The ros1_msgs/MyMsg is my custom message type, The package directory path is ~/ros1_install/src/ros1_msgs. So I open a terminal, then source the relevant package path to environment by this order:

ubuntu@cscsh:~$ ros2 topic echo /hello_ros2 ros1_msgs/MyMsg

ros2: command not found

ubuntu@cscsh:~$ source /opt/ros/melodic/setup.bash 

ubuntu@cscsh:~$ source ~/ros1_install/devel/local_setup.bash(the install path of my custom message type package)

ubuntu@cscsh:~$ source /opt/ros/dashing/setup.bash 

ubuntu@cscsh:~$ source ~/ros2_ws/install/local_setup.bash(the source code path of my ros2) 

ROS_DISTRO was set to 'melodic' before. Please make sure that the environment does not mix paths from different     distributions.

Then i execute the command:

dbt@cscsh-dubingtao:~$ ros2 topic echo /hello_ros2 ros1_msgs/MyMsg

Traceback (most recent call last):

AttributeError: type object 'type' has no attribute '_TYPE_SUPPORT' This might be a ROS 1 message type but it should be a ROS 2 message type. Make sure to source your ROS 2 workspace after your ROS 1 workspace.

If i use the builtin message type, as i execute this command:

ros2 topic echo /hello_ros2 std_msgs/String

It work normally. so i check the PATH environment:

ubuntu@cscsh:~$ env | grep PYTHONPATH

/home/dbt/ros2_ws/install/ament_cppcheck/lib/python3.6/site-packages:/home/dbt/ros2_ws/install/ament_clang_tidy/lib/python3.6/site-packages:/home/dbt/ros2_ws/install/ament_clang_format/lib/python3.6/site-packages:/opt/ros/dashing/lib/python3.6/site-packages:/home/dbt/ros1_install/devel/lib/python2.7/dist-packages:/opt/ros/melodic/lib/python2.7/dist-packages

The output is not just like the above, I only showed a part, you can see that ros2 uses python3.6, ros1 uses 2.7+, I think the problem maybe related to the Python version inconsistency?

Does anyone know the reason of the error message? Appreciate.

I'm not sure why you're doing anything with ROS1, just source your dashing workspace and use it that way.

If you're trying to publish a ROS1 topic to ROS2, that's not going to work, nor is it going to work to try to publish a ROS1 compiled message from ROS2, you need to compile the messages in ROS2 to create the IDL files for DDS.

If you want to mix messages between ROS1 and 2 you need to use the ros1_bridge
