#include "ros/ros.h" #include "ros/message_traits.h" #include "message_filters/subscriber.h" #include "message_filters/cache.h" #include "std_msgs/String.h"

message_filters::Cache<std_msgs::String> cache;

void some_function (const std_msgs::String::ConstPtr &msg)
{
    cache.add(msg);

    std::cout << "Oldest time cached is " << cache.getOldestTime() << std::endl;
    std::cout << "Last time received is " << cache.getLatestTime() << std::endl << std::endl;
}

int main(int argc, char **argv) {
  ros::init(argc, argv, "caching_example");
  ros::NodeHandle nh;

  cache.setCacheSize(100);
  ros::Subscriber sub = nh.subscribe("/chatter", 1, some_function);

  ros::spin();
  return 0;
}

when building through catkin_make I get errors:

I tried so

int main(int argc, char **argv) {
ros::init(argc, argv, "caching_example");
ros::NodeHandle nh;

cache.setCacheSize(100);
message_filters::Subscriber<marker::mkzBlaFeedbackBla> subs (nh,"/test",10);
message_filters ...

message_filters classes can only be used with messages that have Headers (in principle). std_msgs/String doesn't have a header.

See #q60568 and #q197811 for two previous questions about this.


Edit: to work-around this, Cache supports Headerless messages: see the last section of the documentation of message_filters/Cache. Unfortunately:

This is currently only available in Python.


Edit:

the error remains

the text of the message, then compiled into the header

float32 batteryCharge
float32 batteryVoltage
float32 chargeCurrentOfTheBattery
bool routingTaskReady
bool routingTaskDownload
bool readiness
uint8 errorCode

I don't know what you mean by "compiled into the header", but the issue would appear to be that your message doesn't contain a field called header of type std_msgs/Header.

The header field would contain the stamp, which is the timestamp that message_filters needs.

thanks I understand

I have a message that has its header file, I added it and still the error persists

If you've changed your code/setup/build then I would suggest to update your question text to show exactly what you're doing now. Otherwise we cannot help you.

Do not overwrite your current question. Just edit it and append the new information.

@gvdhoorn, added a new version of the code

D0l0RES gravatar image D0l0RES  ( 2018-11-11 23:31:56 -0500 )edit

@gvdhoorn, I created my custom message (msg).it's called mkzBlaFeedbackBla and he msg file contains the packet marker. Then I added my Cmake name to my message and got a header. and then I use it in my code to receive and receive messages.

That sounds all fine, but the problem is with the .msg file. It does not contain a field with the name header and with the type std_msgs/Header. The problem is not with a C++ header file.
