Revision history [back]

I'm not a gazebo expert myself and I'm using Gazebo7 but I believe you have to get rid of the "-r" in the arguments of the line that launches the gazebo node in the launch file to solve this issue. If there are arguments like "--record_encoding" or "--record_path" delete them too. Running the following in a terminal might help. $ gzserver --help

Hope this helps.
