even get notification that package has been built

I don't believe that is true.

We see this in the output you copy-pasted:

[build] Summary: All 0 packages succeeded!

"0 packages" means "no packages".

Yeah, I do have same query but, a notification on top right of my screen shows package built successfully.If no packages are built in real,how can i build them?

atharva_jadhav ( 2018-10-26 06:58:27 -0500 )edit

I believe it only shows that the build was successful. But it would always be successful if it doesn't build any packages.

Thanks for reply, how do i make sure that the package is build?

Yup, compilation needs to be done from the root of the workspace (i.e. ~/catkin_ws and not from the root of a package).

@jayess are you sure about that? You are correct regarding catkin_make, but OP mentions catkin build. I believe you can run catkin build from any directory within a workspace. https://catkin-tools.readthedocs.io/e...

This problem could have been caused by running catkin init more than once, or possibly just once but in the wrong directory.

@jarvisschultz Good point, I didn't catch that the asker was using catkin build I only saw that the answerer was using catkin_make
