Hi everybody, imaging you have two messages defined in the same package my_package_msgs and one of them is dependent on the other:

For instance:

  • foo.msg:
    • geometry_msgs/Point position
  • array_of_foo.msg
    • my_package_msgs/foo[] foo_array

When the package is compiled this error appears:

Could not find messages which 
'/home/user/../my_package_msgs/msg/array_of_foo.msg'
depends on. Did you forget to specify generate_messages(DEPENDENCIES ...)?

Thx.

there is probably something wrong with your CMakeLists.txt. Please post the relevant parts.

I think it should work normally... Look for example at this package and see if you are missing something. Here for example JointVelocities.msg depends on JointValue.msg.

Let me know if it works, otherwise please post the CMakeLists.txt you are using.

Thanks for the answer and comment. I've just solved it.

The CMakeLists.txt was ok. It was a bad file naming due to a capital letter, sorry :(
