I have a node that plans a robot path, so I need to get coordinates of objects around. These coordinates are written in world_name.world file that is called from world_name.launch file. I am programming on python.
How can I get the name of presently running launch file from the node?
I don't believe there is API to do that, at least not "from the node". Nodes have no idea they were started by roslaunch.
There might be a hacky way using some roslaunch internal API, but I haven't checked.
But tbh, I don't completely understand why you'd want to do this.
Can you describe a bit clearer why you feel "get[ting] the name of presently running launch file from the node" is the solution to your problem?
