I think the answer is in an issue linked below, and that catkin tools isn't ready for noetic yet, and I'll have to test and upgrade my packages using catkin_make.

sudo apt install python3-catkin-tools
...
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 python3-catkin-tools : Depends: python3-trollius but it is not installable

Then:

sudo apt install python3-trollius
...
E: Package 'python3-trollius' has no installation candidate

Try pip instead:

sudo pip3 install -U catkin_tools

The github issue mentions trollius should be replaced by asyncio, so seeing trollius above isn't encouraging.

~/catkin_ws$ catkin build
Traceback (most recent call last):

That leads to: https://github.com/catkin/catkin_tool... , then to https://github.com/catkin/catkin_tool...

Then what I recommend in my comment should work for you as well.

I'll convert it to an answer.

Edit: as of 2020-12-25, it may be easier to make sure you have the ROS package repositories configured (the same ones you use to install ROS itself), and then:

sudo apt install python3-catkin-tools python3-osrf-pycommon

The osrf-pycommon package is a dependency, but not in the Debian control file, hence it doesn't get installed automatically.

Note: this is still a work-around of sorts, as the main problem has not been addressed yet.

Original answer: are you trying to do this on Ubuntu Focal or Bionic? If you "only" have Python 3, then I believe catkin/catkin_tools#597 should not matter: on Focal, catkin_tools would be running using Python 3, so that would be the same interpreter as it should use in the workspace itself. The issue describes a situation where there is a difference between the interpreter running catkin_tools vs the interpreter used in the workspace.

As to Trollius: there just hasn't been a release yet of catkin_tools with the PRs integrated which remove the dependency.

I'd suggest to try and install catkin_tools using pip, but from the repository (so not a released version):

pip3 install --user git+https://github.com/catkin/catkin_tools.git

This works for me.

Note: be sure to remove this work-around after a new release of catkin_tools has been cut. Otherwise you will run into issues later.

It looks like the pip github install is no longer needed

pip3 uninstall catkin_tools
sudo apt install python3-catkin-tools
catkin build

This was recently fixed with the release of 0.7.0 afaik.

gvdhoorn ( 2020-06-06 09:52:59 -0500 )edit

Looks like, as of today, there is still work going on to get 0.7.0 fully working in python3 IF you would like to install with sudo apt install python3-catkin-tools. That is, I am experiencing 'osrf-pycommon>0.1.1' distribution was not found if I install with sudo apt install python3-catkin-tools and try to run any catkincommands. See https://github.com/catkin/catkin_tool...

So as of today, seems working solution is still:

pip3 install --user git+https://github.com/catkin/catkin_tools.git

this worked for me: sudo apt-get install python3-osrf-pycommon python3-catkin-toolscredits: based on mintar comment on : https://github.com/catkin/catkin_tool...

Thanks, this worked for me pip3 install --user git+https://github.com/catkin/catkin_... in ROS Noetic

Thanks, catkin build works for me after sudo apt install python3-catkin-tools python3-osrf-pycommon in ROS Noetic with Ubuntu 20.04

OrnellaT ( 2021-03-29 04:50:46 -0500 )edit

I installed catkin-tools with sudo apt install python3-catkin-tools python3-osrf-pycommon and after that catkin build works fine for me. When I do source devel/setup.bash my workspace is not added to ROS_PACKAGE_PATH, while if a I do the same with a workspace build through catkin_make everything it work fine. Does someone had the same issue?
