Hi everyone,

Since few days I try to understand and use Nodelet to dynamically load process from a cpp Node. I read lots of questions and answer from this forum and I have a problem. (Btw thanks to the community with clear answers on many questions)

I just copied the code from nodelet_tutorial_math and modified it to republish with custom messages and I can launch my Node using this launch file:

<launch>
  <node pkg="nodelet" type="nodelet" name="nodelet_manager" args="manager" />
  <node pkg="nodelet" type="nodelet" name="test_nodelet" 
    args="load test_nodelet/Add nodelet_manager">
  </node>
</launch>

But when I try to use the following commands:

rosrun nodelet nodelet manager __name:=nodelet_manager 
rosrun nodelet nodelet load test_nodelet/Add nodelet_manager __name:=test_nodelet

I can't run my nodelet because the manager does not find it in the nodelet package:

[ERROR] [1490717511.798024359]: Failed to load nodelet [/nodelet_test] of type [test_nodelet/Add] even after refreshing the cache: According to the loaded plugin descriptions the class test_nodelet/Add with base class type nodelet::Nodelet does not exist.

My CMakeList is the following one:

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8.3)
project(test_nodelet)

add_definitions(-std=c++11)


find_package(catkin REQUIRED COMPONENTS nodelet roscpp std_msgs)

include_directories(${catkin_INCLUDE_DIRS})

catkin_package(
  LIBRARIES nodelet_test
  CATKIN_DEPENDS nodelet roscpp std_msgs
)

add_library(nodelet_test src/test_nodelet.cpp)
target_link_libraries(nodelet_test ${catkin_LIBRARIES})
if(catkin_EXPORTED_LIBRARIES)
  add_dependencies(nodelet_test ${catkin_EXPORTED_LIBRARIES})
endif()

install(TARGETS nodelet_test
  ARCHIVE DESTINATION ${CATKIN_PACKAGE_LIB_DESTINATION}
  LIBRARY DESTINATION ${CATKIN_PACKAGE_LIB_DESTINATION}
  RUNTIME DESTINATION ${CATKIN_PACKAGE_BIN_DESTINATION})

install(FILES nodelet_test.xml 
DESTINATION ${CATKIN_PACKAGE_SHARE_DESTINATION})

and here is my nodelet_test.xml:

<library path="lib/libnodelet_test">
  <class name="test_nodelet/Add" 
         type="test_nodelet::Add" 
         base_class_type="nodelet::Nodelet ...

According to the error message from your launch, this seems to be similar to this one where nodelet xml definition was the fix.
