Fix T99706: Crash rendering with headless builds Authored by Campbell Barton (campbellbarton) on Jul 15 2022, 6:28 AM.
Details
When rendering with headless builds, show an error instead of crashing. Previously GPU_backend_init was called indirectly from DRW_opengl_context_create, a new function is now called from the window manager (GPU_backend_init_once), so it's possible to check if the GPU has a back-end. This also disables the bgl Python module when building WITH_HEADLESS.
Diff Detail
Event TimelineComment Actions Does this means headless builds are now unable to create a GL context? IIRC some implementation of EGL allows this. But if headless builds mean no GPU backend, so be it. If that's not the case, I would prefer to see a a "try and catch error" approach instead. Comment Actions Yes, the headless builds don't have an OpenGL context. This could be supported but it's currently not the case. Comment Actions This causes Eevee background renders to crash, I'll quickly commit a fix since the studio here is relying on Eevee for the Project Heist. |
