source ~/.bashrc_bridge
ros2 run ros1_bridge dynamic_bridge --bridge-all-topics

but i am getting this error

because my goal is to type

rostopic list

Hi, welcome to the community!

What is happening is that you are launching the ros1_bridge, a tool used to communicate ROS and ROS 2, without anything on the ROS side.

Have you launched the simulation? This (or a real robot) is what provides the topics you are trying to bridge.

Ah the simulation has to be open , i thought it can still run without the window being open. Thanks for your help
