Use gzsdf command to validate sdf files

[scpeters]

We should consider using the gzsdf tool to validate auto-generated sdf files.

gzsdf check world.sdf

An alternative is to validate against a schema, when one exists (see this ticket).

Some preliminary schemas for sdf are located at:

Got it will take a look at it.

Also, I was having the following issue. I have added some new features to the maps. The sdf file which is generated works well for smaller areas, but for larger areas, I am getting the following error from gazebo.

I have run gzsdf check which returns a 'Success' value.

Could you point me as to where I might be going wrong?

It's hard to diagnose from this error message. If you post the world file on https://gist.github.com then I'll test it.

I posted the world file on gist. Here's the link: https://gist.github.com/Tashwin/78b1451a848ebbe97f76

I have added tests for output sdf file using both the schema and the gzsdf tool.

I just loaded the world file successfully. Is it still not loading properly for you?

[Tashwin]

I can load it in but I'm still getting those error messages.
