Colcon args `-event-handlers status+` is no longer valid about ros_qtc_plugin HOT 5 CLOSED

I added --event-handlers status+ console_start_end+ to the colcon arguments to parse the progress for the progress bar (4a58f0b).

It is probably complaining because status+ is now added twice. You should be fine if you remove status+ from the manually provided event handlers.

Actually status+ is not supported by version of colcon I am using. It fails even when I call direct on the terminal passing --event-handlers status+

from ros_qtc_plugin.

Does this mean you get the same error, even without the arguments that you provide?

Can you provide more details about your system (Ubuntu, colcon versions, etc.)? What does colcon build -h list under --event-handlers?

I figured out the problem. status is not a default colcon event-handler, I need to install it.

pip install colcon-common-extensions

Now it is working, thank you!

from ros_qtc_plugin.

The status event handler is part of colcon-notification, which is a dependency of colcon-common-extensions.

Figuring out the available event handlers would be some effort. For now, I will assume that users have the default colcon packages (i.e. python3-colcon-common-extensions) installed.
