IDE for ROS 2.0

[Marcel Pelzer]

Hi everyone,

does anyone know a IDE for ROS2 to debug your code? In ROS 1.0 there was the command 

"catkin_create eclipse project"

is der a similiar one for the ament system available?.

Thank you for any kind of help

Marcel

Hi,

I did put together some instructions in [1] for QtCreator & ROS1,
they are generic enough to possibly work for ROS2...

Cheers,
JL

The instructions from Jose are based on `catkin_make` which builds all packages in a workspace within a single CMake context. But ROS 2 only supports to build each package separately (more like `catkin_make_isolated` / `catkin build`). Therefore you can't generate a single QtCreator / Eclipse project. Instead you have to generate separate project files for each package and then open them all in the IDE. And while all packages in ROS 1 are CMake-based that is not the case for ROS 2. Some packages are pure Python packages so you can't use `cmake -G ...` to generate QtCreator / Eclipse projects for those.

Cheers,

I'd recommend using clion on Linux or MSVC on Windows. Both have student and open source licenses.

To run clion, first open a command line window. Source the workspace. Then, run clion with the package CMakeList.txt directory path as an argument.

MSVC requires ament build to have generated the .sln files. Then, source the workspace in command line. Run devenv. Finally, open the .sln in Visual studio.

A similar discussion has been going on for a while on the catkin tools repository:
