[ros-users] [Discourse.ros.org] [Next Generation ROS/Troubleshooting] Ros1_bridge failed to pass tf_static message when subscribed from rviz

[William Woodall]

Without digging in too much, my guess is that rviz is launched after the bridge and the bridge doesn't support latching (or transient local durability for ROS 2), see:

https://github.com/ros2/navigation/issues/3#issuecomment-286284274

The right fix is to support latching in the `ros1_bridge`, but there was some discussion on how to best support that and it was never resolved.

The other option would be to modift tf2 in ROS 2 to publish `/tf_static` periodically.
