can not launch firos from a launch file

[marija185]

Hi Dominik, we are facing some problems with launching firos from a common launch file. It works when starting from another terminal as:

rosrun firos core.py

But when putting this to a launch file:

    <!-- Run FIROS -->
    <node name="firos" pkg="firos" type="core.py" />

it says error:

process[firos-5]: started with pid [29406]
usage: core.py [-h] [-P PORT] [--conf CONF_FOLD] [--ros-port ROS_PORT]
               [--ros-node-name ROS_NODE_NAME] [--loglevel LOGLEVEL]
core.py: error: unrecognized arguments: __name:=firos __log:=/home/marija/.ros/log/a4b8beac-3a8f-11e9-b1de-b0359ffc31f9/firos-5.log

Thanks, Marija

The current FIROS does not allow additional arguments like __name:=* or __log:=*.

I was not aware that a roslaunch sets additional arguments like this. I'll try to fix this as soon as possible.

The Error should be now removed via f9db90316200d95fb19d0dc7e04fe248deff09d1 . This Issue is related with: #3

You should be now able to start FIROS via roslaunch. It is also possible to add additional arguments, like the ros-port.

<launch>
    <node name="firos2" pkg="firos" type="core.py" args="--ros-port 4567" />
</launch>

Let me know if there are similar Issues!

Best Regards, Dominik

Thanks Dominik, it works now!!!! Best regards, Marija

small remark - it also works without args:

    <node name="firos" pkg="firos" type="core.py" />
