I don’t really have the time to test it throughly, but people have tried prior iterations of this and they seem to work. Let us know what you find!
This process worked, however I received an error afterwards. the error generally reads that it cannot find wpilib.robotbase, even though I have the wpilib library installed. Any suggestions?
Do you have a more exact error? There is a wpilib.RobotBase, but not robotbase.
Yes, that module. My apologies. Should I send a traceback?
That would be ideal. And code?
Ok, so I reinstalled some things, and now I am getting this error. Sorry to be throwing you for a loop here. Here is the traceback:

Given what you’ve shown here, that should work. Which platform are you on?
robotpy-commands 2020.1.2.1has important fixes, be sure to update! Not available for roborio at the moment, but I’ll push a build later tonight.
I am running on Arch Linux.
I’m not sure why it’s not working for you, but it might be a weird namespace thing? In particular, older versions of robotpy-build didn’t support namespaces… which is odd that you don’t have that installed.
What you might try doing is uninstalling wpilib and robotpy-commands-v1, then building wheels for both of them (pip wheel NAME), then installing the wheels directly (pip install foo.whl).
… we’re definitely going to be looking at building wheels for linux sometime in the near future, so this should go away once we get that figured out.
I fixed it! Thanks though. Not sure what I did exactly.
A variety of methods have changed as of 2020.1.2.2, see https://github.com/robotpy/robotpy-commands-v1/pull/3 for details.
Lots of progress with robotpy 2020, thank you all for your hard work!
I ported our team’s 2019 robotpy code to the 2020 release. I’m in a windows conda 3.8 env I made just for robotpy, and other than ipython I installed only the following:
pip install -U pyfrc --pre
pip install -U robotpy-commands-v1 robotpy-ctre robotpy-navx robotpy-rev robotpy-rev-color
which after a pip list currently gives me the following relevant packages:
pyfrc 2020.0.0
pynetworktables 2020.0.1
pyntcore 2020.1.2.2
robotpy-commands-v1 2020.1.2.2

robotpy-wpilib-utilities 2020.0.2
robotpy-wpiutil 2020.1.2.2
wpilib 2020.1.2.3
I can get the sim window up, I can deploy to the rio, and I can send data back from the spark max controllers, get data from the color sensor and the navx. Every number shows up fine on shuffleboard via putNumber. That’s all good, indicating that the old subsystems work fine. Most of my problems were in figuring out when to import commands, subsystems and buttons from wpilib.command, which basically involved changing a lot of wpilb imports to wpilib.command imports. All of my v1 commands work when called from standard JoystickButton bindings to commands_v1.
However, at the moment I have two problems:

And trying to bind one of these dies in the exact same way as the putData.
It’s pretty fluid right now (forgive the mess, everything is in testing phase at the moment), but the oi code is at GitHub - aesatchien/FRC2429_2020 at robo2020
Any thoughts?
Thanks!
Hey @CJ_Hill the problem is that you don’t call the superclass constructor for some of your objects. We don’t currently have a good way to catch that, and as you’ve noticed the documentation is lacking… but working on this.
Anyways, here’s the diff of your code that no longer crashed:

Thank you!
I really appreciate all of your time for the project and for inspecting my huge ask here.
I updated all the subsystems and triggers to make sure the parent init method is called. I now have my POV and axis buttons working exactly as in 2019 (when being sloppy with the parent init didn’t bite me!). Furthermore, I can send a subsystem to the SmartDashboard w/o killing the code, e.g.:
wpilib.SmartDashboard.putData(self.drivetrain)
I am still unable to get any of the commands to send to the dashboard for execution. Anything in oi like
from commands.intake import Intake
...
# simple intake command
wpilib.SmartDashboard.putData(Intake(robot, power=0.5, button=None))
# or
wpilib.SmartDashboard.putData("Drive Forward", AutonomousDrive(robot, setpoint=None, control_type='position', timeout=6))
still ends the sim with a Windows fatal exception: access violation and also kills the code on the rio.
Any thoughts on why a command being used through a putData() call is crashing?
Yes, see https://robotpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/2020_notes.html#common-causes
I’ll file a bug so that this gets addressed in the future for putData.
Thank you for pointing me to the updated docs. I didn’t see the common errors section when it dropped. The hint about retaining a reference to the object being called fixed it for me. Specifically, adding something like the following for each putData seems to have done the trick:
self.intake_command = Intake(robot, power=0.5, button=None) wpilib.SmartDashboard.putData("Intake", self.intake_command)
That fixed the access violation caused by a putData() call.
Now our robotpy 2020 code can do everything the 2019 code could. Thanks!
Hi! Thank you for all the hard work you have been pouring into robotPy 2020 and also for helping us with our problems! We got our code to work on a test drive and no major problems. Next we needed to port our old program to 2020 but we have a problem with the scheduler when it runs getInstance().run(). It gives us this error:
We tried testing it by taking out self.s and replacing it with Scheduler, but it still did not work.
Here is our program:
The problem is that one of your commands does not override the required ‘isFinished’ function. We have a bug open to make the error message better.
It appears that the teleop command does not have a isFInished function.
I’ve fixed the terrible error message (https://github.com/robotpy/robotpy-build/issues/48), so future releases of the command framework will have better error messages when this type of failure occurs. You can probably expect a new release later tonight.
