Framebuffer texture coming out white (fragment shader doesn't affect it) - c++

Question

So I have an fbo and trying to output a depth texture from the light source perspective. Unfortunately the depth texture is coming out pure white even if I hard code black in the frag shader.
This is my frame buffer initialization
//Render frame to a texture
m_FrameBuffer = 0;
glGenFramebuffers(1, &m_FrameBuffer);
glBindFramebuffer(GL_FRAMEBUFFER, m_FrameBuffer); // once frame buffer is bound, must draw to it or black screen
glEnable(GL_TEXTURE_2D);
glGenTextures(1, &m_depthTexture);
glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, m_depthTexture);
glTexImage2D(GL_TEXTURE_2D, 0, GL_DEPTH_COMPONENT16, 1024, 1024, 0, GL_DEPTH_COMPONENT, GL_FLOAT, 0);
glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_MAG_FILTER, GL_LINEAR);
glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_MIN_FILTER, GL_LINEAR);
glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_WRAP_S, GL_CLAMP_TO_EDGE);
glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_COMPARE_FUNC, GL_LEQUAL);
glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_COMPARE_MODE, GL_COMPARE_R_TO_TEXTURE);
glFramebufferTexture(GL_FRAMEBUFFER, GL_DEPTH_ATTACHMENT, m_depthTexture, 0);
glDrawBuffer(GL_NONE);
//Always check that our framebuffer is ok
if (glCheckFramebufferStatus(GL_FRAMEBUFFER) != GL_FRAMEBUFFER_COMPLETE)
printf("frame buffer binding error");
glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, 0);
this is my rendering of frame buffer
glBindFramebuffer(GL_FRAMEBUFFER, m_FrameBuffer);
glViewport(0, 0, 1024, 1024);
glEnable(GL_CULL_FACE);
glCullFace(GL_BACK);
glBindVertexArray(m_VAO);
glBindBuffer(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, m_VBO);
glEnableVertexAttribArray(0);
glVertexAttribPointer(0, 3, GL_FLOAT, GL_FALSE, 0, 0);
glDrawArrays(GL_TRIANGLES, 0, vertices.size());
glDisableVertexAttribArray(0);
glBindVertexArray(0);
glBindFramebuffer(GL_FRAMEBUFFER, 0);
This is my fragment shader
#version 330 core
// Ouput data
layout(location = 0) out float fragmentdepth;
void main()
{
//fragmentdepth = gl_FragCoord.z;
fragmentdepth = 0;
}
This is my main loop
while (!window.closed())
{
glEnable(GL_DEPTH_TEST);
glEnable(GL_CULL_FACE);
glDepthFunc(GL_LESS);
window.clear();
CameraControls();
depth.enable();
//depthMVP = depthProjectionMatrix * depthViewMatrix * depthModelMatrix;
depth.setUniformMat4("projection", projection);
depth.setUniformMat4("view", camera);
depth.setUniformMat4("model", shape1->modelMatrix);
shape1->RenderToTexture();
depth.disable();
window.clear();
basic.enable();
basic.setUniformMat4("proj", projection);
//basic.setUniform3f("light_Pos", lightPos);
basic.setUniformMat4("view", camera);
basic.setUniformMat4("model", shape1->modelMatrix);
basic.setUniformMat4("DepthBiasMVP", biasMatrix);
//NEED TO CHANGE THIS TO BIAS MATRIX X DEPTHMVP
//MVP = projection * camera * shape1->modelMatrix;
//basic.setUniformMat4("MVP", MVP);
shape1->Render(basic);
basic.disable();
window.update();
}

Just answering my own question after looking at my old questions that weren't resolved. If anyone is wondering, my problem was that I had fused two tutorials into one and one of them had different near and far values for the frustum. The framebuffer was black because the object was too far from the camera.
