Hi there,

i've already looked into the roswiki and answers. Unfortunately answer.ros search gave me quite a lot of finding for Error and Service... :)

my question is related to failed service calls. Usually a service call returne true. But what if a service call fails. For instance the parameters sent where not valid or some function within the service throws an error.

In this case i would just return a boolean false within the service call and if i call this service by "rosservice call /service param1 param2" in the shell i get and error message:

ERROR: service [/service] responded with an error:

However I haven't seen any way to add an message to failed service call? Is there any way to do this?

cheers Mimax

Roscpp doesn't support passing error messages to the caller as far as I know. If that's possible for you, you can change the service definition to include an error code in the result. Then, instead of returning false from the service callback, you can fill in the error code and return true.

When using rospy, you can raise a ServiceException which contains an error message. That message is passed to a rospy client. You can find more information on that here.

thanks for your answer. Unfortunately i'm using cpp. I could modify my return definitons... I also have thought about it.. but i don't like it since the service would return as true and i actually wanted to use a standardizes way of returning the error. do you know if there are any plans to

implement the ServiceException within roscpp? Well i could write a pythonbased service wrapper for my roscpp services ;)......

Not as far as I know, but you could file a feature request ticket at https://code.ros.org/trac/ros/

Allright, i'll wait for some days and see whether there is any other input here and file a request.

Throw an exception inside your service callback function.

bool setCameraAttr(custom_msgs::CamSetAttrRequest &req, custom_msgs::CamSetAttrResponse &rsp) {
    throw std::runtime_error("this will show up"); 
}

->

ERROR: service [/host/ir/set_camera_attr] responded with an error: this will show up

@Mimax I had the same issue where i was getting:

ERROR: service [/service] responded with an error: b''

I found it was because i didn't have

return true;

at the end of my service function.

Also make sure you are setting

res.<service_response> = true;

in your service function otherwise your service will return "False" even when it has succeeded
