In this article, I will introduce how to use direnv easily and how to install it.
If you use multiple workspaces properly in ROS, you need to do source devel / setup.bash for each workspace, which is awkward, so I was investigating whether it could be automated.
Ubuntu 16.04 You can probably do it in other versions as well.
There is something called direnv, and if you use this, it seems that setup.bash will be automatically loaded just by moving to each workspace root directory.
I found a very helpful article (Let's use direnv), so basically it seems that you can build an environment if you set it according to this article. ..
go command not found
When I tried to install by referring to Use direnv, the error "go command not found" occurred.
Certainly, I don't remember introducing Go, so I think I need to add a new one.
Here, I will introduce the method to install the latest version of go used in direnv with ʻapt install`.
go with regular ʻapt-repository`Go, which is a hot topic now, can be easily installed with ʻapt install`. ** But you have to be careful about the version in apt-repository **.
When go is installed as shown below without thinking about anything in my environment. .. ..
$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt install golang-go
It was installed go 1.6. The latest version as of December 2019 is go 1.13, so a fairly old version has been installed.
direnv requires at least a version of go 1.8 or later, so you cannot use direnv with this.
to install the latest version of golang-go`Therefore, in order to get the latest version, update ʻapt-repository` referring to here and install it again.
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:longsleep/golang-backports
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install golang-go
Just in case, check the version
$ go version
go version go1.13.4 linux/amd64
And I was able to install the latest version safely.
I will also describe how to install direnv.
$ git clone https://github.com/direnv/direnv
$ cd direnv
$ sudo make install
Added the following to ~ / .bashrc
~/.bashrc
export EDITOR=vim #You can specify your favorite editor. This time I use vim.
eval "$(direnv hook bash)"
For example, if there are catkin_ws and hoge_ws under / home / user /, execute the following in each directory.
//Move to workspace
$ cd ~/{ws_roos}
// .Creating an envrc/Edit
$ direnv edit .
Edit the created .envrc as follows.
~/{ws_root}/.envrc
source deve/setup.bash
##If you want output, add the following
# echo Auto sourcing source deve/setup.bash
Now just move to the workspace and it will automatically load setup.bash.
Even if you search for "ROS multiple workspace setup.bash automatic", you can't easily find the answer you want ...
