kellyguo11 · web-flow · commit ae41e2aca68b · 2026-04-23T23:33:04.000-07:00
# Description - Skips `source/isaaclab_tasks/test/benchmarking/test_environments_training.py` until we resolve auto-cancel issue with pipeline where previous jobs gets cancelled on newer commits. - Marks `TheiaTiny` environment tests with xfail - Skips `test_deformable_object.py` due to crash - Reverts SDP change that removed USD fallback path for Newton model creation - Adds flaky test to `test_rendering_correctness.py‎` shadow hand test ## Type of change  - Bug fix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue) ## Checklist - [x] I have read and understood the [contribution guidelines](https://isaac-sim.github.io/IsaacLab/main/source/refs/contributing.html) - [x] I have run the [`pre-commit` checks](https://pre-commit.com/) with `./isaaclab.sh --format` - [x] I have made corresponding changes to the documentation - [x] My changes generate no new warnings - [ ] I have added tests that prove my fix is effective or that my feature works - [ ] I have updated the changelog and the corresponding version in the extension's `config/extension.toml` file - [ ] I have added my name to the `CONTRIBUTORS.md` or my name already exists there

 Changelog
 ---------
 
+0.5.22 (2026-04-23)
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Fixed
+^^^^^
+
+* Fixed ``RuntimeError: NewtonWarpRenderer requires a Newton model but the scene data provider
+  returned None`` when a Direct env (e.g. ``ShadowHandVisionEnv``, ``CartpoleCameraEnv``)
+  uses ``physx`` physics with the ``newton_warp`` renderer. The
+  :class:`~isaaclab_physx.scene_data_providers.PhysxSceneDataProvider` now falls back to a
+  USD-traversal Newton build when the cloner-time prebuilt artifact is absent, and stashes
+  the freshly built artifact on the simulation context so subsequent providers reuse it.
+
+
