failed to create process when running ros2 on W11 when spaces are in path

[RicardoSPeres]

Solution to issue cannot be found in the documentation.

• I checked the documentation.

Issue

Followed the getting started documentation and managed to get rviz2 up and running (despite getting multiple errors stating "could not load pixmap package").
However when I try to run ros2, or for instance ros2 launch for a launch file, it only prints "failed to create process.". Sourcing the workspace with "call install/local_setup.bat" didn't help either.
Any help would be appreciated, thank you

I tried a few commands and they are working fine. Can you report exactly the command you are executing that is resulting in "failed to create process." error? Thanks!

[RicardoSPeres]

After following the "getting started" instructions, testing works fine and rviz2 opens the rviz window as expected. However any command starting with "ros2" results in the "failed to create process" output, it can be anything from just running "ros2", to "ros2 run <package_name> ", "ros2 launch <package_name> <launch_file>" etc.

I noticed there are multiple errors when I activate the ros2 env, might be related. Here's the output after running "mamba activate ros_humble":

I just tried ros2 launch turtlesim multisim.launch.py from https://docs.ros.org/en/rolling/Tutorials/Beginner-CLI-Tools/Launching-Multiple-Nodes/Launching-Multiple-Nodes.html and it is working fine?
Can you tell exactly a command (i.e. that I can just copy&paste the command to reproduce the problem) that is giving you the error? Thanks!

[RicardoSPeres]

The issue happens with anything starting with ros2, I just tried running ros2 launch turtlesim multisim.launch.py and the output is still "failed to create process.". Thank you

[traversaro]

Can you try to install the environment in a directory without spaces? You can do that by creating an environment in a specific directory with mamba -p C:\testenv instead of creating a named environment with mamba -n.

By manually creating an environment with a space in the path, I was able to reproduce the problem. The error seems to be similar to pypa/pip#2783, even if that one should be solved.

[traversaro]

The problem does not occurs with entry_points in conda-forge recipes, so it is either a problem of boa or of how recipes with Python entry_points are generated in robostack.

[Tobias-Fischer]

I don't think we take care of the specifying Python entry points in the meta.yaml/recipe.yaml (as per https://docs.conda.io/projects/conda-build/en/stable/resources/define-metadata.html#python-entry-points). We might be able to steal some code from grayskull to generate them in vinca automatically.
