Hello,
In the quiz of section 4 the instruction is to create the service Turn.srv
I’ve created the file turn.srv inside the folder srv inside the pkg services_quiz_srv
when searching for the service
I don’t see /turn
I know I’m missing something but I can’t put my finger on it.
Any ideas
Thank you
@TAURD ,
Did you make/build the package after adding the service message?
I believe this makes the service message “available” for access with service list command. (Although, I may be wrong.)
— Girish
What creates the service is the service server. Which should be a script in your services_quiz directory. If you have not made that, or if you have and you are not running it, the service should not appear.
What should appear though is the Turn.srv interface when doing ros2 interface list.
As Girish says, also remember to build the package with colcon build from the ros2_ws directory in the shell.
Hello,
Thank you for your answer but I’m concerned this is not it.
I don’t remember when I’ve first created the pkg services_quiz and the service Turn.srv in services_quiz_srv but I built it before and after the command ros2 service list
For other services built was not necessary (see the beginning of section 4)
colcon build is not here but services are presented
Any other ideas about what I’m missing here?
Hello,
Thank you for your answer but I’m concerned this is not it.
I did ros2 interface list and looked in the entire list.
before and after colcon build for the entire src folder.
Nothing
I’m missing something for sure cause the code works but gradebot failed me because no /turn service
of course when I do the following I see the service
Any other options please?
Could you show the results of a ros2 interface list | grep services_quiz_srv please? If Turn.srv does not appear there, I do not know how to help you.
Hi @TAURD
let me clarify one thing first:
When you ask for a list of services available (ros2 service list) you are getting a list of services that are running at present. This means, nodes that are running right now in the computer and that have a service server. If you have a node that has a service server, and that node is not running, then the service of that node will not appear. Only the nodes running are taken into account when asking for services available. Actually, we should not say services available but running services.
Another thing is the message (also called interface) of a service. The message/interface of a service is the structure of data that the service will use to exchange information between the server and the client. So, if you do a ros2 interface list you will get a list of ALL THE MESSAGES/INTERFACES THAT EXIST IN THAT COMPUTER. However, in order for a service message/interface to appear in the list, you must have sourced the ROS2 workspace that contains the definition of that message/interface.
Having understood the previous two points, now we can solve your problem:
Turn.srv. That workspace is ros2_ws.So you need to do:
source ~/ros2_ws/install/setup.bash
That source, includes already a source of /opt/ros/foxy/setup.bash in the inside, so you don’t need to source again the Foxy directory.
Now, you can list the messages/interfaces available with:
ros2 interface list
You should see your message in the list of services.
Thank you @rtellez for your answer
I understood both points
(Now I have a new question which is who made other services to running services?)
I did the source command
done!
done
No /turn here
Also no /age
(I complied and sourced before taking any action above)
Can you clarify
Thank you
It looks like you have a problem with your sources mixing ROS1 and ROS2.
Try this to clean everything:
~/ros2_ws and delete build, install and log directories~/ros2_ws
/opt/ros/foxy/setup.bash
ros2_ws
This should have generated a new fresh code which only sources ROS2.
Now, what do you get from the list of interfaces?
Hello
Thank you for your answer @rtellez
Here are the step I performed:
step 1:
before
after
step 2:
Done
step 3:
Done
step 4:
Done
step 5:
Done
then
ros2 interface list or ros2 service list
No turn in the list 
What am I doing wrong here??
Any other options
Thank you
Hello
Thank you @rtellez @GasPatxo @girishkumar.kannan and my student @benjamin32561 for the help
This was the error
Since I did copy-paste from movement_pkg
Now I have
and here its is (after launching the launch file)
