Hi when I run the launch

roslaunch my_mira_description spawn_mira_simple_collisions_inertias.launch

I get the error

process[urdf_spawner-1]: started with pid [21937]
the rosdep view is empty: call 'sudo rosdep init' and 'rosdep update'
SpawnModel script started

That error is normal, its just ending the URDF spawner.
Another thing is that it doesnt spwan the model or whatever.
Whats the issue exactly?

Oh I thought that the process wasn’t suppose to die when the spawner launched.
The spawning works! Thanks!!
