rosidl_generator_mypy

Stub files generator for the ROS2 interfaces in Python

Installation

cd your_workspace/src
git clone https://github.com/rospypi/rosidl_generator_mypy.git

Usage

Add rosidl_generator_mypy to your CMakeLists.txt. This package will be registered as a rosidl_generate_idl_interfaces extension so that rosidl automatically find and call this library when rosidl_generate_interfaces is called.

Also, keep in mind that your package should have the build dependency for rosidl_generator_mypy in package.xml to make sure that the build tool finishes the build of rosidl_generator_mypy before building your package.

Examples:

• CMakeLists.txt

  find_package(rosidl_generator_mypy REQUIRED)

• package.xml

  <build_depend>rosidl_generator_mypy</build_depend>

rosidl CLI

We are planning to provide a rosidl CLI plugin so that you can generate stub files by the unified CLI rosidl generate. As rosidl_cli is not yet available in ROS2 distributions (except rolling), we would like to wait for it to be distributed. See the upstream issue and design proposal for more details:

• Issue: ros2/rosidl#565
• Proposal: ros2/design#310
