Types of Issue

Descriptive summary

Launching Rviz using the carma_default.rviz file will sometimes result in a crash. It is not clear what is causing the issue as sometimes it will load without errors. Additionally, the majority of the configuration can be rebuilt from a default rviz config without an error occurring.

Expected behavior

Rviz launches reliably with desired configuration

Actual behavior

Intermittent rviz crashes occur when opening carma config file.

Steps to reproduce the behavior

Launch the platform multiple times and try to open the carma_default.rviz file.

@msmcconnell Can you quantify the frequency of this occurrence? What is the implication when it does happen - does the user need to shut down everything and relaunch Carma, or can you just try a second time to open the rviz file?

msmcconnell commented 5 years ago

@TonysCousin The frequency is very inconsistent. Sometimes I simply just need to restart Rviz once or twice, but other times I cannot get the configuration to load at all and need to rebuild it manually from the default Rviz configuration. Restarting CARMA doesn't seem to have much impact on the behavior.
