Unable to Locate Resources from Generated SDF File

[EmDash00]

I've been trying to import this model for use in Gazebo Citadel (I believe) using Gazebo Sim v6 without much success.

CAD Model: https://cad.onshape.com/documents/1c63d90d811cafbc229b7bb7/w/839ee83dfd55d3b59e376792/e/b654b6774d2830de7cf6943b

I'm using the following config.json

{
    "documentId": "1c63d90d811cafbc229b7bb7",
    "outputFormat": "sdf",
}

I've set up onshape-to-robot to run inside a poetry virtual environment to isolate it.

When I try to import the resulting SDF file:

Though it does import when you do this. I would appreciate if there were some SDF examples.

It's not super clear what the error messages indicate. Any tips also on programming the joints? I'm a bit of a new Gazebo user.

You need to set the packageName attribute. If the files are in a subdirectory in the package then do this: "packagename/subfolder".

Probably a little late but I ran into this too so might as well put the answer here.
