Unknown crash with fully packaged FreeCAD

[Cyril]

(If you see a better title, let me know)

1. I have downloaded the fully package 0.19_pre version of FreeCAD from github (FreeCAD_0.19.19697_x64_LP_12.1.2_PY3QT5-WinVS2015.7z)
2. then I ran a python script (test.py)

   Code: Select all

   import FreeCAD
   import FreeCADGui
   FreeCADGui.showMainWindow()
   FreeCADGui.exec_loop()

   in cmd inside FreeCAD/bin folder :

   Code: Select all

   python "C:\full_path\test.py"

3. Create a new document
   • On my computer it works.
   • On someone else computer it crash with following error message :

     Code: Select all

     Coin warning in cc_glglue_instance(): Error when setting up the GL context. This can happen if there is no current context, or if the context has been set up incorrectly.

     I found some old topics talking about this error but not sure it is the origin of the crash : 
     Coin warning in cc_glglue_instance(): Error when setting up the GL context
     Bug in Draft or Coin-Solved

Any idea ?
Is there a way to activate log records in the python script like when you do freecad -l from shell ?

"GL context" sounds to me like a graphics card driver problem. According to similar things collected in the Known OS specific issues topic I would try an upgrade, and if that doesn't help a downgrade can be tried as well. What graphics card do you have?

Isn't this the same error message we're seeing on the Raspberry Pi 4?

Ok, we'll try. But he can start and use FreeCAD using FreeCAD.exe without apparent issue.

Not mine. I need to ask him.
