As noted in #3125, loading a model may timeout when loading model plugins if the model contains sensor plugins that are slow to load. Since this timeout seems more likely to occur since #3121 was merged, the default timeout is increased from 5 seconds to 30 seconds, and an SDFormat world parameter <ignition:model_plugin_loading_timeout> is added to make the timeout configurable. A regression test using a test world and two test plugins is added to demonstrate the problem and confirm the fix. * Fix typos in World.hh doc-strings * Add IGN_PROFILE to World::ProcessFactoryMsgs * Disable shadow caster test on macOS Signed-off-by: Steve Peters <scpeters@openrobotics.org>

Since #3121 was recently merged, I have noticed a problem with some models that are slow to load. Specifically, if a model is spawned that contains a sensor plugin that is slow to load, it is possible that model plugins will fail to load, with the following error message:
I believe this is caused by this logic in
Model::LoadPluginsthat skips loading of model plugins if the sensors take longer than 5 seconds to initialize, which includes the time required to load sensor plugins.I have created a world file along with two test plugins to reproduce the failure in scpeters@8a2a4cc. The world has a
WorldSpawnModelPluginthat spawns a model that has a single box with a camera sensor using theSlowLoadingSensorPluginand theInitialVelocityPluginas a model plugin. The box should be given an initial velocity after loading, but the slow-loading sensor plugin causes the model plugin to not be loaded, so the box remains at its initial pose.The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
