ERROR: cannot launch node of type : can't locate node in package
I have installed Ubuntu 18 04 and ROS melodic. I have installed moveit using these instructions: https://ros-planning.github.io/moveit_tutorials/doc/move_group_interface/move_group_interface_tutorial.html#getting-started
Te section i have linked instructs the following:
Open two shells. In the first shell start RViz and wait for everything to finish loading:
roslaunch panda_moveit_config demo.launch
In the second shell, run the launch file:
roslaunch moveit_tutorials move_group_interface_tutorial.launch
The second instruction failed with:
ERROR: cannot launch node of type [moveit_tutorials/move_group_interface_tutorial]: can't locate node [move_group_interface_tutorial] in package [moveit_tutorials]
If i do :
rosrun moveit_tutorials
and tab for autocomplete i don't see the 'movegroupinterface_tutorial node'.
I get:
build_locally.sh collision_scene_example.py move_group_python_interface_tutorial.py
I ran:
locate move_group_interface_tutorial
here is the output:

I have 2 workspaces. I created this workspace specifically for moveit!.
here is the text i ahve added to my .bashrc
# added by A Wilson to .bashrc file
source /opt/ros/melodic/setup.bash

I worked around this by adding a symbolic link to the file location in the devel directory

You seem to be sourceing multiple workspaces. Unless those workspaces are overlays (and in the order listed in your .bashrc that you show, that is not going to work.
All Catkin workspaces are stand-alone and you can only have a single one active at a time.
If you need multiple workspaces, ..

.. and want/need packages from all of those, look into workspace overlaying.
Making symlinks between workspaces is not a good idea.

Thanks. Although im sure you are right i dont thibk that is why i have the problem. I have 2 workspaces, catkin_ws and ws_moveit. I did try removing catkin_ws and only sourcing ws_moveit (the one with issue). This made no difference till i created the symbolic link.

Hey Jan, what exactly is a symbolic link and where did you add it to?
Asked by macrot51 on 2019-08-14 04:09:09 UTC
i have the same problem i fixed it by removing the workspace that containing the same node

I have a similar constellation: ROS Melodic and Ubuntu 18.04 and trying to run a YDLidar X2. When I do the command: "roslaunch ydlidar_ros_driver X2.launch" I get these error message.
Therefore I did "roslaunch-logs": roslaunch][INFO] 2020-12-10 11:21:10,246: Checking log directory for disk usage. This may take a while.

That is not the whole logfile, but I real don't know where the ERROR occures from.

Did anyone has an idea how to find a solution ? I real appreciate your answers.
