Hey all,

I was working on a ROS2[foxy]/roslibjs/ros3djs tool, and was having an issue where the meshes wouldn't show, despite loading them correctly. I checked the /tf and /tf_static topics, and while they were publishing correctly, they were not subscribed to anything. Presumably, this is because there was no tf2_web_republisher running. Has anyone had any success in getting TFs to work with roslibjs/ros3djs and ros2?  There doesn't seem to be a public version of a ros2-based tf2_web_republisher...

Thanks in advance for all the help!

Just as an update, I ended up porting tf2_web_republisher to ROS2 and python3. You can see that here. However, it still seems that I am having issues with both of the two web bridges (ros2-web-bridge and rosbridge_server[ros2 branch]). Namely, the ros2-web-bridge doesn't seem to see the actions, and the rosbridge_server seems to try to use ROS1-like syntax for finding the action types. Does anyone know a way around this, or have any suggestions?

Hi Andrew,

I suggest to create a github issue in relevant repos. The active maintainers would help you in github.

Thanks,
Jihoon
