Noetic release

[PaulVerhoeckx]

Can the noetic release be expected anytime soon?

Thanks in advance.

Absolutely! Python 3 compatibility should already be there since PR #102. As soon as I have my noetic installation set up and ready, I will do some final testing and adjustments where required and then do the release. I plan to do this during the next two weeks.

@pschillinger have you made any progress since your last post? I'm using the develop branch (to incorporate the PR you mentioned) on Noetic but am getting errors upon loading in a behavior that was loading in Melodic.

I can't paste the full traceback since the terminal within the FlexBE app doesn't allow highlight/copying, but here's the end:

The develop branch works for me on noetic although I cannot test it as much as I want at the moment (that's why not released yet). More specifically, I tried to reproduce the issue you describe, but couldn't get such an error.

To narrow it down a bit more:

• Can you confirm that you also use the develop branch for flexbe_app?
• Are the two state definitions you try to import, initModeState and WallFollowActionState, listed when you click on the Add State button?
• Are these states compatible to noetic and can you, e.g., import and instantiate them manually in a python shell?
• Which state parser are you using, Python or Regex? (see Configuration tab) What happens if you chose the other and click Force Discover?
