Namespace without roslaunch

Hi

I like to run a rosnode within a namespace but without roslaunch. I have to find a problem related to a multi-robot scenario because I use name spaces to start rosnotes for each robot. It looks like there is a problem with one node and I like to debug the node, so I like to start the node with a debugger but within a namespace. Is this possible?

Greetings

You should be able to set the ROS_NAMESPACE environment variable to your namespace. Everything in the node should be pushed to the namespace.

Thank you so much, that's exactly what I needed.

You can remap ros names using rosrun without problems. The operator is := . E. g. when using image_view like

rosrun image_view image_view image:=/camera/image_raw

you remap image -> /camera/image_raw. I think you can use this also to remap the namespace of your node without roslaunch.

Thanks for the hint, but I like to debug the amcl node and I do not want to to remap all topics and I want to explore some problems occurring while using a name space.
