Follow up of #46. Based on this question: https://answers.ros.org/question/362449/colcon-builds-but-gives-errordbusconnectionunable-to-set-arguments/
If DBus reports the signature as
susssasa{ss}i
the current code results in aTypeError: Expected a string or unicode object
since the hint value isn't a string /s
. It does work when the signature is reported assusssasa{sv}i
which allows a variant type for the hint value.This patch uses
set_hint_byte()
which hopefully works around the problem.
