Possible unexpected behavior in simulate due to resource path about mujoco HOT 4 CLOSED

Error: resource not found via provider or OS filesystem:
This error is because the mujoco viewer is not able to locate the mesh files. You can solve this in two ways:

• Add meshdir option in the compiler tag of xml file, and mention the path to the directory containing the mesh files
• Then write the names of mesh files directly in the mesh tag.

Or

• Use relative path directly of the files in the <mesh> under the <asset>
• Like this

Ya, <include> is generally a pretty shoddy mechanism, we are working on a more powerful replacement. In the meantime, the above can serve as temporary documentation. Thanks @rs545837

@rs545837, thank you for your suggestions. I wasn't aware of the second option.

However, I wonder if the MoJoCo documentation for <include> should mention that meshdir and texturedir are the responsibility of the user for the included model files. I have mistakenly assumed that simulate is aware of the folder structure specified in the included xml files.

Thank you @yuvaltassa Not sure if it matters, but I prefer to specify full paths to access resources.
