Hi,

I’ve created the pkg as it’s required in exercise 3.1 of course ROS basics (C++).

When I launch the service /trajectory_by_name, I get this error:

[ERROR] [1597261187.265499938]: Failed to call service /trajectory_by_name
[service_client-1] process has died [pid 17000, exit code 1, cmd /home/user/catkin_ws/devel/lib/service_client_pkg/simple_service_client __name:=service_client __log:=/home/user/.ros/log/e64f8104-dcd0-11ea-8703-0222fea6f48d/service_client-1.log].
log file: /home/user/.ros/log/e64f8104-dcd0-11ea-8703-0222fea6f48d/service_client-1*.log

Any help is appreciated.

Hey @mohammad.b,

Did you start the service before trying to call it? Typically you would start the service in one terminal (shell) and call it in another.

Please let us know.
