I have been trying to get started with roslibjs to create a web interface for my robot, but without great success. I installed first sudo-apt get install ros-melodic-rosbridge-server, went ahead and create an example folder called gui_bridge under the src folder as usual.

I created a very simple launch file as below:

websocket.launch

<launch>
  <include file="$(find rosbridge_server)/launch/rosbridge_websocket.launch"/>
</launch>

OPened two terminals, one for roscore and the other for launching roslaunch gui_bridge websocket.launch but got the error below saying:

ImportError: No module named bson

below the terminal output:

log file: /home/emanuele/.ros/log/8bc5ca86-d285-11ea-ad8e-a86daa9b43e9/rosbridge_websocket-1*.log

After a bit of research I came across this source which advised to sudo apt-get install ros-melodic-rosbridge-suite. I did exactly that but got the same exact error.

I even try to uninstall: sudo apt remove ros-melodic-rosbridge-server and reinstall it but that didn't change the output unfortunately.

Please point to the right direction for solving this issue.

I run into a similar issue, and I fixed it by first uninstalling and then installing python-bson by running sudo apt-get remove python-bson followed by 'sudo apt-get install python-bson`. Which removed rosbridge_server. I then reinstalled rosbridge and now it's working just fine.
