I first followed the tutorials of moveit and everything was fine. I could run the demo.launch for pr2. Then I replaced src folder with my own and tried to compile it. After solved some problems like can't find urdfdomConfig.cmake, now I don't know how to solve this problem.

Here is my result for catkin_make:

I checked some similar problems but still don't know how to solve it. I found that someone said I can move the noncatkin packages out and build a second workspace for it to install it. But I don't know what package is noncatkin package. I also want to know whether there is difference if I change to use catkin_make_isolated? I compiled successfully by catkin_make_isolated but when I tried to launch demo.launch for pr2, my rviz always stopped to work suddenly.

Hi,

 I also encountered the same problem, have you solve the problem? Can you share your solution?

chengwei ( 2017-05-22 20:50:54 -0600 )edit

At least now I found that is due to you add package like ompl in your workspace and try to catkin_make the whole workspace. You can find tutorial about how to install source ompl library with moveit. Actually they use catkin build that I just know is similar to catkin_make isolated.

when I tried to launch demo.launch for pr2, my rviz always stopped to work suddenly.

Although that sounds like a separate issue, please at least provide the system output of it if you think it's related to what you're originally asking.

It is because of catkin_isolated, I think. I also encountered the same problem, but I solve easy way(not good way) I clear the isolated packages (bcoz, these packages are not use at that time) again I do catkin_make. So, I don't know about that case "how to solve" . I can say only cause of that error is by isolated_catkin.

In my case, using an old docker container caused this issue. Simply running

apt-get update && apt-get upgrade -y

fixed the issue

I have this same problem. No clue WHICH packages are "non-catkin". Looks like many other people have had this SAME PROBLEM over the years. Why hasn't this bug been fixed??

What finally worked (after two days of cargo-cult "programming") was eliminating the build/devel/install folders, doing catkin_make_isolated --install (in the catkin_ws folder), then source devel_isolated/setup.bash.

This is not a bug. The workspace just really contains non-Catkin packages, and only catkin_make_isolated and catkin_tools can build those workspaces.

There is nothing to fix.

@gvdhoom: The bug is that there's no clue how to fix this problem; look at all the people who have been stuck on this over the years. At a minimum, the framework should LIST the non-Catkin packages. Even better would be to automatically do a make_isolated in this situation.

Alan8 ( 2019-07-17 13:23:21 -0600 )edit

We're getting into semantics here, but what you describe is not a bug. It's not something that is broken or doesn't work as intended.

You're essentially posting an enhancement request. It's a legitimate one, but this is not the place to do it. Might be better to post it over at ros/catkin (but with the focus on colcon these days it's probably going to require a PR to get it in).

Even better would be to automatically do a make_isolated in this situation.

catkin_make_isolated and catkin_make are separate tools. It makes little sense to me to have one call the other.

gvdhoorn ( 2019-07-17 13:41:58 -0600 )edit

Ok, an enhancement request. But from the user's point of view, it's indistinguishable from a bug; the user said "make" and the system didn't make. The fact that the make process is split between two tools is an implementation detail. It seems to me that a more user-friendly approach would be one tool that handled both situations.

Alan8 ( 2019-07-17 13:58:16 -0600 )edit

the user said "make" and the system didn't make.

if you run make on non-Makefile projects, make is also going to complain. We don't call that a bug, but logical behaviour. It's the same with catkin_make and heterogeneous workspaces.

But it doesn't matter: unless an enhancement request is posted on the correct tracker, and a PR submitted, this will not change.

ROS is a community project. Without contributions from the community, things will either not change, or very slowly. There's no point in complaining about something on ROS Answers.
