ROS2 Node URDF importer does not work - node robot_state_publisher not found

Isaac Sim Version

4.1.0

Operating System

Ubuntu 22.04

Topic Description

I am in the process of importing an Interbotix Robotic arm inside Isaac Sim, by using the “Use ROS2 Node” of the URDF importer. As per this tutorial, URDF Importer — Omniverse IsaacSim, I launch the Isaac Ros Dev docker container where i have all my Interbotix dependencies installed, i launch the transform publisher for the robot description node and then I try to import it inside Isaac sim where i am prompted with the node “robot_state_publisher not found” error.
See attached picture for more details.

It is noticable in the rqt_graph that the ros2 node started correctly.

Additionally, the ros2 bridge started normally and i am able to run examples from the isaac ros documentation that employ this extension.
