Dear List,

Since the last update of indigo (juli 2017) I am getting error messages in move_group with moveit.

For example with moveit-commander, after each "go up" or so, there are 4 lines with

[ERROR] [1499944106.195095905]: Found empty JointState message

Moveit seems to work however. It did NOT occur before the last update, and it also occurs in the kinetic version.

Anything I can do?

Regards, Sietse

NB: in order for errors to show up, you need to format them as preformatted text. Use the button with 101010 on it for that.

+1 Observing same issue across three different robots in Kinetic, does not affect the operation for any of them.

I noticed that too, but did not find the time to debug it yet. This is the relevant commit: https://github.com/ros-planning/movei...

To the best of my current knowledge the error message does not change any behavior of the node though, but I'm not 100% sure.

Apparently some code in the PlanAndExecute pipeline uses the RobotStateMsg -> RobotState conversion tools without checking whether the message is actually filled in.

Anything I can do?

You could track down when and where this happens and file an issue on the github project. That would (hopefully) help a lot.

--- EDIT ---

By now, this should be fixed upstream. See https://github.com/ros-planning/movei... .

As discussed before, this appears to be a regression. I opened a issue as suggested: https://github.com/ros-planning/movei...
