Revision history [back]

I would add that doing some subsequent research, these errors happen and I fail when using:

ros::param::getCached()

however:

somenodehandle.getParamCached() DOES seem to work.

so I think maybe the docs should specify that ros::param::getCached() is probably not to be used. If you want updated parameters, one needs to go through a valid nodehandle.
