I'm using ROS Melodic and Gazebo 9.9.0.

I'm modifying an example that use two parameters in wheel macro, but when I add a third one, pX, it doesn't work.

I have run the following command to test the xacro file:

rosrun xacro xacro.py mybot.xacro

With the following result:

Invalid parameter "pX"
when instantiating macro: wheel (/home/user1/catkinws/src/navodom_description/urdf/macros.xacro)
in file: mybot.xacro

I have four xacro files:

1. mybot.xacro (the main one).
2. macros.xacro (file with all the macros).
3. materials.xacro (file with the materials).
   1. mybot.gazebo (file with gazebo related stuff).

You can find all of these files on Github.

This is the wheel macro (in macros.xacro file).

  <xacro:macro name="wheel" params="lr pX tY">
    <link name="${lr}_wheel">
      <collision>
        <origin xyz="0 0 0" rpy="0 ${PI/2} ${PI/2}" />
        <geometry>
          <cylinder length="${wheelWidth}" radius="${wheelRadius}"/>
        </geometry>
      </collision>

      <visual>
        <origin xyz="0 0 0" rpy="0 ${PI/2} ${PI/2}" />
        <geometry>
          <cylinder length="${wheelWidth}" radius="${wheelRadius}"/>
        </geometry>
        <material name="black"/>
      </visual>

      <inertial>
        <origin xyz="0 0 0" rpy="0 ${PI/2} ${PI/2}" />
        <mass value="${wheelMass}"/>
        <cylinder_inertia m="${wheelMass}" r="${wheelRadius}" h="${wheelWidth}"/>
      </inertial>
    </link>

    <!-- Transmission is important to link the joints and the controller -->
    <transmission name="${lr}_trans">

        <hardwareInterface>hardware_interface/EffortJointInterface</hardwareInterface>
        <mechanicalReduction>10</mechanicalReduction>
      </actuator>
    </transmission>

  </xacro:macro>

If I called, from mybot.xacro, with this command:

<wheel lr="left_rear" tY="1"/>

It doesn't throw any error.

But, I called with this one:

<wheel lr="left_rear" pX="1" tY="1"/>

I get the previous error.

What am I doing wrong?
