Drone not visible in Gazebo in ROS DEBUG CASES

[Joseph1001]

In Chapter 5, ROS Debug Cases, the goal is to move the drone using action commands.
Here, there is no drone in the simulation, leaving an empty Gazebo as below:

When i ran the cmd rosservice call /gazebo/get_world_properties “{}”, i get sjtu_drone as one of the models in the simulation, but not visible in the simulation.

sim_time: 585.87
model_names: [robocup_3Dsim_field_0, grey_wall, jersey_barrier, nist_stairs_120, nist_maze_wall_240,
  nist_elevated_floor_120, nist, jersey_barrier_0, sjtu_drone]
rendering_enabled: True
success: True
status_message: "GetWorldProperties: got properties"

I tried the solution from @albertoezquerro at Click Link, i get the following result:

user:~$ git checkout kinetic-gazebo7

> fatal: not a git repository (or any parent up to mount point /home)
> Stopping at filesystem boundary (GIT_DISCOVERY_ACROSS_FILESYSTEM not set).

Can you guide me on this?

Hi @Joseph1001 ,

thanks for reporting the issue.

This was actually a problem on our side. Gzweb was reporting that the models/sjtu_drone/quadrotor_4.dae file does not exist.
I just published a fix. How the drone should load properly.

Again, thank you very much for reporting it.

@ralves , i just checked, its working well now, thanks for helping out. Could you also create a category to post Queries related to Debug Cases course, since i could not find one in the scroll down menu, and hence had to post this topic under “General Support” category.
