Hi there,

is it possible to skip looking for models online?

Similar to this, but without downloading the models.

Thanks, Andrei

With Gazebo 9, I tried setting GAZEBO_MODEL_DATABASE_URI to "" with no effect as it seems to get the default value from somewhere else. However, setting it to any value like "/" did the trick for me.

Hi,

i've got the same problem. Since a few hours the Gazebo Model Database seems to be offline. In order to skip downloading the databse.config, i followed the hints above. Unfortunately, this doesn't help. I receive the following message

Error [ModelDatabase.cc:228] No <database> tag in the model database database.config found here[http://gazebosim.org/models/]
Error [ModelDatabase.cc:287] Unable to download model manifests

Are there any ideas?

Best regards!

I did not check on the latest version, but on Gazebo ~2/3 setting GAZEBO_MODEL_DATABASE_URI to "" had the effect of skipping the download of online models.

thanks, this does skip connecting to the gz database, however it still tries to connect to the empty one: `[Wrn] [ModelDatabase.cc:207] Unable to connect to model database using [//database.config]. Only locally installed models will be available.`

Yes.. as far as I remember that warning did not had any effect (i.e. there was no timeout).
