Can you please put a ready to use Wireshark dissector lua script somewhere?

[rodizio1]

I've gone through python dependency hell and back now, tried all kinds of stuff, compiling from source, using pip packages, debian packages, tried starting all-over in a fresh vm, getting all kinds of strange error messages like File "/usr/src/mavlink/pymavlink/generator/mavgen.py", line 211, in <module> raise DeprecationWarning("Executable was moved to pymavlink.tools.mavgen") or File ./mavgen.py", line 18, in <module> from . import mavparse ValueError: Attempted relative import in non-package

Now after hours of tinkering I don't even get any output from mavgen.py or other commands like python -m pymavlink.generator.mavgen --lang=wlua mymavlink.xml -o mymavlink.lua anymore.

Apart from that, I'm totally confused by the documentation. Can you guys please, please put a ready-to-use wireshark dissector script somewhere? All I want to do is look at some wireshark traces with mavlink packets in them, not become a Python expert.

Coincidentally I may have merged a fix for that this-arvo.

Does a clean tree work for you?

Sorry, I've never used the lua stuff. I believe there's a good mavlink inspector in one of the GCS - qgroundcontrol?

The instructions in the file were outdated: they are now correct. Can you retry?

getting this error when running according to the directions: /usr/bin/python: No module named tools

Why not just have the lua script available in the git repository to download? Does it really need to be generated each time?
