What version of these two packages do you use: rqt_graph and qt_dotgraph? Also please provide more information since you are likely doing more than what you described. E.g. which packages did you try to visualize in the graph?

Well, I'm not sure what do you mean by version of rqt_graph. I use ROS Indigo. Problems with rqt_graph started when using VREP together with ROS. For the first time it crashed when I played the simulation on VREP. Officially VREP doesn't support ROS Indigo. Now each rqt_graph run fails.

With "version" I mean the version of the Debian package you have installed. Please run "dpkg -l | grep rqt-graph" and "dpkg -l | grep qt-dotgraph" and post the result. My second question was: which packages did you try to visualize in the graph?

1/ ros-indigo-rqt-graph 0.3.9-0trusty-20140905-0110-+0000 amd64 ros-indigo-qt-dotgraph 0.2.26-0trusty-20140819-0222-+0000 amd64

2/ i tried to visualize vrep tutorials packages "ros_bubble_rob", "vrep_joy" etc

actually now it works fine :P I have restarted my laptop

I get exactly the same error message. I have ros-indigo-rqt-graph 0.3.9-0trusty-20140905-0309-+0000 i386 and ros-indigo-qt-dotgraph 0.2.26-0trusty-20140819-0326-+0000 i386, i don't use VREP. This happens even if no ros nodes are running, just a roscore.

I have the same problem. Restarting Ubuntu helps at first, but error came back. Installing ros-indigo-qt-gui-app and ros-indigo-qt-gui-core did not help for me so far.

ros-indigo-rqt-graph 0.3.10-0trusty-20141230-0525-+0000 amd64 ros-indigo-qt-dotgraph 0.2.26-0trusty-20141230-0049-+0000 amd64

If anybody could come up with a minimal example to reproduce the issue it might be feasible to fix the problem.

Dirk Thomas ( 2015-02-19 12:57:03 -0600 )edit

Hello: I get the same problem. My versions are

ii ros-indigo-rqt-graph 0.3.10-0trusty-20141230-0525-+0000 amd64

ii ros-indigo-qt-dotgraph 0.2.26-0trusty-20141230-0049-+0000 amd64

and I am trying to use rqt_graph as on A Gentle Introduction to ROS (J.M. O'Kane) p24

I can vouch for Tomaszz, restarting Ubuntu after installing rqt_graph and plugins fixes this issue.

Under Ubuntu 14.04 it helped for me to install ros-indigo-qt-gui-app and ros-indigo-qt-gui-core

Working through the ROS tutorials with ROS Jade. Current system: Ubuntu 14.04 LTS / 64 bit. Default installation of ROS Jade. One patch: "https://github.com/ros-visualization/python_qt_binding/issues/24" "binding_helper fails when "future" package is installed"

Same problem as above, at "http://wiki.ros.org/ROS/Tutorials/UsingRqtconsoleRoslaunch", step 1.2.5, "roslaunching". File launches OK. Both "TurtleSim" windows open.

$ rostopic pub /turtlesim1/turtle1/cmd_vel geometry_msgs/Twist -r 1 -- '[2.0, 0.0, 0.0]' '[0.0, 0.0, -1.8]'

is issued per the tutorial instructions. The turtles start moving in circles as they should.

The next step is to run "rqt_graph". That crashes:

$ rqt_graph
PluginHandlerDirect._restore_settings() plugin "rqt_graph/RosGraph#0" raised an exception:
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
File "/opt/ros/jade/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/qt_dotgraph/dot_to_qt.py", line 83, in getNodeItemForSubgraph
bb = subgraph.attr['bb'].strip('"').split(',')
KeyError: 'bb'

So there's an easy way to reproduce the problem in ROS Jade. This is a standard tutorial.

After digging through the issues and sources, a fix, or at least a patch to make it not crash, was committed one day ago:

https://github.com/ros-visualization/...

Has that been through regression testing yet? Do I have to patch the installation manually, or is there some way to update the ROS Jade more cleanly? I don't want to build from source at this time. I just use a version where I can do all the tutorials without something blowing up.

The package qt_gui_core has been fixed (0.2.28). The new debs are in the building repo ( http://www.ros.org/debbuild/jade.html... ). Once all downstream packages have finished rebuilding they will appear in ros-shadow-fixed and after a short soak time be synced to the ros repo.

just edit by manually ,then remove the file dot_to_qt.pyc, your modified file dot_to_qt.py will be generate new dot_to_qt.pyc, it will works.
