Hi,

I'm creating something like an IDE for ROS. Is it possible to get a list of all available nodes. Something like 'rosnode list' but for the not yet started nodes. I think 'rosrun TAB TAB ' displays them, but this needs manual input of the TAB-key. Maybe there is a way to use the autocompletion-feature in a shellscript.

Thanks for the help!

You could probably use the completion to make a rospack list-nodes or similar. Maybe the output of rospack list (only packages) can help you.

Well I guess rospack list-names will do it at the moment. Thank you very much.

Groovy bash completion uses catkin_find --without-underlays --libexec <pkg> to determine the dir for executables of package PKG.

You'll find the tab-completion code in /opt/ros/diamondback/ros/tools/rosbash/rosbash

Look for function _roscomplete_exe

Thanks, I tried it a while, but couldn't figure out how this works. I guess this would be a nice solution.

to see the list of the available nodes in a package, do : $ rosrun [package_name] and hit "tab key" twice without hitting return key. ex: rosrun turtlesim "tab key" twice

Did you even read the question? Moreover, this is about 3 years old and has long been answered.

this is useful for folks working at the command line, but note the question explicitly asked for a way to do it programmatically, without having to enter 'tab'.
