'gl function was not loaded' in example code

[mlakewood]

Hi,

Im trying to run the example code from the first step of the book. This is my code

use valora::prelude::*;

fn main() -> Result<()> {
    run_fn(Options::from_args(), |_gpu, world, _rng| {
        Ok(move |ctx: Context, canvas: &mut Canvas| {
            canvas.set_color(LinSrgb::new(1., 1., 1.));
            canvas.paint(Filled(ctx.world));

            let max_radius = world.width / 3.;
            let radius = ctx.time.as_secs_f32().cos().abs() * max_radius;

            canvas.set_color(LinSrgb::new(1., 0., 0.));
            canvas.paint(Filled(Ellipse::circle(world.center(), radius)));
        })
    })
}

This is running on OS X 10.14.6.

Any ideas where I should be looking.

I don't have access to Mac OS so I can't look into this, but there is an issue open for it on glium.

https://github.com/glium/glium/issues/1840

[mlakewood]

I have submitted a really bad and terrible PR that somebody might be able to make better here -> https://github.com/glium/glium/pull/1846. This is more of a "this is where it breaks fix" so if you have any input it would be greatly appreciated.

Not sure if this is really a fix. For me it prevents the panic on init but with both simple and diamonds examples all I get is a black window.

Experiencing the same issue, this makes valora unusable on mac.

Experiencing this issue, Valora looks amazing but has been broken on macos for 8+ months.

As Payton said, this is upstream. We're barking up the wrong tree here.
