OpenGL program won't display any objects? - c++

Question

An OpenGL project can't display any object anymore. I tried to remake everything from scratch but it still doesn't works.
Main Code
#include <vector>
#include <iostream>
#include <glm/glm.hpp>
#include <glm/gtc/type_ptr.hpp>
#include <GL/glew.h>
#include <GLFW/glfw3.h>
#include <imgui.h>
#include <imgui_impl_glfw_gl3.h>
#include "Loader.h"
void on_error(int error, const char* description)
{
std::cout << "GLFW error " << error << " : \"" << description << "\"" << std::endl;
}
int main()
{
//Init glfw
glfwSetErrorCallback(on_error);
if (!glfwInit()) return -1;
glfwWindowHint(GLFW_SAMPLES, 4);
glfwWindowHint(GLFW_CONTEXT_VERSION_MAJOR, 4);
glfwWindowHint(GLFW_CONTEXT_VERSION_MINOR, 3);
glfwWindowHint(GLFW_OPENGL_PROFILE, GLFW_OPENGL_CORE_PROFILE);
//Init window
auto window = glfwCreateWindow(1920, 1080, "gl_Crane", NULL, NULL);
if (!window) { glfwTerminate(); return -1; }
glfwMakeContextCurrent(window);
//Init glew
glewExperimental = true;
if (glewInit() != GLEW_OK) { glfwTerminate(); return -1; }
//Some opengl options
glEnable(GL_DEPTH_TEST);
glEnable(GL_DEBUG_OUTPUT);
glDepthFunc(GL_LESS);
//glEnable(GL_CULL_FACE);
//matrices
std::vector<glm::vec3> vertices = {
{-.2f, -.2f, 0}, {0, .2f, 0}, {.2f, -.2f, 0}
};
std::vector<glm::vec3> colors = {
{1, 0, 0}, {0, 1, 0}, {0, 0, 1}
};
std::vector<GLushort> indexes = {
0, 1, 2
};
//vertexArray
GLuint vertex_array;
glGenVertexArrays(1, &vertex_array);
glBindVertexArray(vertex_array);
//vertexbuffer
GLuint vertex_buffer;
glGenBuffers(1, &vertex_buffer);
glBindBuffer(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, vertex_buffer);
glBufferData(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, sizeof(glm::vec3) * vertices.size(), vertices.data(), GL_STATIC_DRAW);
glVertexAttribPointer(0, 3, GL_FLOAT, GL_FALSE, sizeof(glm::vec3), nullptr);

glBufferData(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, sizeof(glm::vec3) * colors.size(), colors.data(), GL_STATIC_DRAW);
glVertexAttribPointer(1, 3, GL_FLOAT, GL_FALSE, sizeof(glm::vec3), nullptr);
//indexbuffer
GLuint index_buffer;
glGenBuffers(1, &index_buffer);
glBindBuffer(GL_ELEMENT_ARRAY_BUFFER, index_buffer);
glBufferData(GL_ELEMENT_ARRAY_BUFFER, sizeof(GLushort) * indexes.size(), indexes.data(), GL_STATIC_DRAW);
glBindVertexArray(0);
//Init shader
auto shader_program = new ShaderProgram;
shader_program->initFromFiles("../Crane/simple.vert", "../Crane/simple.frag");
//shader_program->addUniform("MVP");
ImGui_ImplGlfwGL3_Init(window, true);
glfwSwapInterval(1);
while (!glfwWindowShouldClose(window))
{
ImGui_ImplGlfwGL3_NewFrame();
ImGui::Text("Application average %.3f ms/frame (%.1f FPS)", 1000.0f / ImGui::GetIO().Framerate, ImGui::GetIO().Framerate);
//maj viewport
int display_w, display_h;
glfwGetFramebufferSize(window, &display_h, &display_w);
glViewport(0, 0, display_w, display_h);
//clear screen
glClearColor(.2f, .2f, .2f, 0);
glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT);
//draw stuff
shader_program->use();
glBindVertexArray(vertex_array);
glEnableVertexAttribArray(0);
glEnableVertexAttribArray(1);
//auto mvp = glm::mat4(1);
//glUniformMatrix4fv(shader_program->uniform("MVP"), 1, GL_FALSE, glm::value_ptr(mvp));
glDrawElements(GL_TRIANGLES, indexes.size(), GL_UNSIGNED_SHORT, nullptr);
glDisableVertexAttribArray(0);
glDisableVertexAttribArray(1);
glBindVertexArray(0);
shader_program->disable();
ImGui::Render();
glfwSwapBuffers(window);
glfwPollEvents();
}
shader_program->disable();
ImGui_ImplGlfwGL3_Shutdown();
glfwTerminate();
return 0;
}
Fragment shader
#version 430
in vec3 fColors;
out vec4 fragColors;
void main()
{
fragColors = vec4(fColors, 1.0);
}
Vertex shader
#version 430
layout (location = 0) in vec4 vertexPosition;
layout (location = 1) in vec3 vertexColor;
out vec3 fColors;
void main()
{
fColors = vertexColor;
gl_Position = vertexPosition;
}
Additionally, I use the shader loader from here :
r3dux shader loader

In your program the Depth Test (glEnable(GL_DEPTH_TEST)).
The depth of a fragment is stored in a separate buffer. This buffer has to be cleared too, at the begin of every frame, as you do it with the color buffer. See glClear:
glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT | GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT);
Of course, if you would disable the depth test, then you would "see" the triangle, too.
