Setting python development environment Isaac Sim

Omniverse Isaac Sim

Hi, I found how to enable IntelliSense for custom package locations (at least for the omniverse kit) in the container

It is necessary to install Remote - SSH and Python extension

Then, you need to edit the .vscode/settings.json and write the next lines where:

  • /isaac-sim/_build/target-deps/kit_sdk_release/_build/target-deps/python/bin/python3 is the python used by Isaac Sim
  • /isaac-sim/_build/target-deps/kit_sdk_release/_build/linux-x86_64/release/plugins/bindings-python contains the python bindings for omniverse kit
{
    "python.pythonPath": "/isaac-sim/_build/target-deps/kit_sdk_release/_build/target-deps/python/bin/python3",
    "python.autoComplete.extraPaths": [
        "/isaac-sim/_build/target-deps/kit_sdk_release/_build/linux-x86_64/release/plugins/bindings-python"
    ]
}

The next image shows an example of IntelliSense working

Also, to guarantee the ssh connection with the container the next tips can be helpful:

  • Check the ssh service status in the container: service ssh status. If the service is not working, the restart it: service ssh restart

  • According to the steps that I use to connect to my container, I export the ssh port to 12222 (-p 12222:22). So, I specify the port in the ssh configuration file:

    Host Isaac
    HostName IP_OF_THE_REMOTE_WORKSTATION
    User root
    Port 12222
