Unable to call parseURDF on robot model, robot not spawning in environment #42

I am getting the error regarding the spawning of the robot in Gazebo, as it appears that the URDF cannot be parsed and is not being interpreted as a URDF model.
I am following the tutorial and running roslaunch vorc_gazebo marina.launch after setting up the environment.
The issue is highlighted as the cora_description/urdf/cora.xacro file in the launch file vorc_gazebo/launch/marina.launch.
The error that I specifically get about spawning the robot is the following:

Error [parser_urdf.cc:3183] Unable to call parseURDF on robot model
Error [parser.cc:488] parse as old deprecated model file failed.
[ERROR] [1631111854.385672, 10.152000]: Spawn service failed. Exiting.

Is this an issue that was seen before that may be linked to incorrect installation, or is there need for development with this issue?
