Map_server could not open /home/test_map.yaml. [closed]

I'm using a package called Chefbot, which has packages to run a differential drive autonomously using SLAM. However when I run the command: roslaunch chefbot_bringup amcl_demo.launch map_file:=/home/test_map.yaml

I get an error: [ERROR] [1553483186.539747153]: Map_server could not open /home/test_map.yaml. I read previous questions about the same, and for most of them the problem was solved by adding a '/' before the home directory. But I still get this error. I've checked that the map test_map exists. Please help.

Hi,

Can you please edit the question with the output of

Because ideally the path should be something like

/home/user_name/test_map.yaml

The path should be /home/username/map.yaml and not /home/map.yaml.

Also make sure there's a '/' before home.

This should do the job.
