gazebo_ros package is a vital package for communication between ros2 and gazebo as far as I know. But I cannot find it in robostack channel:
mamba search gazebo_ros -c robostack
result: No match found for: gazebo_ros. Search: *gazebo_ros*
my launch.py:
import os
from ament_index_python.packages import get_package_share_directory
from launch import LaunchDescription
from launch_ros.actions import Node
from launch.actions import ExecuteProcess
def generate_launch_description():
# Paths to the URDF file
pkg_share = get_package_share_directory('hrssd')
default_model_path = os.path.join(pkg_share, 'urdf', 'hrssd.urdf')
# Launch Gazebo with an empty world, replace this with your world file if needed
gazebo = ExecuteProcess(
cmd=['gazebo', '--verbose', '-s', 'libgazebo_ros_factory.so'],
output='screen'
)
# Node to spawn the robot in Gazebo
spawn_entity = Node(package='gazebo_ros', executable='spawn_entity.py',
arguments=['-entity', 'hrssd', '-file', default_model_path],
output='screen')
return LaunchDescription([
gazebo,
spawn_entity,
])
run with this command: ros2 launch hrssd hrssd.launch.py
error:
[INFO] [launch]: All log files can be found below /Users/X/.ros/log/2024-02-04-00-15-30-935223-MSK-C02DW5J1MD6R.local-1565

If you have some working examples launch.py with gazebo-ros integration on robostack will be highly acceptable, thank you!
This error is seems related: ros2 launch file does not spawing custom urdf but because there is no explanation of error, and i cannot leave comments (stupid reputation system) I cannot be 100% sure.
