Hi everyone,

how can I make use of the ROS API to parse roslaunch macros like $(find <package>)?

Thanks

It's not well documented as I believe it's not really intended to be reused outside of roslaunch, but you do this by essentially calling substitution_args.py::resolve_args(..) (here).

An example can be seen in xacro here.
