Can't load rosparams in cpp [closed]

edit

Hello,

I have a yaml file that I use to get the extrinsic parameters of a stereo camera calibration to broadcast them to TF. I load them in the launch file and use them in a cpp file. The problem is if I don't load them first within the terminal with rosparam load path_to_file, I always get an error each parameter cannot be loaded. Here are the yaml, launch and cpp file:

yaml:

translation_vector:
  rows: 1
  cols: 3
  data: [-6.718487289238215e-05, 0.010357273240538437, 0.0005853021648665484]
rotation_matrix:
  rows: 1
  cols: 3
  data: [-0.9999990189116211, -0.0013801575387492157, -0.00023945973262821368, 0.0013761198212543803, -0.9998692197431468, 0.016113649632171025, -0.0002616677910394789, 0.01611330429797217, 0.9998701380452202]

launch:

<launch>
    <node pkg="get_extrinsic" type="get_extrinsic" name="get_extrinsic" output="screen">
        <rosparam file="/home/ariel/.ros/extrinsic.yaml" command="load" ns="extrinsic_parameters"/>

        ros::Duration(0.5).sleep();
    }

    ros::spin();
    return 0;
};

If I just do roslaunch I always get the error, but loading the yaml file through the terminal before launching the node it works..... Isn't rosparam file="/home/ariel/.ros/extrinsic.yaml" command="load" ns="extrinsic_parameters" in the ... (more)
