🧑‍🌾 Flaky SimulationFeaturesFallingTest and JointFeaturesAttachDetachTest failing when run on Windows

[Crola1702]

Environment

• OS Version: Windows
• Source Gazebo Garden

Description

• Expected behavior: All test should pass
• Actual behavior: 4 tests from SimulationFeaturesFallingTest test suite fail when built on Windows nuc

Steps to reproduce

1. Run a build in gz-physics6 job on Windows Nuc
2. See tests fail.

Output

Reference build: https://build.osrfoundation.org/job/ign_physics-gz-6-win/52/

Test regressions:

• JointFeaturesAttachDetachTest/0.JointAttachMultiple
• SimulationFeaturesStepTest/0.StepWorld
• SimulationFeaturesFallingTest/0.Falling
• SimulationFeaturesShapeFeaturesTest/0.ShapeFeatures

Log output:

C:\Jenkins\workspace\ign_physics-gz-6-win\ws\gz-physics\test\common_test\joint_features.cc:1288
The difference between 0.0 and body2LinearVelocity.Z() is 0.010009272024035454, which exceeds 1e-3, where
0.0 evaluates to 0,
body2LinearVelocity.Z() evaluates to -0.010009272024035454, and
1e-3 evaluates to 0.001.

• These tests are failing only on Windows Nuc
  • Beefy green build
  • Nuc yellow build

From the COMMON_TEST_simulation_features_bullet test suite: Most of the tests in Beefy are skipped, however, the only 2 that run, fail.

• SimulationFeaturesFallingTest/0.Falling: is skipped on Beefy, but not on Nuc
  • The failure in Nuc shows: unknown file: error: C++ exception with description "Access violation - no RTTI data!" thrown in the test body. (Related to https://github.com/osrf/buildfarmer/issues/321)
• SimulationFeaturesStepTest/0.StepWorld: passes in Beefy, but not on Nuc
  • The failure in Nuc shows: unknown file: error: SEH exception with code 0xc0000005 thrown in the test body. (Related to https://github.com/osrf/buildfarmer/issues/320)

In conclusion: Weird Windows problems here

I've documented some investigation of the SEH exception issues in #520

These regressions haven't happened since 2024-08-02. I'm closing this for now
