How do I import newly added sensors into a Carla Package

[hashim19]

Hey Guys, I have added a new lidar sensor in carla. This sensor is working in the source carla i.e. when I do make launch and run the python3 manual_control.py (I can see its data in rviz). Then, I went on to package this sensor using the command make package, which creates a new directory Dist and a packaged carla inside it. My Dist folder looks like this,

I went inside CARLA_Shipping_e0e00321-dirty/LinuxNoEditor/ directrory, and in one terminal I ran the carla server using ./CarlaUE4.sh and in anoher terminal I ran a python client and spawned my new lidar in it. But I am getting the segmentation fault error. Look at video below, sensor testing in packaged carla

I thought there maybe an issue with my new lidar sensor implementation (though it is working with source build carla). I went on to check the safe distance sensor as described here create new sensor tutorial. I packaged it using make package and ran the server and the python client but I am getting the same segmentation fault error.

Can anyone help me with this?

Note: Before this I have also added a new vehicle and its working perfectly fine in the packaged version of Carla. so, I am not sure whats going wrong here.

CARLA version: 0.9.13 Platform/OS: Ubuntu 18 Problem you have experienced: new sensor added not working in a packaged carla What you expected to happen: the newly added sensor should be working in the packaged carla Steps to reproduce: Do make package in source carla and try to test the newly added sensor in the packaged carla. Other information (documentation you consulted, workarounds you tried):

You are using the official python package, but your new sensor API doesn't exist in it. So you will get a segmentation error when you try to use it. You should use the egg or whl file build by yourself, not the official package.
