Planning error with path constrains

edit

I'm using Moveit (0.6.15-Alpha) in ROS Indigo to control an arm. The planning goes well untill I try to plan a new position which has some path constrains (orientation and position on two axis of the end effector).

The code looks like this:

    // Orientation constrain adding
    moveit_msgs::Constraints flip_constrains;
    moveit_msgs::OrientationConstraint flip_orientation;
    flip_orientation.link_name = eef;
    flip_orientation.header.frame_id = base_reference;
    flip_orientation.orientation = move_group_->getCurrentPose().pose.orientation;              
    flip_orientation.absolute_x_axis_tolerance = 0.15;
    flip_orientation.absolute_y_axis_tolerance = 0.15;
    flip_orientation.absolute_z_axis_tolerance = 0.15;
    flip_orientation.weight = 0.7;
    flip_constrains.orientation_constraints.push_back(flip_orientation);
    // Position constrain adding
    moveit_msgs::PositionConstraint flip_position;
    flip_position.link_name = eef;
    flip_position.header.frame_id = base_reference;
    flip_position.target_point_offset.x = 0; //target.position.x;
    flip_position.target_point_offset.y = target.position.y;
    flip_position.target_point_offset.z = target.position.z;
    flip_position.weight = 1.0;
    flip_constrains.position_constraints.push_back(flip_position);
    move_group_->setPathConstraints(flip_constrains);
    target.position.x = req.distance;
    target.orientation = move_group_->getCurrentPose().pose.orientation;

    move_group_->setPoseTarget(target);
move_group_->setStartState(*move_group_->getCurrentState());

bool success = move_group_->plan(move_plan);
ROS_INFO("Visualizing plan 1 (pose goal) %s", success ? "" : "FAILED");
sleep(5.0);
if (success) {
    move_group_->move(); //execute(move_plan);
} else {
    ROS_ERROR(
            "Error while planning position of arm, no move command was sent!\n");
    return false;
}
sleep(2.0);

There are to outcomes of this code. The most crucial is when moveit exits with error:

Or moveit throws an unmet constrain error where the eef string is the camera_front:
