Using xacro in ROS 2 #243

Closed max-assel closed 4 years ago

max-assel commented 4 years ago

I downloaded ROS 2 dashing for windows 10 through this link: https://index.ros.org/doc/ros2/Installation/Dashing/Windows-Install-Binary/ and then followed this tutorial to set up the xacro package since it was not included in the ROS 2 installation: https://index.ros.org/doc/ros2/Tutorials/Workspace/Creating-A-Workspace/

However, now when I try to run "ros2 run xacro xacro --xacro-ns custom.xacro > custom.urdf" in the dev_ws that I cloned the xacro package to, I get the following:

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "C:\dev\ros2-dashing\Scripts\ros2-script.py", line 11, in load_entry_point('ros2cli==0.7.10', 'console_scripts', 'ros2')()

File "c:\python37\lib\subprocess.py", line 1207, in _execute_child startupinfo)

OSError: [WinError 193] %1 is not a valid Win32 application

Would anyone be able to help me with this?

This doesn't seem to be a xacro problem. Looks like the binary/script to execute is not found by Windows. Please check your workspace settings and direct this questions to ROS answers. The github issues are intended for bug reports.
