how to run kinect and ASUS cameras simultaneously - kinect

I can run just one camera alone
I am following this enter link description here
I need to run both cameras simultaneously
when running the second camera the output:

I am run a Kinect
roslaunch freenect_launch freenect.launch
I am run a ASUS and Kinect
roslaunch openni_launch openni.launch
once running the second camera in the terminal of ASUS as second camera, output:
[ERROR] [1550795336.052843598]: Failed to find nodelet with name '/camera/disparity_registered_hw' to unload
also, the output for Kinect became:
[FATAL] [1550795336.061536430]: Failed to unload nodelet '/camera/disparity_registered_hw` from manager `camera_nodelet_manager'
please help me
thank you in advance

I'd suggest trying to launch each node in their own namespace. Looking at the launch files, you should be able to run:
roslaunch freenect_launch freenect.launch camera:=cam_kinect
and
roslaunch openni_launch openni.launch camera:=cam_asus
This should avoid conflict with node names and topic names.

Anyone know about this error, please help.
Regards
I was experiencing a similar problem and after some investigation I realize that the problem was that I have ignored a couple of directories required to create the dojo build.
In my particular case the issue was related to ignoring (deleted) the util/build directory of the sdk.
You can debug this by adding:
console.log(url);
At dojo/_base/configRhino.js on the isLocal function.
This function determines if a file is local or a URL and if the file does not exists then it assumes that is a URL and then the exception occur.
That extra line is going to print all the files that is trying to use and when it breaks the last file path that printed is the faulty one.
All of this of course is just a guess based on my experience.

Ant Build Test Target

I'm working with ant for the first time, read lots of tutorials and examples, and still cant make this works. Every target works, but with test im getting
"Test TestMaze failed (crashed)."
I've tried to change lot of things (using lot of examples), still nothing. Can anyone tell me where is the problem please? Thanks a lot.

Your test target is generating an xml file because you are using:
<formatter type="xml" />
when the attribute usefile is not used, the default value will be set and in this case, the value is "true".
You can set the attribute to false and the output will be displayed in the console.

pass arguments to apache-ant exec task based on the variable's value

I am only using apache-ant and not ant-contrib
I have an ant target
<target name="stop" depends="init" >

In which i want to invoke exec task.
If the value of a variable HOST_NAME is all
<exec executable="${executeSSH.shell}" >

<arg value="-w 10" />
<arg value="-e ${myOperation.shell} " />

<arg value="-h ${HOST_NAME}" />
<arg value="-i ${INSTANCE}" />
<arg value="-e ${myOperation.shell} " />
<arg value=" -- " />
<arg value="${INSTANCE} ${USERNAME} ${PASSWORD}" />
</exec>
But i would like to write only one task and not to repeatexec. I have used HOST_NAME parameter but what to do about the second parameter -w 10 which is different in both calls.
I have tried a couple of ways by searching on SO by using condition and if else but nothing seems to be applicable for exec or arg.
You can use the condition task:
<condition property="my.optional.arg" value="-w 10" else="">
<equals arg1="${HOST_NAME}" arg2="all" />
</condition>
<exec executable="${executeSSH.shell}" >
<arg value="-h ${HOST_NAME}" />
<arg value="-i ${INSTANCE}" />
<arg line="${my.optional.arg}" />
<arg value="-e ${myOperation.shell} " />
<arg value=" -- " />
<arg value="${INSTANCE} ${USERNAME} ${PASSWORD}" />
</exec>
Try using macrodef. The following example is not tested.
<macrodef name="callSSH">
<element name="extArgs" optional="y"/>
<sequential>
<exec executable="${executeSSH.shell}" >
<arg value="-h ${HOST_NAME}" />
<arg value="-i ${INSTANCE}" />
<extArgs/>
<arg value="-e ${myOperation.shell} " />
<arg value=" -- " />
<arg value="${INSTANCE} ${USERNAME} ${PASSWORD}" />
</exec>
</sequential>
</macrodef>
<target name="stop" depends="init" >
<if>
<equals arg1="${HOST_NAME}" arg2="all"/>
<then>
<callSSH>
<extArgs>
<arg value="-w 10" />
</extArgs>
</callSSH>
</then>
<else>
<callSSH>
<extArgs/>
</callSSH>
</else>
</if>
</target>
Or if you don't use contribs:
<target name="sshExecWithHost" if="HOST_NAME">
<callSSH>
<extArgs>
<arg value="-w 10" />
</extArgs>
</callSSH>
</target>
<target name="sshExecNoHost" unless="HOST_NAME">
<callSSH/>
</target>
<target name="sshSwitch" depends="sshExecNoHost,sshExecWithHost">
</target>
<target name="stop" depends="init,sshSwitch" >
</target>

Msbuild 10 and Nant doesnt copy weboutput

I cant seem to get Nant to copy my web solution to an output folder, such as a Test server. It simply will not copy the files, even though the build succeeds.
According to the docs /p:WebProjectOutputDir should do it.
Thanks in advance.
<echo message="Compiling ${msbuild.workingdir}\${package.name}.sln - Copy to ${development.path}"/>
<exec program="msbuild.exe" basedir="${msbuild.path}" workingdir="${msbuild.workingdir}">
<arg value="/p:Configuration=Test" />
<arg value="/p:UseWPP_CopyWebApplication=True" />
<arg value="/noconsolelogger" />
<arg value="/v:d" />
<arg value="/logger:${lib.nant.path}\loggers\Rodemeyer.MsBuildToCCnet.dll"/>
<arg value="/t:rebuild;ResolveReferences;_CopyWebApplication"/>
<arg value="/p:OutDir=\\latchford\Drop\Club.Registration.DailyBuild\current\bin" />
<arg value="/p:WebProjectOutputDir=\\latchford\Drop\Club.Registration.DailyBuild\current\" />
<arg value="${package.name}.sln"/>
</exec>
<property name="msbuild.output.file" value="${msbuild.workingdir}/msbuild-output.xml"/>
<move if="${file::exists(msbuild.output.file)}" file="${msbuild.output.file}" todir="${log.dir}" failonerror="false" overwrite="true" />
1.The OutDir property must end with a trailing slash: /p:OutDir=..\current\bin\
2.Parameter UseWPP_CopyWebApplication doesn't required just to copy to your output
3.It seems that enough only rebuild target to call
<exec program="msbuild.exe" basedir="${msbuild.path}" workingdir="${msbuild.workingdir}">
<arg value="/p:Configuration=Test" />
<arg value="/noconsolelogger" />
<arg value="/v:d" />
<arg value="/logger:${lib.nant.path}\loggers\Rodemeyer.MsBuildToCCnet.dll"/>
<arg value="/t:rebuild"/>
<arg value="/p:OutDir=\\latchford\Drop\Club.Registration.DailyBuild\current\bin\" />
<arg value="/p:WebProjectOutputDir=\\latchford\Drop\Club.Registration.DailyBuild\current\" />
<arg value="${package.name}.sln"/>
</exec>
