Plugins drop down list.
