Problem With Installation of Color Feature

[ezragblock]

Hello,

I'm working on installing the color feature.
everything builds well except for the esim_ros. The issue it gives is the following:

Errors << esim_ros:make /home/ezrag/sim_ws/logs/esim_ros/build.make.009.log
File "/home/ezrag/sim_ws/src/rpg_esim/event_camera_simulator/esim_ros/cfg/example_color.cfg", line 4
--path_to_output_bag=/tmp/out.bag
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
make[2]: *** [CMakeFiles/esim_ros_gencfg.dir/build.make:76: /home/ezrag/sim_ws/devel/.private/esim_ros/include/esim_ros/example_colorConfig.h] Error 1
make[1]: *** [CMakeFiles/Makefile2:2838: CMakeFiles/esim_ros_gencfg.dir/all] Error 2
make[1]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
make: *** [Makefile:146: all] Error 2

I tried renaming the cfg file to conf or moving it, but that just causes this issue:

Errors << esim_ros:make /home/ezrag/sim_ws/logs/esim_ros/build.make.008.log
make[2]: *** No rule to make target '/home/ezrag/sim_ws/src/rpg_esim/event_camera_simulator/esim_ros/cfg/example_color.cfg', needed by '/home/ezrag/sim_ws/devel/.private/esim_ros/include/esim_ros/example_colorConfig.h'. Stop.
make[1]: *** [CMakeFiles/Makefile2:2838: CMakeFiles/esim_ros_gencfg.dir/all] Error 2
make[1]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
make: *** [Makefile:146: all] Error 2

any ideas why this is happening? It seems to me that the build is trying to refer to it as pythonic code, even though it's just a configuration file that doesn't fit the python language standards.

If anyone runs into that issue too, you need to switch example_color.ctg contents with this:

#!/usr/bin/env python
PACKAGE = "esim_ros"
from dynamic_reconfigure.parameter_generator_catkin import *

gen = ParameterGenerator()

add parameters here, for example:

gen.add("vmodule", str_t, 0, "The vmodule parameter", "--vmodule=data_provider_online_render=0,camera_simulator=0")
gen.add("random_seed", int_t, 0, "The random seed", 50)
