OpenGL.error.NullFunctionError: Attempt to call an undefined function glGenVertexArrays, check for bool(glGenVertexArrays) before calling

OpenGL

Hi All,
Please help me in fixing below issue.

I am running the code on Windows VM

  • Windows: Windows Server 2016 Datacenter
  • GPU: Nvidia Tesla V100-PCIE-16GB

I am facing below error in python implementation:

OpenGL.error.NullFunctionError: Attempt to call an undefined function glGenVertexArrays, check for bool(glGenVertexArrays) before calling

Please find the stack trace below:

The VM presumably doesn’t have direct access to the video card, only to a virtualised card which likely only supports OpenGL 1.1. glGenVertexArrays requires OpenGL 3.0.

Refer to the documentation for the virtualisation software.

What GClements said. That or you haven’t properly created and bound a GL context for drawing. Details…:

From the above Python call stack paths, this apparently uses:

which uses:

Is glGenVertexArrays() the first GL function you’re calling? If so, it’s possible that a GL context wasn’t properly created and bound before you got to this point. Make sure you’re properly initializing your window system library (e.g. one of GLUT, GLFW, etc.). Some links on this:
