I have a custom ROS2 message that am integrating into a Matlab function that is getting deployed on a remote Linux maching using Coder. During the 'colcon build' step of the Coder execution, I am getting the error:
error: cannot convert 'struct_T*' to 'const uavrt_interfaces_PulseStruct_T*'
82 | MATLABROS2Publisher_publish(pulsePub.PublisherHelper, &pulseMsg);
| ^~~~~~~~~
| |
| struct_T*
The rest of the terminal output after this is at the bottom of this message. My minimally functional Matlab function is below. The error is associated the C++ line of code that corresponds to the send(pulsePub,pulseMsg) line in my Matlab function. It seems to be upset about the type of pulseMsg, but that variable is defined as a ros2message earlier in my code. Below, I have also include the custom ROS2 message definition for Pulse.msg. I have also included the commands I use for using Coder. What is frustrating is that was working a few weeks ago and I can't seem to figure out what changed to cause colcon to error out.
MATLAB Function:
function [] = uavrt_detection_debug()
fprintf("Preparing ROS2 Node and Messages...")
node = ros2node("detector",0);
pulsePub = ros2publisher(node,"/pulse","uavrt_interfaces/Pulse");
pulseMsg = ros2message(pulsePub);
pulseMsg.detector_id = char(ID);
pulseMsg.start_time.sec = int32(1);
pulseMsg.start_time.nanosec = uint32(1);
pulseMsg.end_time.sec = int32(1);
pulseMsg.end_time.nanosec = uint32(1);
pulseMsg.predict_next_start.sec = int32(1);
pulseMsg.predict_next_start.nanosec = uint32(1);
pulseMsg.predict_next_end.sec = int32(1);
pulseMsg.predict_next_end.nanosec = uint32(1);
pulseMsg.group_ind = uint16(3);
pulseMsg.group_SNR = 123;
pulseMsg.detection_status = true;
pulseMsg.confirmed_status = false;
pulseCount = pulseCount+1;
fprintf('Transmitted a pulse...\n')

# This is our custom message for pulses

The error is that shows up in the Matlab Terminal:
