Problem when setting Window Terminal for ROS on Window
Hi everyone, I got a problem when trying to set up window terminal for ROS on Window. I follow the instruction on http://wiki.ros.org/Installation/Windows , on the step 6.1. Here is my profiles.json.I'm using ROS Melodic on Window 10 version 1903 build 18362.418. When I tried roscore, this displayed
roscore : The term 'roscore' is not reconized as the name of a cmdlet function, script file, or operable program.

Sorry for the unclear documentation - I'll update the documentation to suggest methods to create a guid for this.

@drtritm, Can you change the following part to using
cmd.exe
? I am suspecting the activated environment fromsetup.bat
doesn't get passed to the PowerShell.Asked by Sean Yen on 2020-02-26 13:38:06 UTC
The original of guid in defaults section is "guid" : "{xxxx}", and then the instruction said: Customize the placeholder {xxxx} in the "guid" entry with a guid generator. Thus I choose PowerShell, even cmd, still not work. Did you mean changing the guild of the part you mentioned with the "guid": "{61c54bbd-c2c6-5271-96e7-009a87ff44bf}"

@drtritm, ah, it seems to me you are using default setting feature. However I think what you are looking for is just to define a new profile. Can you move the ROS related settings into an new entry under
lists
(and giving it a unique GUID)?Asked by Sean Yen on 2020-02-26 14:38:48 UTC
How can I give it a unique GUID? Did I just random?

It's worked, I randomly change a character, thanks so much.You made my day
