tracetools_trace.tools.path module

tracetools_trace.tools.path.append_timestamp(session_name_base: str) → str

Append timestamp to base session name.

Parameters:

session_name_base – the base name of the tracing session

Returns:

the session name with timestamp

tracetools_trace.tools.path.get_tracing_directory() → str

Get tracing directory path.

Uses various environment variables to construct a tracing directory path. Use $ROS_TRACE_DIR if ROS_TRACE_DIR is set and not empty. Otherwise, use $ROS_HOME/tracing, using ~/.ros for ROS_HOME if not set or if empty. It also expands ‘~’ to the current user’s home directory, and normalizes the path, converting the path separator if necessary.

Returns:

the path to the tracing directory
