Real-time interactive 3D viz is broken in 4.4.5

Closed this issue · 1 comments

Environment
Which version of REBOUND are you using and on what operating system?

  • REBOUND Version: 4.4.5
  • API interface: Python
  • Operating System (including version): MacOS Sequoia 15.1.1

Describe the bug
Attempting to setup the real-time interactive 3D visualization results in rebound.html that just contains the text Not Found.

To Reproduce
Run the code snippet presented in the documentation

import rebound
sim = rebound.Simulation()
sim.start_server()

Opening localhost:1234 in the browser gives Not Found.

Additional context
I believe the root cause is that rebound.html is not bundled with the latest release. The curl command here tries to download it from the latest release which results in a 404 error. Manually downloading rebound.html from an earlier release seems to resolve my issue.

Thanks! That was my oversight and it should be fixed now.

I'll write a script to let the CI do this automatically in the future.
