We are wondering if we are the only ones who is having trouble with the 2024 Driver Station button “restart robot code?” We are unable to just restart the robot code like we did in 2023 driver station.
We are using the latest Game Tools download.
The restart “rio” button works, and the local “reset” button on the Roborio works, but not the restart robot code…
We have been experiencing this on our test robot. I haven’t tried the competition bot yet – will do it tonight. We had this problem on the test robot beginning with the beta version of the game tools but I was hesitant to report it again until we had the real code on the real bot.
Please report all bugs in beta software ASAP; it’s the whole point of beta software. Now that we’re in competition season, our options for fixing the root cause are more limited.
I mentioned it here: Strange state: can't restart robot code and riolog pane in VSCode not working · wpilibsuite/2024Beta · Discussion #54 · GitHub but never had a chance to do sufficient experimentation to follow up and make a proper case out of it. I haven’t seen any mention of this behavior by anyone else 'til now.
Tonight I tried Restart Code on our competition bot and it worked fine. Main differences are RoboRIO 1 (test bot) vs RoboRIO 2 (comp bot) and the comp bot has the full complement of CAN devices where the test bot has none. Thus the test bot gets a lot of errors about missing CAN devices.
Another data point. On the RoboRIO 1 where Restart Robot Code button in the Driver Station (version 24.0.1 by the way; and WPILib 2024.3.1) does not work, the analogous button in Phoenix Tuner X does work.
So this seems to be something that is more about the DS and less about what is happening on the rio.
I think this is enough information to open an issue, which I will do.
I encountered this today. Strangely enough I could swear it was fine yesterday but maybe I am imagining it
