rosbag record -a - not collecting bag file

asked 2018-08-16 05:04:26 -0500

Hi Guys,

I am trying to capture the bag files for all the ROS topics using rosbag record -a.

And when I terminate the record using Ctrl+C, the bag file captured is showing in .bag.active status and it looks like no data is being captured as the size of the file is 4.1 kB.

If I give topics individually it runs without any issue capturing the bag file.

Can anybody please help me to fix this issue?

Troubleshooting steps taken: Tried reindexing with rosbag reindex but no luck. Moreover size of the file is 4.1 kB.

Thank you. KK

We might need a little more information about how you are running rosbag. From this page, rosbag record -a might miss some messages if you start the topics after starting rosbag. Are you starting rosbag before or after your other topics?

@BryceWilley Thanks for the response. I am starting the rosbag after I start the topics. If I collect the rosbag separately for each topic it works fine without any issues. And also it seems like file is corrupted as the file size is only 4.1 kB.

I have similar problems, too. The bag i create is always only 4.1kB and cannot be used to run VINS. Need help. Thanks a lot.

Disabling statistics fixed the issue.

Can you please elaborate how can I exactly disable the statistics?

It is disabled by default, I think, so if you don't know how to disable it, you are probably already there.
