Revision history [back]

I had the same problem and it happened because i didnt make the general colcon build on the main folder. I was trying to compile and run a specific project directly with colcon build --packages-up-to <name_pkg> and ros2 run <pkg_name> <node_name> without having the general files created when you use colcon build (you only have to do this once).
