Apollo: tool not found: rosbag play -l ./docs/demo_guide/demo_1.5.np.bag

[changchengx]

Follow the guide: https://github.com/ApolloAuto/ApolloAuto.github.io, there's no "rosbag" command anymore when entering into the docker environment? Any change or previous build to generate rosbag tool?

Are you experiencing "rosbag command not found" ? I think maybe you can try "$source /apollo/bazel-apollo/external/ros/setup.bash" to set rosbag and then re-run the command again.

@JerryOpenix Make sure you are running rosbag when you are inside docker (dev or release)

I had the same issue. I could run rosbas by running source scripts/bootstrap.sh (instead of/on top of bash scripts/bootstrap.sh, which is mentioned in the official docs)

If you got this rosbag command not found error when you're inside docker env, you're probably using the user 'root' for running Apollo.

For use root , you may need to do some additional work:
source /apollo/scripts/apollo_base.sh (this script include the ros environment setup procedure source /home/tmp/ros/setup.bash(for dev docker), or you can only source the ros env setup script as well).

Usually, this could be avoid by running Apollo as a normal user, since it will be configured into .bashrc automatically.

Thanks @zhxt for the info, I did indeed use the root user (because the startup script threw an error for my regular user, as the user name contains a dot). Good to know I need to run these additional steps. Could you please add it to the docs so others can find it as well?

@yosuah From the coming 3.0 release which will release in early July(4th, July), it will be forbidden to use user 'root' to run Apollo, there will be a error prompt if you're trying to user 'root'. So temporarily I put this in the wiki of my fork.
