RTI Python Connector Error: Failed to create Output:

Hi @all,

I am actually implementing a little example using DDS Connector for Python.
I have created two DataWriters in the XML file which looks like the follows:

<!-- Domain Library -->
<domain_library name="MyDomainLibrary">
  <domain name="MyDomain" domain_id="0">
      <register_type name="ProximityDataType" type_ref="ProximityData"/>
      <register_type name="DeviceStatusType" type_ref="DeviceStatus"/>
      <topic name="Proximity Data" register_type_ref="ProximityDataType"/>
      <topic name="Device Status" register_type_ref="DeviceStatusType"/>
  </domain>
</domain_library>
<!-- Domain Participant Library-->
<domain_participant_library name="MyParticipantLibrary">
  <domain_participant name="MyPubParticipant" domain_ref="MyDomainLibrary::MyDomain">
      <publisher name="MyPublisher">
          <data_writer name="DeviceStatusDataWriter" topic_ref="Device Status" />
          <data_writer name="ProximityDataWriter" topic_ref="Proximity Data" />
      </publisher>
  </domain_participant>

However if I try to get the output like the follows in my application:

proximity_data = connector.get_output("MyPublisher::ProximityDataWriter")
device_status = connector.get_output("MyPublisher::DeviceStatusDataWriter")

I get the following error:

    raise Error("Failed to create " + entity_name + ": "
rticonnextdds_connector.rticonnextdds_connector.Error: Failed to create Output:

Has somebody any idea what the problem here is?
Thanks in advance.

Regards

Marc

Hi, please can you provide the full output of the console? And how you are creating the connector object too.

Thanks,
Sam

Hi Sam,

Full output of console:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:/...../.../proximity_sensor.py", line 27, in <module>
    device_status = connector.get_output("MyPublisher::DeviceStatusDataWriter")
  File "C:\....\rticonnextdds_connector\rticonnextdds_connector.py", line 1295, in get_output
    return Output(self, output_name)
  File "C:\.....\...\rticonnextdds_connector.py", line 1107, in __init__
    _check_entity_creation(self.native, "Output")
  File "C:\........\....\rticonnextdds_connector.py", line 92, in _check_entity_creation
    raise Error("Failed to create " + entity_name + ": "
rticonnextdds_connector.rticonnextdds_connector.Error: Failed to create Output:

The connector object is created like follows:

with rti.open_connector(
        config_name="MyParticipantLibrary::MyPubParticipant",
url="ViltSystemDesign.xml") as connector:

Regards,

Marc

What version of Connector are you using?

I tried to reproduce your issue, here is the XML I am using (it is named ShapeExample.xml):


<dds xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
     xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="https://community.rti.com/schema/current/rti_dds_qos_profiles.xsd">

    <types>
        <struct name="ProximityData" extensibility="extensible">
            <member name="x" type="long"/>
            <member name="y" type="long"/>
        </struct>
        <struct name="DeviceStatus" extensibility="extensible">
            <member name="x" type="long"/>
            <member name="y" type="long"/>
        </struct>
    </types>
    <domain_library name="MyDomainLibrary">
        <domain name="MyDomain" domain_id="0">
            <register_type name="ProximityDataType" type_ref="ProximityData"/>
            <register_type name="DeviceStatusType" type_ref="DeviceStatus"/>
            <topic name="Proximity Data" register_type_ref="ProximityDataType"/>
            <topic name="Device Status" register_type_ref="DeviceStatusType"/>
        </domain>
  </domain_library>
  <domain_participant_library name="MyParticipantLibrary">
        <domain_participant name="MyPubParticipant" domain_ref="MyDomainLibrary::MyDomain">
            <publisher name="MyPublisher">
                <data_writer name="DeviceStatusDataWriter" topic_ref="Device Status" />
                <data_writer name="ProximityDataWriter" topic_ref="Proximity Data" />
            </publisher>
        </domain_participant>
        <domain_participant name="MySubParticipant" domain_ref="MyDomainLibrary::MyDomain">
            <subscriber name="MySubscriber">
                <data_reader name="DeviceStatusDataReader" topic_ref="Device Status" />
                <data_reader name="ProximityDataReader" topic_ref="Proximity Data" />
            </subscriber>
        </domain_participant>
    </domain_participant_library>
</dds>

 Then in my reader.py I do:

with rti.open_connector(
        config_name="MyParticipantLibrary::MySubParticipant",
        url=file_path + "/../ShapeExample.xml") as connector:

    input = connector.get_input("MySubscriber::ProximityDataReader")

and in writer.py:

with rti.open_connector(
        config_name="MyParticipantLibrary::MyPubParticipant",
        url=file_path + "/../ShapeExample.xml") as connector:

    output = connector.get_output("MyPublisher::ProximityDataWriter")

And there are no errors creating the entities or receiveing data. Can you see any difference between what I am doing and what you are doing?

Hi,

Thanks for your help!
after implementing your example I noticed that there is a problem wiith the QoS Settings because without QoS settings it was running.
After deleting the publication name out of the QoS settings the error disappeared.

<publication_name>
    <name>ProximityDataWriter</name>
</publication_name>

Regards,

Marc
