Hello,

I am using a differential-drive robot that is equipped with a Lidar, wheel encoders, and IMU. I have created a custom 2D map via SLAM that I would like for the robot to be able to navigate about. I implemented the move_base node using mostly parameters that can be found within the turtlebot3_navigation move_base node. Therefore, I am using dwa_local_planner/DWAPlannerROS as my local planner and navfn/NavfnROS as the global planner. However, I have been receiving a strange error that states the following continously without both the local and global plan paths ever publishing messages nor appearing on Rviz:

[ WARN] [1680629845.933617651]: DWA planner failed to produce path.
[ INFO] [1680629846.031881050]: Got new plan
[ WARN] [1680629846.032451433]: DWA planner failed to produce path.
[ INFO] [1680629846.131903326]: Got new plan
[ WARN] [1680629846.133067383]: DWA planner failed to produce path.

The robot will perform recovery manuevers, but will never find a path even to goals that are clearly open space. My move_base node along with the associated config files will be displayed below:

Also, if this helps at all. I used the rqt_graph node to visualize what topics and nodes interacting with move_base and I noticed that the global planner NavfnROS was not seen. This will also be displayed below:

Any advice or guidance on how I could fix this issue would be greatly appreciated.
