Trouble running red_light_green_light.py

[gerkey]

I think that the problem is this first line in that file:

# BEGIN ALL

Can you try removing that line and report back on whether it works? As an alternative, you should be able to run the program with that line intact if you explicitly invoke Python, e.g.:

python red_light_green_light.py

That line is part of the special mark-up used to include the code chunk-by-chunk in the book. Wherever it appears as the first line in a file, we should move it to come after the shebang line that declares the interpreter. For mark-up purposes, we could add a duplicate shebang line after, e.g.:

#!/usr/bin/env python
# BEGIN ALL
#!/usr/bin/env python

It looks a little odd, but should work for both use cases (running the code or including it in the book).

Thanks for the reply!

I tried removing the

# BEGIN ALL

and re-ran. I did not encounter an error, but did not see any movement out of the turtlebot.

Same for solutions 2 and 3. As a side note, I am able to teleop the turtlebot.

Agreed. This was a very unfortunate typo.

Also if I run roswtf I get:

Static checks summary:

For the turtlebot to move , it has to be given the following cmd :
rosrun wanderbot red_light_green_light.py cmd_vel:=cmd_vel_mux/input/teleop

Are you reporting a correction or are you having a problem with the example?
