file:///D:/urdfpreviewer3.pngI want to use the VScode extension Develop Robot Operating System (ROS) with Visual studio Code to display urdf models. Currently, when I open Visual studio Code with catkin_ws and use Ctrl + Shift + P to open the vscode command palette and do ROS: Preview URDF, I get a black screen with no error message as shown in the following image. Please let me know the solution.

I have re-installed the extension ros for Visual studio Code many times.

According to the maintainer, RobotWebTools.org is down which the vscode ROS extension depends on per the recommendation of the docs.

The issue can be tracked at https://github.com/ms-iot/vscode-ros/issues/908.

The VScode extension use "robotwebtools.org" for running the URDF, and this domain is down at this moment.

You can go to the "Ros" extension and click on "Switch to pre-release Version" and after a vs code reboot, you can enjoy the "Ros: preview URDF".
