Why is this texture not showing up? - c++

Question

I am following the tutorial from learnopengl.com to make a game engine.
I am using stb_image.h to load the textures, and my own header file to compile and link the shaders.
I got to the part in Getting Started/Textures where the container.jpg texture is supposed to fill up the rectangle on the window. But whenever I compile and run the code the texture does not appear anywhere in the window. This is my texture loading code:
// Load and create a texture
unsigned int texture1;
glGenTextures(1, &texture1);
glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, texture1);
// Set the texture wrapping parameters
glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_WRAP_S, GL_REPEAT);
glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_WRAP_T, GL_REPEAT);
// Set texture filtering parameters
glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_MIN_FILTER, GL_LINEAR);
glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_MAG_FILTER, GL_LINEAR);
// Load image, create texture, and generate minmaps
int width, height, nrChannels;
unsigned char* data = stbi_load("C:\\Users\\Lucas\\OneDrive\\Desktop\\C++ Projects\\Working Game Engine\\container.jpg", &width, &height, &nrChannels, 0);
if (data) {
glTexImage2D(GL_TEXTURE_2D, 0, GL_RGB, width, height, 0, GL_RGB, GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE, data);
glGenerateMipmap(GL_TEXTURE_2D);
}
else {
std::cout << "Failed to load texture(s)\n";
}
These are the quad's coords:
float vertices[] = {
// Positions // Colors // Texture Coords
0.5f, 0.5f, 0.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f,
0.5f, -0.5f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f,
-0.5f, -0.5f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f,
-0.5f, 0.5f, 0.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f
};
unsigned int indices[] = {
0, 1, 3,
1, 2, 3
};
Render code:
// Process inputs
processInput(window);
// Render
glClearColor(0.2f, 0.3f, 0.3f, 1.0f);
glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT);
// Bind Texture
glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, texture1);
// Render Container
ourShader.use();
glBindVertexArray(VAO);
glDrawElements(GL_TRIANGLES, 6, GL_UNSIGNED_INT, 0);
// Swap buffers and poll IO events (Key pressed/released, mouse moved etc.)
glfwSwapBuffers(window);
glfwPollEvents();
Vertex shader code:
#version 460 core
layout (location = 0) in vec3 aPos;
layout (location = 1) in vec3 aColor;
layout (location = 2) in vec2 aTexCoord;
out vec3 ourColor;
out vec2 TexCoord;
void main()
{
gl_Position = vec4(aPos, 1.0);
ourColor = aColor;
TexCoord = vec2(aTexCoord.x, aTexCoord.y);
}
Fragment shader code:
#version 460 core
out vec4 FragColor;
in vec3 ourColor;
in vec2 TexCoord;
uniform sampler2D texture1;
void main()
{
FragColor = texture(texture1, TexCoord);
}
Note that no error codes are returned from the image loader or shader compilers.
The rectangle appears like this.

Answer 1

You need to update the texture1 uniform like this:
glUniform1i(glGetUniformLocation(program_id, "texture1"), 0);

Answer 2

So it turns out I didn't glEnableVertexAttribArray(); the texture coords. Quite embarrassing.
