I came across next error while executing navigation of turtlebot with elastic band. As a condition, there is an obstacle(trash) between initial position and goal position. Without a trash, the error doesn't happen.

[ERROR] [1398906064.119511556]: Failed to pass global plan to the controller, aborting.

So, I looked for where the error happened and found that same ROS_ERROR code is described on line 171 in eband_local_planner_ros.cpp.

    if(!eband_->setPlan(transformed_plan_))
    {
        ROS_ERROR("Setting plan to Elastic Band method failed!");
        return false;
    }

If eband_.setPlan() is true, ROS_ERROR doesn't happen. But, I don't come up with the solution that it become true. Could anyone tell me any solution if you know it? Thank you in advance!

I use carrot_planner as global_planner. Is it bad to match the planner with eband_local_planner?
