Error: package 'parser' not found
Hi, I'm trying to follow http://wiki.ros.org/urdf/Tutorials/Pa... after having completed all of the introductory tutorials.
I think I may not be following some of the shorthand in this tutorial correctly. I believe I have created the parser.cpp file and the URDF file in the correct locations within ~/catkin_ws/src/testbot_description/.
At the end of the tutorial it says "build your package and run it". I navigate to ~/catkin_ws/src/ and run catkin_make. This appears successful because the results end with
[100%] Built target parser
But should I be seeing a new file somewhere called "parser"? I don't see anything except the original parser.cpp file. Now I can't understand the very last tutorial instruction. It says:
$ .<path>/parser <path>my_robot.urdf
# ./devel/lib/robot_description/parser /src/robot_description/urdf/my_robot.urdf (for example)
I've tried navigating to ~/catkin_ws/src/testbot_description and entering:
./src/parser /urdf/my_robot.urdf
But this returns:
bash: ./src/parser: No such file or directory
The following question appears to ask the same question, but the answer to the last step is not included: http://answers.ros.org/question/14868...
That suggests I should be calling rosrun <PKG> <NAME> instead of the approach used in the tutorial. I think that means I should be calling rosrun parser my_robot.urdf or maybe rosrun parser /urdf/my_robot.urdf but running either of those still gives me:
[rospack] Error: package 'parser' not found
I think maybe I just don't have the syntax correct for this last step, but I can't figure it out from looking at the tutorial, that other question, or the rosrun documentation. Any pointers? Thank you!
