rqt_console's Issues

Problem of rqt_gui

I am using ROS Kinetic.

I tried to use arni but when i launch rqt_gui it is completely empty, not able to load arni plugins.

Please help me to solve this problem.

requesting foxy release

The last release in foxy is 1.1.1

PRs #21 and #28 were landed into the foxy branch after that but there has not been a release which includes the solutions which are in foxy-devel.

Note that in the index foxy is indexed to dashing-devel

UnicodeDecodeError when parsing strings containing Japanese characters

What happens

rqt_console dies when double clicking a message with Japanese characters:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/opt/ros/kinetic/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/rqt_console/console_widget.py", line 799, in _handle_mouse_double_click
    self._show_browsers()
  File "/opt/ros/kinetic/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/rqt_console/console_widget.py", line 588, in _show_browsers
    browsetext = self._model.get_selected_text(rowlist)
  File "/opt/ros/kinetic/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/rqt_console/message_data_model.py", line 219, in get_selected_text
    text += self._messages[row].pretty_print()
  File "/opt/ros/kinetic/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/rqt_console/message.py", line 129, in pretty_print
    text += '\n' + self.message + '\n'
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xe3 in position 6: ordinal not in range(128)

How to reproduce it

On a terminal execute roscore. On a second terminal run rqt_console. On a third terminal execute the following command:

rostopic pub /rosout rosgraph_msgs/Log "header:
  seq: 0
  stamp: {secs: 0, nsecs: 0}
  frame_id: ''
level: 2
name: 'test_name'
msg: 'test もしもし'
file: 'test_file'
function: 'test_function'
line: 69
topics: ['']" 

On the rqt_console window a line containing the message 'test もしもし' will appear. Double click on it and observe rqt_console implode

Lost messages

During high message loads (multiple messages within a few ms) RQT console will drop / miss messages and not show them in the listing. Echoing /rosout confirms the messages are actually being sent, but not being picked up by RQT. I am not exactly certain what might be the issue here, but the QOS difference shown in the topic info gist, might be a good start. Default nodes seem to use TRANSIENT_LOCAL durability, whereas RQT is using VOLATILE.

(This issue also seems to apply on foxy as well, but I have not 100% verified that claim)

Enhancement: Filtering

Hi, would like to make a suggested enhancement and not sure if this is the best place. I like using this UI however we have a lot of noise on the log files and team finds using rqt_console to be cumbersome to use when we need to filter (select/deselect) topics, etc.

Is there a way to have a multi-selection listbox (listing the topics vertically) instead of the horizontal checkbox list to select the nodes? Also could you also have the option to include specific topics/messages using dropdown list?

Thank you for your help!

"Fit Columns" button cannot be easily undone / has a counter-intuitive name

From @jbohren on November 4, 2013 14:23

In rqt_console, there is a "Fit Columns" button, which expands all the columns so that their contents isn't truncated. I propose that "Fit Columns" should be renamed to a toggle button "Expand Columns" and an additional, mutually-exclusive toggle button should be added which causes the columns to fit within the window as it gets resized.

KeyError when using unknown severity levels (ros1_bridge)

Hi!

When using the ROS1 bridge, the log messages get passed to ROS2 with different severity levels (1 instead of 10, 2 instead of 20, etc...). This causes a KeyError and an AssertionError in rqt_console/message_data_model.py:

KeyError:

rqt_console/src/rqt_console/message_data_model.py

Line 89 in 6084e59

data = Message.SEVERITY_LABELS[data]

AssertionError:

rqt_console/src/rqt_console/message_data_model.py

Line 112 in 6084e59

assert msg.severity in MessageDataModel.severity_colors, \

I fixed it locally for me - should I create pull request? Otherwise, rqt_console is basically not usable with a ROS1 bridge. Probably there are also other failure cases, as the gaps between severity levels in ROS2 were probably on purpose to let space for custom levels.

Thanks!
Karl

PS: Where is rqt_console for Foxy maintained?

rename this tool from "rqt_console" to "rqt_log" / something else

rqt_console is basically a tool to view ros logs (in the UI, it's called "message" at the column header).

the current name of rqt_console is very mis-leading especially for Windows users, "console" is commonly used for other tools (cmd terminal), it's more like a word which every user has already gotten used to.

btw, I don't suggest to call this tool as "rqt_message", since the word of "message" is more related to node/topic msgs in ros world.

Message column not resizable

The change in ros-visualization/rqt_common_plugins#398 made it so the message column is not resizable by the user (Stretch mode documentation says "The size cannot be changed by the user or programmatically.").

This is a problem when rqt starts as a small window, e.g. on small screens. Here's a screenshot from a 1366 x 768 monitor:

As you could imagine, I was annoyed that I couldn't resize the small message column (and surprised that it behaved differently to the other columns).

Perhaps it's sufficient to just change the default column width to something larger than the other columns?

rqt_console does not work after adding QoS profiles to RMW

The recent changes in rclpy make rqt_console fail where a positional qos_profile argument is now required.

ros2 run rqt_console rqt_console

(nice-to-have) move filtering classes to common pkgs

From @130s on February 7, 2013 2:26

I know it wasn't intended when rqt_console was initially written to make all those filter classes to be generic. But it would be very beneficial to have a set of filtering components that provide multiple types of filters and users can select / de-select them on GUI while system aggregates the result from all selected filters (like rqt_console does).

"OSError: [WinError 193] %1" When Running "ros2 run rqt_console rqt_console"

Hi guys,
I am learning the ROS2 on Windows by the tutorials.
I meet an error "OSError: [WinError 193] %1" when running "ros2 run rqt_console rqt_console", and the detail output is:

Traceback (most recent call last):

I want to know how to solve this.
Any answer and idea will be appreciated!
