Intro

I'm using MuJoCo to simulate a robot and use the provided compiler to compile and validate models in an automated way.

My setup

I'm using the MuJoCo 3.3.3 with C API on 64bit Ubuntu 24.04.

What's happening? What did you expect?

The MuJoCo compiler sample/compile.cc does not set a non-zero exit code on error, e.g. if the model file does not exist or is invalid.

Steps for reproduction

• Invoke the compiler with a non-existing file: compile non-existing.xml output.mjb
• OR: Invoke the compiler with incorrect arguments: compile foo
• OR: Invoke the compiler with non-model input file: compile not-a-model.xml output.mjb

Minimal model for reproduction

Bug is independent of model.

Code required for reproduction

Bug is independent of API code.
