Hi there,

I am using ros-diamondback on Ubuntu 11.04-64bit.

I am launching the following launch file:

<launch>
     <node pkg="tf type="static_transform_publisher" name="blub" args ="0 0 0 0 0 0 blub blub2 100" />
</launch>

In another terminal I run roswtf

Loaded plugin tf.tfwtf
No package or stack in context

Online checks summary:

Found 2 error(s).

ERROR Communication with [/blub] raised an error: 
ERROR Communication with [/rosout] raised an error:

I tried to set ROS_IP and ROS_HOSTNAME by hand, but still the same error. The funny thing is, that there is no error. Everything works as expected. I can listen to the tf topic and receive data.

Can anybody tell me, why roswtf thinks that there is an error?

Thx

Hi,

here the output of your script:

[/rosout] ok
[/blub] ok

please use the comment feature instead of posting answers to your question. the above output indicates that things should be working fine, so I'm a bit stumped. I've updated my previous answer with a patch you can apply to roswtf/src/roswtf/graph.py, which should give a traceback from roswtf

Can you try running the following script? (save to check.py, run "python check.py")

import time
import xmlrpclib
import socket
import traceback
import roslib.scriptutil
from ros import rosnode

def check(n):
    master = roslib.scriptutil.get_master()
    try:
        socket.setdefaulttimeout(3.0)
        node_api = rosnode.get_api_uri(master, n)
        if not node_api:
            print "Master does not have lookup information for node [%s]"%n
            return

        node = xmlrpclib.ServerProxy(node_api)
        start = time.time()
        socket.setdefaulttimeout(3.0)
        code, msg, bus_info = node.getBusInfo('/roswtf')
        end = time.time()
        if (end-start) > 1.:
            print "Communication with node [%s] is very slow"%n
        if code != 1:
            print "Node [%s] would not return bus info"%n
        print "[%s] ok"%(n)
    except socket.error, e:
        pass #ignore as we have rules to catch this
    except Exception, e:
        traceback.print_exc()

check('/rosout')
check('/blub')

Update: patch to apply to roswtf/src/roswtf/graph.py to get more debugging information:
