Setup

TELECARLA so far has been tested on

OS ROS Version
Ubuntu 18.04 Melodic
Ubuntu 20.04 Noetic
  1. Download CARLA
  2. Install ROS and catkin_tools
  3. Create a workspace with e.g. mkdir -p ~/catkin_ws_teleop/src && cd ~/catkin_ws_teleop/src
  4. Clone this repository into the workspace's src folder with git clone https://github.com/hofbi/telecarla.git
  5. Run the install script: ./install.sh
  6. Build the workspace: catkin build
  7. Source your workspace source ~/catkin_ws_teleop/devel/setup.<your_shell>

Run

See the main module for running the application: telecarla

Development

To install the additional tools required for the development, call

python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt
sudo apt install -y clang-format clang-tidy-10
sudo snap install shfmt

pre-commit git hooks

We use pre-commit to manage our git pre-commit hooks. pre-commit is automatically installed from requirements.txt. To set it up, call

git config --unset-all core.hooksPath  # may fail if you don't have any hooks set, but that's ok
pre-commit install --overwrite

Usage

With pre-commit, you don't use your linters/formatters directly anymore, but through pre-commit:

pre-commit run --file path/to/file1.cpp tools/second_file.py  # run on specific file(s)
pre-commit run --all-files  # run on all files tracked by git
pre-commit run --from-ref origin/master --to-ref HEAD  # run on all files changed on current branch, compared to master
pre-commit run <hook_id> --file <path_to_file>  # run specific hook on specific file
