trying to run demo_gazebo.launch under a namespace - Not working

[ron007d]

Description

I am trying to run demo_gazebo.launch under a namespace to have multiple simulation under the same ros master.

• Running demo.launch under a namespace is working without error.
• Gazebo is getting stuck at waiting for /clock and controller_manager

Environment

• ROS Distro: Neotic
• OS Version: Ubuntu 20.04
• Github : https://github.com/ron007d/ros_pick_and_place_simulation

Steps to reproduce

• go to the repo and do as per Readme.md
• then in the roslaunch add this __ns:=/sim1

roslaunch simulation_moveit_config demo_gazebo.launch __ns:=/sim1`

Current behaviour

-gazebo running but no model loaded also clock is stopped in the gazebo

• RVIZ not showing the model

Console output

You can start planning now!

Running multiple simulations on the same ROS master is not possible: the simulation publishes the global and unique /clock topic. If you want to run multiple simulations in parallel, use different ROS environments.
