"roslaunch gazebo_worlds empty_world.launch" does not start properly in my Groovy installation

Question

Runing "roslaunch gazebo_worlds empty_world.launch" I get:

Gazebo multi-robot simulator, version 1.3.0 Copyright (C) 2012 Nate Koenig, John Hsu, and contributors. Released under the Apache 2 License. http://gazebosim.org

Have these examples been tested so they are supposed to be working in Groovy? Any idea of what can be wrong or what I should test?

Hi,

You have to update the world file to sdf 1.3. You can do it with gzsdf tool. The command should be
$gzsdf convert your.sdf

Cheers
