No plugins on mavros_extras are being launched

[TSC21]

I'm trying to launch px4.launch, which is in mavros dir. Previously it was possible to load all the plugins, but now no plugin of mavros_extras is loaded. The blacklist is empty, so every plugin are supposed to load, even those on extras.
This is related to 826be38 comment.

After some analysis, it seems like the plugins on mavros_extrasare not being considered in the plugin list. Don't know how to correct this though.

Confirmed. Perhaps is pluginlib related bug. I think there was a bug with the update package.xml to format 2.

Hmm, after update ros distro (check today news), removing build & devel and recompile it works.

Check this:

$ rospack plugins --attrib=plugin mavros
mavros_extras /home/vovan/ros/src/mavros/mavros_extras/mavros_plugins.xml
mavros /home/vovan/ros/src/mavros/mavros/mavros_plugins.xml

[TSC21]

vision@ubuntu:~$ rospack plugins --attrib=plugin mavros
mavros /home/vision/vision_ros_ws/src/mavros/mavros/mavros_plugins.xml

Removing build & devel and recompiling didn't solve the problem!

Note: I'm using ROS Hydro on Ubuntu 12.04.5. Full updated. No python-rosdistro new update.

Also try to revert this commit: 81286eb

(git show <hash> | patch -p1 -R)

[TSC21]

how do I do that? git show <hash> | patch -p1 -R give me bash: syntax error near unexpected token|'`

[vooon]

Replace <hash> with 81286eb

[TSC21]

It solved! So it's the package.xml format then! Maybe you can revert it.

[vooon]

That bad sign. Maybe after 0.8/0.9 i will drop hydro as old stable. I will revert to format 1 for now.

[TSC21]

Yep. For now it's better to balance things, as there are many users of Hydro and Ubuntu 12.04
