rospack cannot find package every-time terminal restarted

I have two packages one name test_package (built first) and one name cylinder(later). I found that every time I start a new terminal or restart the terminal, I have to source the setup.bash again for cylinder package otherwise it is not found. For every terminal, I need to source before running rosrun cylinder xxx. The test_package worked fine. I wonder if is there a solution, shall I just try rebuild this package again, I don't know whether rebuilding work or not though... Has anyone else experienced this before?

This is exactly what we'd expect.

If you want the cylinder package to always be available you'll need to add a line into your .bashrc file to source it for you. .bashrc is located in your home folder and you'll want to add a line like the one below but update the path to match where your cylinder package is:

source /home/your_user/cylinder_workspace/devel/setup.bash

Hope this helps.
