PermissionError with nnvg for cpp

Applications & Usage Nunavut
1

When I generate C headers using nunavut the command runs without errors

sdo91@p51 ~/example
  $ nnvg --templates nunavut/src/nunavut/lang/c --outdir output/c --target-language c public_regulated_data_types/uavcan/

But when I try a similar command for C++, I get this error:

sdo91@p51 ~/example
  $ nnvg --templates nunavut/src/nunavut/lang/cpp --outdir output/cpp --target-language cpp public_regulated_data_types/uavcan/

Anything I can do to resolve this? Thanks.

I on branch master for public_regulated_data_types
I tried both master and c-serialization-corrections for nunavut and get the same error
nnvg --version shows 0.5.1

I’m pretty sure there is currently no serialisation for C++ :wink: although the error looks a bit like a problem with directory access permissions.

Found the issue.
Looks like when I updated nunavut I ended up with both serialization.hpp and serialization.j2 in ~/.local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/nunavut/lang/cpp/support. These were conflicting. I think serialization.hpp was from an older version of nunavut, so I removed it, and that resolved the conflict.

It’s not going to work either way because there is no C++ support yet. We will update the docs shortly to make it clear:

I have written my own C++ templates for basic serialization/deserialization of primitives/arrays
