Description

Lists controllers from the controller manager with two independent filters.

This behavior queries the controller manager and returns a semicolon-separated list of controller names. Two filters can be combined:

state (by controller state):

  • 'all': all controllers regardless of state
  • 'active' (default): only active controllers
  • 'inactive': only inactive controllers

type (by interface type):

  • 'all' (default): all controllers matching the state filter
  • 'command': only controllers that claim command interfaces (e.g. joint_trajectory_controller)
  • 'state': only controllers with no command interfaces (e.g. joint_state_broadcaster)

This is useful for composing with SwitchController to save/restore controller states.

Public Constructors

ListControllers()

moveit_pro::behaviors::ListControllers::ListControllers (const std::string & name, const BT::NodeConfiguration & config, const std::shared_ptr< BehaviorContext > & shared_resources)

Constructor for ListControllers behavior.

Parameters
name

Name of the behavior node.

config

BehaviorTree node configuration.

shared_resources

Shared resources for the behavior (ROS node, planning scene, etc.).

Declaration at line 51 of file list_controllers.hpp, definition at line 34 of file list_controllers.cpp.

ListControllers()

moveit_pro::behaviors::ListControllers::ListControllers (const std::string & name, const BT::NodeConfiguration & config, const std::shared_ptr< BehaviorContext > & shared_resources, std::unique_ptr< ClientInterfaceBase< controller_manager_msgs::srv::ListControllers > > client_interface)

Declaration at line 55 of file list_controllers.hpp, definition at line 40 of file list_controllers.cpp.

Private Member Functions

createRequest()

tl::expected< controller_manager_msgs::srv::ListControllers::Request, std::string > moveit_pro::behaviors::ListControllers::createRequest ()
virtual

User-provided function to create the service request.

Returns

Returns a service request message. If not successful, returns an error message. Note that the criteria for success or failure is defined by the user's implementation of this function.

Declaration at line 76 of file list_controllers.hpp, definition at line 83 of file list_controllers.cpp.

getFuture()

std::shared_future< tl::expected< bool, std::string > > & moveit_pro::behaviors::ListControllers::getFuture ()
inline virtual

Gets the shared future which is used to monitor the progress of the async process.

Classes derived from AsyncBehaviorBase must implement getFuture() so that it returns a shared_future class member.

This exists to prevent destruction of the derived class while the async process is still in-progress. If the derived class is destroyed, the definitions of the functions used within doWork() will be destroyed too, which will result in the virtual functions in the base class being called instead and cause a fault.

This function will force derived classes to add an instance of this type and return a reference to it. The base class can then use this virtual function to access the shared future in functions like onStart.

By adding this virtual function we're properly demonstrating how this future depends on things from the derived class and the natural flow of object lifetimes will do the hard work for us. The std::shared_future destructor will get the value of the future before the derived class is destructed assuming it's the last reference to the shared state. Doing it this way means neither the base nor derived class should need to implement a destructor which is a nice property to have.

Returns

Returns the shared_future, which should be owned by the child class.

Definition at line 83 of file list_controllers.hpp.

getServiceName()

tl::expected< std::string, std::string > moveit_pro::behaviors::ListControllers::getServiceName ()
virtual

User-provided function to get the name of the service when initializing the service client.

Returns

Returns the name of the service. If not successful, returns an error message. Note that the criteria for success or failure is defined by the user's implementation of this function.

Declaration at line 73 of file list_controllers.hpp, definition at line 67 of file list_controllers.cpp.

processResponse()

tl::expected< bool, std::string > moveit_pro::behaviors::ListControllers::processResponse (const controller_manager_msgs::srv::ListControllers::Response & response)

Optional user-provided function to process the service response after the service has finished.

If no user-defined implementation is provided, then no additional processing will be performed on succeeding service responses and this function will always return void.

Parameters
response

Service response message to process.

Returns

Returns true or false depending on the user's implementation if the service response could be processed successfully. If the service response could not be processed, returns an error message. Note that the criteria for success or failure is defined by the user's implementation of this function.

Declaration at line 80 of file list_controllers.hpp, definition at line 89 of file list_controllers.cpp.

Private Member Attributes

response_future_

std::shared_future<tl::expected<bool, std::string> > moveit_pro::behaviors::ListControllers::response_future_

Holds the result of calling the service asynchronously.

Definition at line 89 of file list_controllers.hpp.
