ROS console macros not printing anything.

edit

Hi,

I am trying to print something using the ROS_* macros for printing to console but it doesn't work for some reason. Below is a sample of the code -

   if(T_WS_vec.size() > 0) {
        std::cout << "April Tag(s) detected \n";
    }else{
        ROS_ERROR("%s","No april Tag detected ..");
   }

I am certain the else statement is being entered (since regular std::cout in the else statement works ). Regardless, the macros in other parts of the code are also not working.

I am just using catkin_make ( not using catkin_make -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release) and I have included both the headers -

#include <ros/ros.h>
#include <ros/console.h>
