I use catkin_make to build a package. It works . I then proceed to source the generated setup file in order to add my workspace to my ROS environment. (. ~/catkin_ws/devel/setup.bash). Using rospack I can display the dependecies of the package. But then when I run roscore and look again for package (or use rosrun) I get and error that there is no such package. . Did I miss a step?
I'm assuming that when you started roscore you then created a new terminal window to execute the rosrun command. You need to source the setup.bash file for you package in every terminal you open (it only effects the terminal is sourced in)
If you missed this step then it would explain the problem you're having. Hope this helps.
That's it! Thank you! But I am wondering why it does not work since I checked my .bashrc file and I found the line : source /opt/ros/kinetic/setup.bash so I assumed it should apply to all terminals and it is not required to write this command every time I am using a new terminal
What jayess just said. You need to source the setup.bash files for ros as a whole and your package for it to work. If you've got one workspace then put it in .bash and save yourself a lot of typing!
@PeteBlackerThe3rd: what do you mean exactly with:
You need to source the setup.bash files for ros as a whole and your package for it to work.
