IDE Set Up with Isaac Lab 2.0 not working

[bamertsa]

Hello,

After following the installation instructions and verifying my installation by running python scripts/rsl_rl/train.py --task=Template-Isaac-Velocity-Rough-Anymal-D-v0 I was not able to setup vscode according to the installation guide.

When I run the setup_python_env task I am faced with the following error:

Executing task: ${HOME}/.local/share/ov/pkg/isaac_sim-4.2.0/python.sh /home/bamertsa/IsaacLabExtensionTemplate/.vscode/tools/setup_vscode.py --isaac_path ${HOME}/.local/share/ov/pkg/isaac_sim-4.2.0 

/bin/bash: line 1: /home/bamertsa/.local/share/ov/pkg/isaac_sim-4.2.0/python.sh: No such file or directory

 *  The terminal process "/bin/bash '-c', '${HOME}/.local/share/ov/pkg/isaac_sim-4.2.0/python.sh /home/bamertsa/IsaacLabExtensionTemplate/.vscode/tools/setup_vscode.py --isaac_path ${HOME}/.local/share/ov/pkg/isaac_sim-4.2.0'" failed to launch (exit code: 127). 

As you can see the default Isaac Sim path is pointing to the wrong version. The description of the path selection screen, states that if Isaac Sim is installed via pip (which I did) the path can be ignored. The error above suggests otherwise however. Changing the version to the correct one (i.e. Isaac Sim 4.5.0) did not help either, as there is not isaac_sim-4.5.0 in the above mentioned directory.

Thank you for your help!

2nd this.

I get the same error after installing IsaacSim via pip in a conda environment, then installing IsaacLab in this env.

I get the following error running the task with empty IsaacSim path (as instructed for pip installed isaacsim):

 *  Executing task: /python.sh /home/josh/Dev/IsaacLabExtensionTemplate/.vscode/tools/setup_vscode.py --isaac_path  

/usr/bin/bash: line 1: /python.sh: No such file or directory

 *  The terminal process "/usr/bin/bash '-c', '/python.sh /home/josh/Dev/IsaacLabExtensionTemplate/.vscode/tools/setup_vscode.py --isaac_path '" failed to launch (exit code: 127). 
 *  Terminal will be reused by tasks, press any key to close it. 

If I do:

>>> import os
>>> isaacsim_dir = os.environ.get("ISAAC_PATH", "")
>>> print(isaacsim_dir)
/home/josh/anaconda3/envs/env_isaaclab/lib/python3.10/site-packages/isaacsim

and use this directory for the task I get a similar error:

 *  Executing task: /home/josh/anaconda3/envs/env_isaaclab/lib/python3.10/site-packages/isaacsim/python.sh /home/josh/Dev/IsaacLabExtensionTemplate/.vscode/tools/setup_vscode.py --isaac_path /home/josh/anaconda3/envs/env_isaaclab/lib/python3.10/site-packages/isaacsim 

/usr/bin/bash: line 1: /home/josh/anaconda3/envs/env_isaaclab/lib/python3.10/site-packages/isaacsim/python.sh: No such file or directory

 *  The terminal process "/usr/bin/bash '-c', '/home/josh/anaconda3/envs/env_isaaclab/lib/python3.10/site-packages/isaacsim/python.sh /home/josh/Dev/IsaacLabExtensionTemplate/.vscode/tools/setup_vscode.py --isaac_path /home/josh/anaconda3/envs/env_isaaclab/lib/python3.10/site-packages/isaacsim'" failed to launch (exit code: 127). 
 *  Terminal will be reused by tasks, press any key to close it. 

Any help here would be great!

I'm not entirely sure how this reflects in this extension template repo, but if it is similar to Isaac Lab's developer's guide, then VSCode setup only works with the binary installation of Isaac Sim, as mentioned in a warning: https://isaac-sim.github.io/IsaacLab/v2.1.0/source/overview/developer-guide/vs_code.html :

The following instructions on setting up Visual Studio Code only work with Isaac Sim Binaries Installation and not with Pip Installation.

I wonder whether the readme of the extension template is just outdated. It also says a .python.env file should be created after running the task. This doesn't happen on my side (using binary installation), but according to the link above just two .json files are supposed to be created after running the task, which works for me so far.

I hope this helps a little.
