Failed to load nodelet '/acquisition_node of type acquisition/capture_nodelet to manager vision_nodelet_manager'

[dostyaaa]

System Description
Camera Name and Model: BFS-U3-28S5C-C
Operating System: Ubuntu 18.04
Spinnaker Version: 2.0.0.147
ROS Version: Melodic 1.14.10

Computer details
Processor: Intel i7-6600u 2.6 GHz
RAM: 16GB

Multiple Cameras Only
How is the triggering setup? Master/Slave or all slaves or all software triggered?

For USB 3.0 cameras:
On same USB 3.0 bus or different buses?
Is the USB 3.0 hub externally powered?

For Ethernet cameras:
How busy is the network, does the system work in grayscale, at a lower resoultion (binning) and framerate?

Do the cameras work with SpinView?
Yes, working perfectly fine

Describe the bug
Built sdk_driver with catkin without problems. Once i tried to launch acquisition.launch got the following error :

[FATAL] [1612185131.933308616]: Failed to load nodelet '/acquisition_nodeof typeacquisition/capture_nodeletto managervision_nodelet_manager'

Tried both dev and master branch, same problem. Modify cam ids in the yaml file, same problem. Tried to upgrade sdk spinnaker but works with Ubuntu 20.04. Running out of ideas...

@dostyaaa One issue I noticed is that Camera IDs is not being read. Are you sure, you have formatted the yaml file correctly? In general I don't expect rosrun to work since our node needs a lot of parameters set correctly, which is done with the roslaunch files. All our testing is done with Ubuntu 16.04 and ROS kinetic, but others have reported being able to run with 18.04 and Ros Melodic. Can you check your launch file to see which yaml file it is calling and paste the yaml file here.

[dostyaaa]

Thanks for your answer shahvi. Launch file calls the defaut test_params.yaml.

cam_ids:

• 20285628
  cam_aliases:
• cam0
  master_cam: 20285628

  delay: 1.0

#Assign all the follwing via launch file to prevent confusion and conflict

#save_path: ~/projects/data

#color: false

#soft_framerate: 20 # this frame rate reflects to the software frame rate set using ros::rate
#exp: 997
#to_ros: true #When to_ros is not selected, but live is selected, pressing 'space' exports single image to ROS

Black dots are '-', github automatically changes it.

I think you have the yaml formatting incorrect. Every space and line break matters. Take a look at the example file. You cam_ids is being read as "-20285628" instead of a list, same for master_cam

[dostyaaa]

Ref:

My version:

To me there is no difference.

[ghost]

Reading the yaml is done outside the node. Roslaunch reads the yaml file and loads the parameters to the ROS parameter server. Our node reads it from the parameter server. You could check if the file is being read into the ROS parameter server by running rosparam list, you might have to start a separate roscore before running the launch file so that the ros master doesn't close when the node seg faults.

[dostyaaa]

Seems to be read with the correct id:

[robwaat]

For anyone else with this issue, the problem seems to have been a change in the ROS API between kinetic and melodic that prevents execution of code within ROS_ASSERT_MSG() macro calls.

These are used frequently in setting the parameters from params/test_params.yaml, preventing those parameters from being read into the nodelet.

A fix can be found in pull request #141 .
