Not working on Windows 11 with Foxy #921

Open Saad-Naseer opened 5 months ago

Saad-Naseer commented 5 months ago

Description There is no error in building process of rosbridge_suite but when i run the launch file it is looking for .exe file. I am using the command colcon build --merge-install i will create the lib folder and inside this lib folder i have .exe files for all of my packages but it will not generate the .exe file for rosbridge_server.

Steps To Reproduce

Finished <<< siam_mask [23.2s] Finished <<< rosbridge_library [29.8s] Starting >>> rosapi Finished <<< compressed_depth_image_transport [41.3s] Finished <<< compressed_image_transport [40.8s] Starting >>> image_transport_plugins Finished <<< rosapi [13.1s] Starting >>> rosbridge_server Finished <<< image_pub_sub [49.7s] Starting >>> tracking_gui Finished <<< image_transport_plugins [7.41s] Finished <<< rosbridge_server [9.69s] Starting >>> rosbridge_suite Finished <<< rosbridge_suite [2.97s] Finished <<< tracking_gui [36.3s] Starting >>> app_launch Finished <<< app_launch [6.59s]

Summary: 34 packages finished [3min 39s]

Expected Behavior .exe should be generated for rosbridge_websocket in Lib folder.

Actual Behavior it only generates rosbridge_websocket.py in and rosbridge_websocket.(no extension) image

ROS 2 Foxy has been unsupported since June 2023, and also was only supported on Windows 10, not 11: https://docs.ros.org/en/foxy/Releases/Release-Foxy-Fitzroy.html#supported-platforms

In fact, seems like even the latest version of ROS 2 still only has Windows 10 as a Tier 1 platform.

You might have luck with at least Humble? Or you may be able to roll back to an older version of this repo, but I think there are no guarantees with your particular setup, sorry to say.

Take a look at the discussion in #914, which is functionally a duplicate of this.

tldr; several rosbridge packages need to be converted to use ament_python instead of ament_cmake to work on Windows (since ament_python can generate exe wrappers, but ament_cmake does not).
