Common Issues

There are some common issues which may be encountered while using the toolbox.

Toolbox Volatility

The toolbox is still in beta stage and thus has frequent and often breaking changes. We follow the Semantic Versioning guidlines.

Installed off PiPI?

You can update the toolbox: pip install --upgrade roboticstoolbox-python and this should update spatialmath-python and swift as required.

Installed using Github Version?

If the toolbox is installed from Github, you are also required to install Swift and Spatialmath from Github and not PyPI.

If you update the toolbox through git pull and reinstall (if not using an interactive install) you will also need to use the Github version of Swift and Spatialmath and pull the latest changes (and reinstall if required) from those.

Due to the C extensions built into the toolbox and Swift, if the C extensions have been modified, you will need to reinstall the corresponding package to rebuild the C extension. This is required even if you did an interactive install.
