Revision history [back]

A friendly GitHub user reminded me, that in bash you use quotation marks to group space-separated strings as a single argument, so everything ROS receives is roslaunch pkg default.launch arg1:=.

To keep the quotes, you can use single quotes around the double qoutes:

roslaunch pkg default.launch arg1:='""'
