# Launch File Setup In order to properly evaluate competitors code, competitors will need to create a single ROS2 launch file that starts the competition, MoveIT if needed, and any competitor nodes. An example is shown below: ``` python from launch import LaunchDescription from launch_ros.actions import Node from launch.launch_description_sources import PythonLaunchDescriptionSource from launch.actions import IncludeLaunchDescription from launch_ros.substitutions import FindPackageShare from launch.substitutions import PathJoinSubstitution, LaunchConfiguration from launch.conditions import IfCondition from launch.actions import ( DeclareLaunchArgument, OpaqueFunction, ) from ariac_moveit_config.parameters import generate_parameters def launch_setup(context, *args, **kwargs): # Launch arguments trial_name = LaunchConfiguration("trial_name") # Move Group moveit = IncludeLaunchDescription( PythonLaunchDescriptionSource( [FindPackageShare("ariac_moveit_config"), "/launch", "/ariac_robots_moveit.launch.py"] ) ) # ARIAC_environment ariac_environment = IncludeLaunchDescription( PythonLaunchDescriptionSource( [FindPackageShare("ariac_gazebo"), "/launch", "/ariac.launch.py"] ), launch_arguments={ 'trial_name': trial_name, 'competitor_pkg': "nist_competitor", 'sensor_config': "sensors" }.items() ) # Test Competitor node test_competitor = Node( package="nist_competitor", executable="competitor", output="screen", parameters=generate_parameters(), ) nodes_to_start = [ test_competitor, ariac_environment, moveit ] return nodes_to_start def generate_launch_description(): declared_arguments = [] declared_arguments.append( DeclareLaunchArgument("trial_name", default_value="kitting", description="Name of ariac trial") ) return LaunchDescription(declared_arguments + [OpaqueFunction(function=launch_setup)]) ``` Two important things to note: - Ensure that the launch arguments for the ariac_environment node are correct for your package - Include the trial_name argument as a launch argument for the file and make sure that it is passed to the ariac_environment launch file as done above.
