`Datatool create_navmesh` does not work

[JayeFu]

Habitat-Sim version

v0.2.3

🐛 Bug

Under the root directory of habitat-sim, I run ./build/utils/datatool/Datatool create_navmesh ./abandoned.glb ./abandoned.navmesh, the error shown is that

ESP_CHECK failed: esp::logging::LoggingContext: No current logging context.
Aborted (core dumped)

Steps to Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

$ ./build/utils/datatool/Datatool create_navmesh ./abandoned.glb ./abandoned.navmesh
ESP_CHECK failed: esp::logging::LoggingContext: No current logging context.
Aborted (core dumped)

The abandoned.glb is upload in the attachment (abandoned.zip) and is publicly available here [Sketchfab]

Expected behavior

It creates a navmesh file without reporting the error.

System Info

The script is run in a docker container.

The command used to install Habitat-Sim is

$ git clone --branch stable https://github.com/facebookresearch/habitat-sim.git
$ cd habitat-sim
$ pip install -r requirements.txt; python setup.py install --headless --bullet --with-cuda --build-datatool

[JayeFu]

Found a workaround.

Add a line at in main function in Datatool.cpp [Link].

esp::logging::LoggingContext current_context(Corrade::Containers::StringView("quiet"));

Then currentLoggingContext in Logging.cpp [Link] is initialized.

But I would assume there is a more elegant solution.

Thanks for identifying a workaround @JayeFu :+1: Please feel free to submit a PR with the fix and we can review or discuss alternatives there. Admittedly this part of the code is not CI tested and rarely run, so we rely on reports and fixes from users to keep it maintained.
