WSL: Ubuntu on Windows 10, unable to see published topics
I'm am trying to work with ROS2-eloquent on Ubuntu for Windows 10. I would like to create multiple nodes that can pass messages to one another while running independently in different terminals. I can recreate my problem using the talker/listener demo nodes.
I open a new Ubuntu terminal in Windows 10. Then I run tmux so that I can open multiple terminals in this instance of Ubuntu. In the first tmux pane, I run
source /opt/ros/eloquent/setup.bash
ros2 run demo_nodes_cpp talker
The node prints the expected output.
Now i open a new pane in tmux and run
source /opt/ros/eloquent/setup.bash
ros2 run demo_nodes_cpp listener
No output prints to the screen making me think that the listener is unable to subscribe to the topic that the talker is publishing. Now I kill the listener and run
ros2 topic list
which only prints
/parameter_events
/rosout
and nothing prints for
ros2 topic list
All of this works find when I run this on Ubuntu 18.04 running natively. I'm not familiar with how Ubuntu on Windows 10 operates under the hood and I would appreciate if anyone could help me solve this problem.
