Enable tags not working for ros2

[SimoneMic]

Hello,
I have tried the command for launching the YRI with ros2 enabled, as listed in this issue #641

However the format is not recognised:

yarprobotinterface --config ergocub.xml --enable_tags (enable_ros2) 
-bash: syntax error near unexpected token `('

I have also tried removing the brackets, the robot starts, but Ros is not enabled.
Also by removing the --config part. Same result.

Can you try:

yarprobotinterface --config ergocub.xml --enable_tags "(enable_ros2)"

Not sure why I did not experienced this problem, perhaps I tested on Windows.

Any feedback @SimoneMic?

[SimoneMic]

I haven't used the robot today, when I'll have my slot I will test it

[pattacini]

Thanks!

yarprobotinterface --config ergocub.xml --disable_tags \(disable_right_arm\) 

works

[pattacini]

Uhm, the format with the escape char \ doesn't seem very clear in the first place, unless it's reported in the documentation. If not, it should be pointed out in YARP, somehow cc @randaz81.

Out of curiosity, does it mean that "(disable_right_arm)" doesn't work?

[SimoneMic]

With the "()" it works, at least with enable_ros2.
The documentation should be changed, I think

[randaz81]

I never heard about the use of '', I think it works by chance (undocumented and to be avoided.)
Instead if i remeber correctly you should always use " to encapsulate a ( ) block, independently if it contains multiple elements or just one, like in your case.

[pattacini]

Yeah, indeed, the standard ought to be "(...)".
I remember now that I used it in the past for the find-superquadric module:

I think we can close it.
Feel free to open it up again if you deem it necessary.

The documentation should be changed, I think

Which documentation?

#641 which has already been updated
