This is especially true for ROS2 Humble Hawksbill users. I believe the .py extension still works for the ROS2 Foxy Fitzroy users.

I used humble, and after entering this command , i find this error!
command:
[ros2 run robot_state_publisher robot_state_publisher --ros-args -p robot_description:=“$(xacro path/to/my/xacro/file.urdf.xacro)”]

The error:
Traceback (most recent call last):

inp = f = open(filename)

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:
