The navigation 2 panel on RVIZ2 is not working

Course Support ROS2 Navigation

I set the autostart of the lifecycle_manager to false; then, there is no managed node running automatically.

lifecycle_nodes = ['map_server', 'amcl', 'controller_server', 'planner_server','bt_navigator', 'waypoint_follower']
run_lifecycle_manager_cmd = Node(
            package='nav2_lifecycle_manager',
            executable='lifecycle_manager',
            name='lifecycle_manager_localization',
            output='screen',
            parameters=[{'use_sim_time': use_sim_time},
                        {'autostart': False},
                        {'node_names': lifecycle_nodes}])
ld.add_action(run_lifecycle_manager_cmd)

Then I active the navigation 2 panel on RVIZ2, and the RVIZ starts to complain. No button on this panel is activated.

Hello @bluebird,
This is the expected behavior. The Navigation 2 Rviz Panel requires the lifecycle manager.

Cheers,

I have the Lifecycle manager running; however, the error continually pops out and rushes away all other warnings. I use my photo to capture the screen because before the ‘Waiting For’ error, there are many warnings.

Hi @bluebird, I think I don’t fully understand your question. Is your question about the

Waiting for the lifecycle_manager_navigation/is_active service

message or is your question about the warnings that you see before that message?

Cheers,

Roberto
