footprint: [[0.4, 0.0], [-0.16, -0.22], [-0.18, 0.35]]
If I want to add this footprint parameter with rosrun like below: rosrun move_base move_base __name:=move_base_node _local_costmap/footprint:=[[0.4,0.0],[-0.16,-0.22],[-0.18,0.35]]
footprint becomes a string.
What is the right syntax to assign integer array in footprint parameter?
You use standard YAML syntax for rosrun paramter assignment.
That being said, I was able to reproduce the behavior you're seeing, and also got some interesting results. Perhaps this is a bug in rosrun? See below:
rosrun rospy_tutorials talker __name:=talker _test:=[0,1,2]
rosparam get /talker/test
[0, 1, 2]
rosrun roscpp_tutorials talker __name:=talker _test:=[0,1,2]
rosparam get /talker/test
'[0,1,2]'
It appears as if parameters are correctly YAML-parsed when using rosrun with a python node, but not with a cpp node. I tried all sorts of different variations on the YAML bit. Using a scalar number works, but all other more-complex YAML constructs (sequences, maps, etc.) all seem to parse as plain strings.
Does anyone have a correct formulation, or is this really a rosrun bug? I was able to reproduce the same behavior in both groovy and fuerte (current debian packages).
