Error when downloading mqtt bridge for ROS2.

[rehman257800]

When im trying to build workspace using this command "colcon build --packages-up-to mqtt_client --cmake-args -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release" for ROS2.

Im getting this error "colcon build --packages-up-to mqtt_client --cmake-args -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release Starting >>> mqtt_client_interfaces --- stderr: mqtt_client_interfaces

I even tried to use this "sudo apt install ros-galactic-mqtt-client" but got this error

" [sudo] password for aexlab: Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done E: Unable to locate package ros-galactic-mqtt-client". i dont know why is this happening. I was able to clone the repositary but can not build it.

Looks like you are trying to build for ROS 2 Foxy (although you are then trying to install it for ROS 2 Galactic?!). Either way, please have a look here: https://github.com/ika-rwth-aachen/mqtt_client/issues/27#issuecomment-1620651162

I was able to download the mqtt client on ros humble. but now when i am trying to connect with mqtt broker im getting this error

"phr7rng@RNG-C-001N7:~/ros_ws$ roslaunch mqtt_client standalone.launch

Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/roslaunch", line 34, in import roslaunch File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/roslaunch/init.py", line 62, in from .scriptapi import ROSLaunch File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/roslaunch/scriptapi.py", line 42, in import roslaunch.parent File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/roslaunch/parent.py", line 54, in import roslaunch.server File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/roslaunch/server.py", line 80, in from rosgraph_msgs.msg import Log ImportError: cannot import name 'Log' from 'rosgraph_msgs.msg' (/opt/ros/humble/local/lib/python3.10/dist-packages/rosgraph_msgs/msg/init.py)"

i also tried this command "phr7rng@RNG-C-001N7:~/ros_ws$ ros2 launch mqtt_client standalone.launch.ros2.xml

ros2: command not found"

Something is not right with your ROS installation.

You said you installed it for ROS 2 Humble. But then you proceed to use "roslaunch", which is ROS 1. "ros2 launch" on the other hand, which is ROS 2, isn't installed at all.

Please consider wiping everything ROS-related and properly reinstalling ROS 2 Humble.

Please also note that alternatively you could also launch the mqtt_client in a Docker container, see README.
