ROS2 Custom Message (MSG)

asked 2020-05-08 18:32:14 -0500

To test a custom message in say my_test_package, do I need to create a separate package for this - for example, my_test_package_msg? Can I add msg folder at same level as src folder in my_test_package? If so, how I do modify CMakeLists.txt to include the header file created by custom message?

Thanks, kumar

No, but I highly recommend it. There's some CMake stuff you need to do to properly link it inside the same package that you probably don't want to deal with.

You may, in fact, you must :-)

You may want to review https://index.ros.org/doc/ros2/Tutori... that'll get you squared away.

The link in the answer is broken. I found this page useful: https://index.ros.org/doc/ros2/Tutorials/Custom-ROS2-Interfaces/. Hope it helps!
