In response to issue #23.
Unfortunately,
get_slot_type
in rqt_py_common is now out-of-date, as it doesn't handle sequence types. This PR by-passes that function to allow rqt_publisher to publish array-like messages of type "sequence".This is done by:
list
)array.array
)eval
expression to allow for defining array literalsarray.array
does not have a copy constructor, allow for the passing of the direct evaluation if the type matches.Note: this has only been tested on my personal setup with
sensor_msgs/msg/JointState
, as I am unsure of a better testing suite.
