No --rosdistro set when setup.bash used
I am trying to make new package - following the tutorial:
~/catkin_ws/src$ sudo catkin_create_pkg beginner_tutorials std_msgs roscpp
But I have an error:
catkin_create_pkg: error: argument --rosdistro is required
It's strange, because in .bashrc I have:
source /opt/ros/melodic/setup.bash
source /home/student/catkin_ws/devel/setup.bash
also, when using this commands directly in shell, gives nothing. What's wrong?
Are you sure the environment gets sourced correctly? Adding source /opt/ros/melodic/setup.bash to the bashrc should indeed provide enough information to catkin_create_pkg to deduce the rosdistro. Try running roscore to make sure your ros environment is sourced. Otherwise "catkin_create_pkg --rosdistro melodic package_name dependencies" should work.
