Launch files failed to be run

Hi all,

I am opening that issue because I am not able to run both the launch files,

roslaunch teraranger_description tower_evo_view.launch

and

roslaunch teraranger_description tower_view.launch.

I obtain the same error in the terminal which I report it here:

liana@liana-MS-7820 ~/catkin_ws $ roslaunch teraranger_description tower_evo_view.launch

Is it possible to fix it?

many thanks,

Update

So, I have played a bit with the files involved. If I modify the param hub_id in these files:

1. teraranger_description/urdf/teraranger_tower.urdf.xacro
2. teraranger_description/urdf/teraranger_evo_tower.urdf.xacro

with different id, the following error:

• [ERROR] [1650272816.130551090]: joint 'inertial_joint_0' is not unique.
  [robot_state_publisher-2] process has died [pid 3924, exit code 1, cmd /opt/ros/melodic/lib/robot_state_publisher/state_publisher __name:=robot_state_publisher __log:=/home/liana/.ros/log/e4d9611e-bef6-11ec-b526-d8cb8a3f0cce/robot_state_publisher-2.log].
  log file: /home/liana/.ros/log/e4d9611e-bef6-11ec-b526-d8cb8a3f0cce/robot_state_publisher-2*.log

is fixed.

Furthermore, with the following warning

• [ WARN] [1650272816.127443035]: The 'state_publisher' executable is deprecated. Please use 'robot_state_publisher' instead

it is not possible to visualize that models on rviz (which is the tool I use to visualize them). Therefore, fixing it as suggested it works jointly with the xacro deprecated version warnings.

Anyhow, if it is possible having all fixed inside the repo, it could be great.

thank you for your time,

Liana.
