Dear Ros Users, I am trying to use moveIt! but, when launching RViz, this is the error that I get:

Unable to connect to move_group action server 'pickup' within allotted time (30s)

Actually, "pickup" is not in my list, as stated when move_group is launched:

Loading 'move_group/MoveGroupCartesianPathService'...
Loading 'move_group/MoveGroupExecuteService'...
Loading 'move_group/MoveGroupKinematicsService'...
Loading 'move_group/MoveGroupMoveAction'...
Loading 'move_group/MoveGroupPlanService'...
Loading 'move_group/MoveGroupQueryPlannersService'...
Loading 'move_group/MoveGroupStateValidationService'...
Loading 'move_group/MoveGroupGetPlanningSceneService'...
Loading 'move_group/ApplyPlanningSceneService'...
Loading 'move_group/ClearOctomapService'...

MoveGroup using:
- CartesianPathService
- ExecutePathService
- KinematicsService
- MoveAction
- MotionPlanService
- QueryPlannersService
- StateValidationService
- GetPlanningSceneService
- ApplyPlanningSceneService
- ClearOctomapService

Thank you for your support!

rosparam get /move_group/capabilities give me this result:

move_group/MoveGroupCartesianPathService move_group/MoveGroupExecuteService move_group/MoveGroupKinematicsService move_group/MoveGroupMoveAction move_group/MoveGroupPlanService

I tried also:
rosparam get / | grep Pick
rosparam get / | grep ick

and results are empty

The pick capability is provided by moveit_ros/manipulation and is called move_group/MoveGroupPickPlaceAction. The MoveGroupInterface used by RViz tries to connect to this capability too, in case you want to use the pick functions.

If you intentionally did not load the capability, then you should simply ignore the warning. It is not a problem as long as you don't try to use the pick functions.

Actually, it becomes a problem since RViz seems stuck waiting for this function, and no planning is allowed

Ah, right, this is a big problem indeed. We do not handle this in the code at the moment, so the only way to fix this on your end it so add the PickPlaceAction capability.

Feel free to file an issue in the project repository or propose a patch. The situation there could definitely be improved...

I am sorry that this is becoming a sort of "chat", but the reason for remove PickPlaceAction is related to the error:

Exception while loading move_group capability 'move_group/MoveGroupPickPlaceAction': Failed to load library /opt/ros/indigo/lib/libmoveit_move_group_pick_place_capability.so

The exception is a different problem/bug again. Please decide on resolving at least one of them and feel free to open an issue at the project repository for that and/or join the IRC channel to discuss this there. At least either way forward leaves the scope of answers.ros.org in my opinion.

A "simple" sudo apt-get install ros-indigo-moveit* solved it. Thank you for the support
