Exercise 6.2 Could NOT find iri_wam_reproduce_trajectory

Course Support ROS Basics In 5 Days (Python)

Hi,

When building the custom message following the steps of 6.2 I get this error which is completely unrelated to this unit. It is going to the unit_5_services I created and giving me an error. However, when I ran catkin_make in the previous unit it worked fine. Please help.

Hi,

Its notan issue related to you. Most of the units are independent environments. Thatmeans that in previous unit you had the iriwam simulations and all its dependencies.
But in this next unit with the bb8 simulation, the iriwam_reproduce_trajectory is not there.

So I would suggest to ways around this:

  1. You remove the unit5packages you created thatdepends on that package.
  2. You go to the unit 5 , copythat package to your workspace and then you will have it always, and be able to compile always. I woudl suggets this secondone, that way you will be able to have all your code always.

How to:

Go to Unit5 and execute the following commands:

roscd iri_wam_reproduce_trajectory
cd ..
cp -r iri_wam_reproduce_trajectory /home/user/catkin_ws/src

Now you can go to any unit and compile and the iri_wam_reproduce_trajectory package will not give issues :wink:

Sadly - the environment here seems to be more different. Even having ensured I source catkin_ws/devel/setup.bash, I get the following:

user:~/catkin_ws$ roscd iri_wam_reproduce_trajectory
roscd: No such package/stack 'iri_wam_reproduce_trajectory'

Seems to not even be installed in the bb8 (exercise 6) environment. Perhaps I should pkg create an exercise 6 package without that dependency instead of reusing the exercise 5 package.

Or perhaps not - catkin build will still try to make exercise 5.
Ok - in exercise 5, you can open up CMakeLists.txt, and comment out the package:

find_package(catkin REQUIRED COMPONENTS
#   iri_wam_reproduce_trajectory
  rospy
)

That way catkin build works.
