Insight can't import .idl file with dependencies

[NicoBrug]

Hi,

I'm trying to import an idl file into the insight data model. I've tried an .idl that contains other includes and it doesn't work, and puts logs that look strange to me.

Here's what it says:

//Copy Process ...
[DEBUG] [datamodel_model.py:278] File copied successfully. [DEBUG] [datamodel_model.py:278] File copied successfully. Clock.idl
[DEBUG] [datamodel_model.py:306] Found _idlpy : PATH.
[INFO] [datamodel_model.py:323] Execute: CMD
[DEBUG] ... /datamodel/idl/Clock.idl:5 : error : Unable to open include file “builtin_interfaces/msg/Time.idl”\N #include “builtin_interfaces/msg/Time.idl”\N1 error in preprocessor.\N “.
2024-09-11 19:06:27,636 [DEBUG] [datamodel_model.py:333] The process ended successfully.
[DEBUG] [datamodel_model.py:333] Process terminated successfully. [DEBUG] [datamodel_model.py:287] Process Time.idl ... [DEBUG] [datamodel_model.py:306] Found _idlpy : PATH
...
[datamodel_model.py:333] Process terminated successfully.

And after that, Insight do not import the files.

Is this a bug? Or maybe my way of importing for idl is not the right one?

Working environment:

• Windows 11
• CI build: cyclonedds-insight-0.0.0-windows-x64

Hi @NicoBrug can you provide the IDL files so that i can reproduce it?

The normal procedure would be:

1. select all idl files
2. drag and drop them all together into insight

Hi,

here are the files (It's two ROS file from rosgraph_msgs and builtin_interfaces.) :

Time.idl :

module builtin_interfaces { module msg { struct Time { int32 sec; uint32 nanosec; }; }; };

Clock.idl

#include "builtin_interfaces/msg/Time.idl" module rosgraph_msgs { module msg { struct Clock { builtin_interfaces::msg::Time clock; }; }; };

@NicoBrug currently it only works when all the dependencies are in the same folder and drag-and-dropped from there all together into CycloneDDS Insight.

May i will look into a solutions this week, (to drag-and-drop a folder into Insight) :)
