qual1 /config/quals/qual1a.yaml not present?

[Wyatt Newman]

looks like the first qualifier has been released. However, the launch command is not working because the qual1a config file seems to not be present.

I did do: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install ariac2

The source here: https://bitbucket.org/osrf/ariac/src/4c154c046c2a0bd966f615bc7ed884f2266d120f/osrf_gear/config/?at=master

does not contain qual1a.yaml

Is this still the correct source repository?

[Deanna Hood]

This is still the correct source repository: qual1a is in the quals subdirectory of the config directory. Perhaps your gear.py invocation is referencing config/qual1a.yaml instead of config/quals/qual1a.yaml as instructed at https://bitbucket.org/osrf/ariac/wiki/2018/qualifiers/qual1_scenarios?

If that's not the issue, could you please provide the exact rosrun invocation you're using, and the output to the following commands:

• dpkg -s ariac2 | grep Version
• catkin_find --share osrf_gear
• roscd osrf_gear followed by ls config

[Wyatt Newman]

Ah. My osrf_gear does not contain a subdirectory "quals". I DID do the sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install ariac2 Should this have installed the new "quals" subdirectory?

[Deanna Hood]

There should be a quals subdirectory in the config directory, yes. Could you please provide the 4 points of information requested in the previous post so I can help you troubleshoot.

hi--sorry about the incompleteness. Was running between meetings. Here you go:

wyatt@Ava:~$ dpkg -s ariac2 | grep Version Version: 2.0.3+git20180306r4c154c046c2a0bd966f615bc7ed884f2266d120f-1~xenial wyatt@Ava:~$ catkin_find --share osrf_gear /home/wyatt/ros_ws/install/share/osrf_gear /home/wyatt/ros_ws/devel/share/osrf_gear /opt/ros/kinetic/share/osrf_gear wyatt@Ava:~$ roscd osrf_gear wyatt@Ava:~/ros_ws/install/share/osrf_gear$ ls config example_custom_config.yaml sample_user_config.yaml sample.yaml wyatt@Ava:~/ros_ws/install/share/osrf_gear$

This is per the installation instructions here: http://wiki.ros.org/ariac/2018/Tutorials/SystemSetup

Is this changed with the new Docker setup?

[Deanna Hood]

No worries, I can appreciate that - thanks for coming back with more info

Looks like what is happening is that you have the software installed in two locations: from our apt binaries (in /opt/ros/kinetic), and built from source in ~/ros_ws. Both of these are on your path, but the source installation has precedence. I suspect that the version from source is out of date, which is why you don't have the new config files installed in ~/ros_ws/install/share/osrf_gear/config. However, you probably have them in /opt/ros/kinetic/share/osrf_gear/config, but they don't have "priority".

What I recommend you to do is open a new terminal and only source /opt/ros/kinetic/setup.bash, do not source ~/ros_ws/install/setup.bash. As a result you should see that catkin_find --share osrf_gear will only output the /opt/ros installation, and it should be able to find the config files.

If you need to source the ~/ros_ws overlay workspace for other packages, then you should remove the ariac packages from that workspace's install directory: delete the install directory (make a backup if you like), add a file called CATKIN_IGNORE to the src/ariac directory, and rebuild the workspace. The objective is to get osrf_gear to only be installed in a single location.

Wow. Thanks. That's very helpful. BTW...do you sleep? :-)

[Deanna Hood]

Ha, at times. Glad that helped!
