    Hi all, i have a problem.

    I have connected ROS2 FOXY and UNITY, and i am trying to run RosPublisherExample, but when i enter ros2 topic list, there is only /parameter_events and /rosout, there is no pos_rot topic.

    i tried adding --network="host" to the command, and i also changed name of the topic, but it didnt work.

    My OS: Windows 10, but i am running ROS2 and have my Colcon Workspace in WSL and with Windows Terminal
    Unity Version: 2020.3.30f1
    ROS2: FOXY
    ROS2 Domain ID: 1
    Also, i am not using Docker

    Here are screenshots of the issue:

    Weird. The log shows your endpoint has tried to register as a publisher and subscriber (and it thinks it has succeeded, and indeed ros is warning that you had already registered) - I can't imagine how you'd get that message without the publisher also showing up in the topic list.

    All I can think is that your "ros2 topic list" command is somehow talking to a different instance of ros2? (If you run ros2 topic list without having started ros_tcp_endpoint, do you get a different output?)

    PS: 192.168 is the prefix for a local IP address, so there's no reason to black them out. (Each local area network has its own version of those addresses. If someone tried to connect to it, it would be like opening the door with your apartment number, except they're in the wrong building.)

    Hi, so a little update, i uninstalled Ubuntu and installed it agin with wsl install Ubuntu-20.04 in CMD.
    i also changed wsl version to 2. this is what is happening now. I can finally see the topic, but when i try to run it, it shows that it cannot find unity_robotics_demo_msgs

    also, path to unity_robotics_demo_msgs has changed into
    //wsl$/Ubuntu-20.04/home/juraj/ros2_ws/src/unity_robotics_demo_msgs

    Any advice what to do now?
