Revision history [back]

The problem was that the Dockerfile set the ROS_PACKAGE_PATH env variable for build time but it got reset during run time. I solved this by putting a script that set ROS_PACKAGE_PATH inside the container and calling it in the dockerfile using a RUN command before running rosmake through the Dockerfile itself. That worked beautifully.
