Are services working on rosserial_windows for anybody?

I had no issue with topics. Well, except the following warnings by rosserial_server socket_node:

[ WARN] [1487041524.344921905]: Failed to call message_info service. Proceeding without full message definition.
[ WARN] [1487041524.345067742]: Advertising on topic [/turtle1/cmd_vel] with an empty message definition.  Some tools (e.g. rosbag) may not work correctly.

However, the generated rosservice API...

template<typename MReq, typename MRes>
bool serviceClient(ServiceClient<MReq, MRes>& srv)

... disagreed with the Jade API:

template<class MReq , class MRes >
ServiceClient serviceClient (const std::string &service_name, bool persistent=false, const M_string &header_values=M_string())

// Matches tutorials
template<class Service >
ServiceClient serviceClient (const std::string &service_name, bool persistent=false, const M_string &header_values=M_string())

Also, ros::ServiceClient.call() returns a void in generated code, but a bool according to the Jade API.

When I used the functions and messages (those in rospy_tutorials) that were available, I ended up with a md5sum mismatch error from add_two_ints:

[WARN] [WallTime: 1487041770.026137] Could not process inbound connection: request from [/rosserial_server_socket_node]: md5sums do not match: [] vs. [6a2e34150c00229791cc89ff309fff21]{'service': '/add_two_ints', 'md5sum': '', 'persistent': '0', 'callerid': '/rosserial_server_socket_node'}

and the following errors from rosserial_server socket node:

[ INFO] [1487041524.348951852]: waitForService: Service [/service_info] has not been advertised, waiting...
[ WARN] [1487041529.352305456]: Timed out waiting for service_info service to become available.
[ WARN] [1487041529.352869481]: Failed to call service_info service. The service client will be created with blank md5sum.
[ WARN] [1487041529.352917157]: Service client setup: Request message MD5 mismatch between rosserial client and ROS
[ WARN] [1487041529.353489848]: Service client setup: Response message MD5 mismatch between rosserial client and ROS

ROS parameters don't work either.

Is something wrong with what I am doing or is the roslib code generated by rosserial_windows using a 3-year-old API (Hydro?) that no longer exists? Did it ever work in the first place? (There's no tutorial for services or ROS params.)

My setup (both computers): ROS Indigo, Ubuntu 14.04, Windows 7 SP1, Visual Studio 2015

I'm not sure, but I'd first fix the "Failed to call message_info service." error. Are you using any of the provided launch files? Because launch/socket.launch starts message_info fi.

Also: can you please clarify what you mean when you mention Hydro? In general mixing and matching versions of ROS is discouraged, but for rosserial it typically really does not work.

I have a similar problem -- service client not working. My environment: Windows 10 / Visual Studio 2015 Ubuntu 16.04 ROS-Kinetic

and when I install rosserial-windows, I installed the kinetic version i.e. sudo apt-get install ros-kinetic-rosserial-windows and ros-kinetic-rosserial-server
