I am having trouble publishing messages with sequences in them, such as example_interfaces/UInt8MultiArray. By default, the expression is populated with array('B'). When I try to populate with data, such as array('B', [1]) I get errors in the terminal.

[ERROR] [1611709217.176271581] [get_message_class]: Malformed message_type: sequence<double> Python eval failed for expression "array('d',[1])" with an exception "name 'array' is not defined" Publisher._evaluate_expression(): failed to evaluate expression: "array('d',[1])" as Python type "None" Traceback (most recent call last): File "/opt/ros/foxy/lib/python3.8/site-packages/rqt_publisher/publisher.py", line 157, in change_publisher new_text = handler(self._publishers[publisher_id], topic_name, new_value) File "/opt/ros/foxy/lib/python3.8/site-packages/rqt_publisher/publisher.py", line 258, in _change_publisher_expression expression, error_prefix, slot_type.__name__) AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute '__name__'

Can someone provide an example of proper usage for the expression field?

Thanks!

Basically it similar to this post and answer. You have to populate data field of the message (of the correct type).
