Error running px4_sitl jmavsim

1

Hello there, I posted a reply onto this discussion last night because I was having the same issue as OP. The discussion was already verified as solved, and I can see that the issue is dropping fast in the main thread lol.

I am on a 2015 Mac Book Pro (Catalina 10.15.4), and I have been following this set up tutorial from the PX4 docs to run the SITL simulation.

All downloads are successful, when I run the start command:
make px4_sitl jmavsim everything works and I get success messages.
The problem arises right when the program (GUI) starts. I get a NSException error:

In the discussion I mentioned earlier [where OP had the same exact error], the accepted solution said:

Tt works that replace adoptopenjdk 8 with development kit from official website https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/javase-jdk8-downloads.html

I did follow this, but my result did not change.

I really need help getting this sim off the ground (lol), So i can check out px4!

Now if I can not get a result from this discussion, my plan is to start over and follow the instructions from the px4 git which has completely different instructions.

*I have done plenty of digging into the NSException, but it is a little above my head. But if anyone could also take the time and explain what that is, that would be super cool!

Thanks for reading this, I appreciate it.

Have you tried this PR?

I have not, but I will check it out today. Thanks!

Thanks @JulianOes I was not able to download your commit directly (said I do not have permission). But I did reworked the tutorial, so maybe your new lib was included!

I basically walk through projects with my eyes closed and run into walls until i somehow get it working lol

I don’t think you would have tried my PR then.
