Hello,
I am trying to finish the Part I example in the ROS2 Basics in 5 Days (Python) course and I am running into an error I cannot seem to get around.
I have created my own package called part1_pkg and have created a node called part1_pkg.py inside of it. I have also set up my launch file in accordance with the course materials where everything seems to work fine.
The problem is when I run my launch file, I get the below error traceback:
user:~/ros2_ws$ ros2 launch part1_pkg part1_pkg.launch.py
[INFO] [launch]: All log files can be found below /home/user/.ros/log/2021-10-21-23-30-17-982061-2_xterm-28206

[ERROR] [part1-1]: process has died [pid 28385, exit code 1, cmd ‘/home/user/ros2_ws/install/part1_pkg/lib/part1_pkg/part1 --ros-args’].
After I build my package with colcon and before I run my launch file, I source my environments in the below order:
source /opt/ros/foxy/setup.bash
source ~/ros2_ws/install/setup.bash
Any help will be appreciated, thank you!
