After following the instructions step-by-step and running:

roslaunch my_cartpole_training start_training.launch

, I am receiving this error:

Is this class present in the file, where your

'CartPoleStayUp-v1'

gym environment is defined?

Yep here are the steps I took:

  1. Copied stay_up.py to src/my_cartpole_task_env.py
  2. vim my_cartpole_task_env.py
  3. :%s/v0/v1/g :wq # replaced all occurrences of “v0” to “v1”
  4. vim start_training.py
  5. Changed from openai_ros.task_envs.cartpole_stay_up import stay_up to from my_cartpole_task_env import stay_up
  6. Also tried from openai_ros.task_envs.cartpole_stay_up import stay_up to import my_cartpole_task_env
  7. :%s/v0/v1/g :wq
  8. roslaunch my_cartpole_training start_training.launch

Does your file ‘my_cartpole_task_env’ have the correct entry point? This should be what causes the error.

I had the same problem and I solved by changing the entry point from ‘openai_ros:CartPoleStayUpEnv’ to ‘my_cartpole_task_env:CartPoleStayUpEnv’
