roslaunch_editor

Web-based ROS launch-files editor, created for making configuration of your robot more user-friendly for novices.

Quick launch

roslaunch roslaunch_editor example.launch

Then, open http://localhost:8085/roslaunch_editor/ and edit the test launch file.

Modes

roslaunch_editor works in two modes: standalone mode (where running editor node is required), and Clover mode (where clover's shell node, roswww_static and rosbridge_suite are utilized). The editor will read and write launch-files and restart the nodes (if configured) using one of these nodes.

The mode is determined automatically, based on advertised ROS-services.

Parameters

• items (string or list) – launch files to edit, format: package_name/launch_file_name.launch.
• hide_uncommented (boolean, default: false) – don't show arguments without comments.
• apply_command (string, default: '') – shell command to execute after writing launch-files (e. g. to restart the systemd service).
• backup (boolean, default: false) – backup overwritten launch-files (backup is written to file_name.launch.bak).

Some parameters (items, hide_uncommented) can be overwritten over GET-parameters, e. g. ?items=package/foo.launch,package/bar.launch&hide_uncommented=1.
