I m trying the rosserial tutorials from the official site in ros melodic. While running the Serial_node.py I m getting this error :

[ERROR] [1598645013.553322]: Creation of publisher failed: unknown error handler name 'rosmsg'.

I m not even able to run basic serial examples. Please help.

The Serial_node.log:

had the exact same thing, running apt-get update and then apt-get upgrade seems to have solved it, have you tried it?

swanepoeljan gravatar image swanepoeljan  ( 2020-08-29 08:49:38 -0600 )edit

seems like there is no permissions to access to '/dev/ttyUSB0'

Maybe you should enable permissions (https://askubuntu.com/questions/13323...)

Also i found an unresolved question in a situation like yours here (https://answers.ros.org/question/3601...) maybe you could ask if he solved the problem

Hey thanks for answering. But I tried updating and upgrading. It did not solve my problem. I already have permission access to the USB0. My only problem is this error

Saurabh Rahatekar gravatar image Saurabh Rahatekar  ( 2020-08-31 01:45:25 -0600 )edit

its strange then the "permission denied" issue

unknown error handler name 'rosmsg'

This was a bug in genpy; it is fixed in 0.6.13.

Try upgrading:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade


Error opening serial: [Errno 13] could not open port /dev/ttyUSB0: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/dev/ttyUSB0'

Try adding yourself to the dialout group:

sudo adduser `whoami` dialout

and reboot (or reload permissions).

Thanks so much!

It seems that the same problem occurs in 0.6.15, downgrading genpy built from source to 0.6.14 helps.

@Maxim Rovbo: have you reported this?

A comment on ROS Answers has very limited visibility.

I just ran into the problem and even just using the latest genpy source (git clone into my workspace) worked. It was commit acf8eb7e8cd464af6650619961d8ff3c4f4a6ac8 which should be 0.6.15 as far as I understand .. so maybe the root cause is something else? Anyway Im happy with the fix for now.

Reporting issues is typically more to help others, not so much for yourself.

And work-arounds are not scalable.

Might also have to blow out the build and devel folders and rebuild the workspace.

If you don't want to upgrade all packages simple use

$ sudo apt-get install ros-<distro>-genpy

This will install the latest version
