Hi everybody, I am trying a global planner based on D* lite. I am using launch files in sbpl_lattice_planner. But move_base dies as soon as goal is passed through nav_view! The problem is how to run this complete setup in gdb as there are multiple executables involved and roslaunch do a lot of things. Parameters can be set using rosparam, but How I can run a node in some namespace in gdb ?

The part of launch file look like this: <node ns="local_costmap" name="voxel_grid_throttle" pkg="topic_tools" type="throttle" args="messages voxel_grid 3.0 voxel_grid_throttled"/> <node pkg="move_base" type="move_base" respawn="false" name="move_base_node" output="screen">

thanks prince

Not sure about the namespace thing, but to launch a node in gdb you usually add the launch-prefix attribute to the node tag like this:

<node launch-prefix="gdb -ex run --args" .../>

Did you try that already?

Hi,

I could run package binray in a namespace as

ROS_NAMESPACE=<namespace> <path to="" executable=""> [arguments]

Thanks LiMubei. I had not tried them. I was running the binaries directly using gdb.

You can find some information on command line parameters to set the node name and namespace here: http://www.ros.org/wiki/Remapping%20Arguments
