srdf setup issue

[zingff]

HI! When I use ./tesseract_qt_srdf_app to modify a custom robot loading a urdf model, I ran into this error:

$ ./tesseract_qt_srdf_app 
libEGL warning: DRI2: failed to create dri screen
libEGL warning: DRI2: failed to create dri screen
Warning: ContactManagersPluginFactory, tried to get discrete contact manager '' that does not exist!

Error:   Discrete manager with  does not exist in factory!
         at line 809 in /home/zing/mealAssistiveRobot/tesseract_ws/src/tesseract/tesseract_environment/src/environment.cpp

Then i tried a model in tesseract_support: abb_irb2400.urdf and it srdf, still error.

$ ./tesseract_qt_srdf_app

And in both situations, in the Kinematic Groups and Kinematic Group Joint States menu, the links and joints can not be loaded, there is no option when clicking chain/joints/links drop-down menu.

Is this a bug to fix? If i want to generate the config files for other robots which are not listed in tesseract_support/srdf, any alternatives? can i use something else like moveit_setup_assistant in MoveIt?

Yea, I have not gotten around to finishing this. You can use the moveit_setup_assistant to generate the srdf but things like the collision checker and kinematics yaml you will have to manually create.
