[nino192]

Environment

• OS Version: Ubuntu 24.04 Noble
• Source or binary build?
  Gazebo Harmonic v 8.8.0
• Graphics card (integrated): VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation WhiskeyLake-U GT2 [UHD Graphics 620] (rev 02)
• NVIDIA driver: Driver Version: 550.120
  • Rendering plugin: ogre2

Description

• Expected behavior: Gazebo loads an empty world when empty is clicked and ran
• Actual behavior: Gazebo always loads "Tugbot in warehouse" world no matter what is selected in the GUI

Steps to reproduce

1. Open gz sim and select "Tugbot in warehouse"
2. After running, save the world and exit gazebo
3. Run gz sim again and try selecting any other world from the GUI. Gazebo always loads "Tugbot in warehouse".

Have you tried restarting? It's possible that there was a server running in the background that has not died. You could also try pgrep ruby to see if there is a process in the background that's running gazebo.

After restarting the issue goes away. Still, pretty weird that it behaved like this and I cannot reproduce it again.. Thanks
