actionlib callback based SimpleActionClient bind error

Hi folks,

so today I decided to write a callback based SimpleActionClient to get notified whenever a goal has finished. I found this tutorial, but following the instructions will still give me errors. Please note: Using the SimpleActionClient the "normal" way works fine for me, but I need to change it to be callback based.

So basically, I have a class MyNamespace::MyClass. Then, when I want to send a goal, I use

client.sendGoal(goal, boost::bind(&MyNamespace::MyClass::doneCb, this, _1, _2));

With the doneCb class defined like in the tutorial:

void doneCb(const actionlib::SimpleClientGoalState& state, const MyMessageActionResultConstPtr &result);

The error occurs at the line there I send the goal, it says, the template argument deduction/substitution failed.

Here some excerpt of the infinite error messages I get:

included from ...required from...stuff...
/usr/include/boost/bind/bind.hpp:392: error: no match for call to '(boost::_mfi::mf2<void, MyNamespace::MyClass, const actionlib::SimpleClientGoalState&, const boost::shared_ptr<const MyMessageActionResult_<std::allocator<void> > >&>) (MyNamespace::MyClass*&, const actionlib::SimpleClientGoalState&, const boost::shared_ptr<const MyMessageResult_<std::allocator<void> > >&)'
     unwrapper<F>::unwrap(f, 0)(a[base_type::a1_], a[base_type::a2_], a[base_type::a3_]);
                              ^
included from ... required from... stuff...
/usr/include/boost/bind/mem_fn_template.hpp:299: note:   no known conversion for argument 1 from 'MyNamespace::MyClass*' to 'MyNamespace::MyClass&'

I don't get what I did wrong, as I followed the example and tried multiple different cases of including and excluding the activeCb and feedbackCb, it all ends in similar errors.

Thank you for your support,

Marcel

Edit: more code and full error message:

More Code:

namespace(MyNamespace) {
class MyClass {
public:
MyClass () : client("action_name", true) { ... }
....
functionThatSendsGoal() {
MyMessageGoal goal;
// fill goal message, do stuff unrelated to client

client.sendGoal(goal, boost::bind(&MyNamespace::MyClass::doneCb, this, _1, _2)); //compile error occurs here return; } doneCb(const actionlib::SimpleClientGoalState& state, const MyMessageActionResultConstPtr &result) { //do stuff return; } protected: actionlib::SimpleActionClient<mymessage> client; ... };

MyMessage is actually a control_msgs::FollowJointTrajectory message.

Full Error Message, for those who can actually understand it:

Can you post more of your actual code (and errors) rather than just snippets? I suspect something you've cut would be helpful...

Hi kramer, I updated my post and added some more code and the full error message.I do not think, that more code would help, as it all happens at the line where I try to send my goal. But maybe someone can say what exactly is wrong by understanding these error messages...

I asked because I think you have transcription errors. For instance, in doneCb, 2nd parameter is const MyMessageConstPtr &result, but I think it needs to be const MyMessageResultConstPtr &result. Actual code is helpful; simplified code (often) is not.

As I'm sure you realize, the original (piece of the) error message you posted is helpful and where I'd start -- you're attempting to use a MyNamespace::MyClass* where it should be a MyNamespace::MyClass&.

Thanks to your comment, I figured it out:

I was using a

const MyMessageActionResultConstPtr &result

instead of

const MyMessageResultConstPtr &result

This at least got me rid of the previous compile error.

Well, that's...unexpected. But I'm glad to have helped.
