Model Spawns but no messages on High Sierra

[Former user]

Using with melodic and gazebo9. Model spawns normally and spawn Urdf exits cleanly but no topics are advertised. Normal topics from gazebo work fine: joint states and link states reflect the Urdf. But the topics advertised by plugins don't show up.

I figured out a workaround for this after some foraging on the gazebo_plugins GitHub

For every plugin Specify the absolute path of the plugin library. Somehow the DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable does not impact the plugin loading code.

This seems to be a High Sierra/ OSX issue so please go ahead and close this ticket and I would request that we create a Forum post to save time for everyone else trying the OSX (mis)adventure...
