Modern OpenGL 3.3 Core Black Texture - c++

Question

I am attempting to draw a png file using OpenGL and seem to have a problem with how I am setting up the textures.
Main.cpp:
float positions[] = {
-1.0f, -1.0f,
0.0f, 1.0f,
1.0f, 1.0f,
};
float texCoords[] = {
-1.0f, -1.0f,
-1.0f, 1.0f,
1.0f, 1.0f,
};
unsigned int buffer;
glGenBuffers(1, &buffer);
glBindBuffer(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, buffer);
glBufferData(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, sizeof(positions), positions, GL_STATIC_DRAW);
glEnableVertexAttribArray(0);
glVertexAttribPointer(0, 2, GL_FLOAT, GL_FALSE, 2 * sizeof(float), (void*)0);
glBindBuffer(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, 0);
unsigned int texBuffer;
glGenBuffers(1, &texBuffer);
glBindBuffer(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, texBuffer);
glBufferData(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, sizeof(texCoords), texCoords, GL_STATIC_DRAW);
glEnableVertexAttribArray(1);
glVertexAttribPointer(1, 2, GL_FLOAT, GL_FALSE, 2 * sizeof(float), (void*)0);
glBindBuffer(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, 0);
int w;
int h;
int comp;
unsigned char* image = stbi_load("res/images/background_level.png", &w, &h, &comp, STBI_rgb_alpha);
if (image == nullptr)
throw(std::string("Failed to load texture"));
//std::cout << image << std::endl;
unsigned int m_texture;
glGenTextures(1, &m_texture);
glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, m_texture);
glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_MIN_FILTER, GL_LINEAR);
glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_MAG_FILTER, GL_NEAREST);
if (comp == 3)
glTexImage2D(GL_TEXTURE_2D, 0, GL_RGB, w, h, 0, GL_RGB, GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE, image);
else if (comp == 4)
glTexImage2D(GL_TEXTURE_2D, 0, GL_RGBA, w, h, 0, GL_RGBA, GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE, image);
glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, 0);
stbi_image_free(image);
/* Loop until the user closes the window */
while (!glfwWindowShouldClose(window))
{
/* Render here */
glClearColor(1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0);
glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT);
// draw our first triangle
glUseProgram(programID);
glActiveTexture(GL_TEXTURE0);
glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, 0);
int uniformLoc = glGetUniformLocation(programID, "tex");
glUniform1i(uniformLoc, 0);
glDrawArrays(GL_TRIANGLES, 0, 3);
/* Swap front and back buffers */
glfwSwapBuffers(window);
/* Poll for and process events */
glfwPollEvents();
}
vertex.shader:
#shader VERTEX
#version 330 core
layout (location=0) in vec2 vert;
layout (location=1) in vec2 vertTexCoord;
out vec2 fragTexCoord;
void main() {
// Pass the tex coord straight through to the fragment shader
fragTexCoord = vertTexCoord;
gl_Position = vec4(vert, 0, 1);
}
fragment.shader:
#shader FRAGMENT
#version 330 core
uniform sampler2D tex; //this is the texture
in vec2 fragTexCoord; //this is the texture coord
out vec4 finalColor; //this is the output color of the pixel
void main() {
//finalColor = vec4(1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0);
finalColor = texture(tex, fragTexCoord);
}
If I swap the line commented out in the fragment shader, I get an all white triangle rendered. However with the line attempting to use the texture, the triangle comes out all black. I am just beginning with OpenGL so I don't necessarily have all of the beginning concepts down pat. Textures may be ahead of my skill level but I figured it couldn't hurt to try and ask here as someone may be able to show me where I have things confused.

You are calling glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, 0) instead of glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, m_texture) inside the renderloop. With this command, a texture is bound to the currently active texture unit.
