Hi, I've defined a custom message as described below.

Obstacle.msg:

geometry_msgs/Point32 polygon
float32 size_uncertainty
uint8 obstacle_class

..and the msg and associated publisher that uses it compiles just fine.

When I go to execute the node, the wheels fall off:

$ ros2 run obstacle_publisher obstacle_publisher
    /home/paul/code/eclipse_ws/ROS2/install/obstacle_publisher/lib/obstacle_publisher/obstacle_publisher: symbol lookup error: 
    /home/paul/code/eclipse_ws/ROS2/install/obstacle_msgs/lib/libobstacle_msgs__rosidl_typesupport_fastrtps_cpp.so: 
    undefined symbol: _ZN13geometry_msgs3msg24typesupport_fastrtps_cpp27max_serialized_size_Point32ERbm

I have std_msgs and geometry_msgs set with depend in the package.xml of both the package that creates the message (obstacle_msgs) and the package that uses the message (obstacle_publisher).

Any pointers would be appreciated.

Sincerely, Paul.

Without seeing the code it is hard to tell for sure.

But my guess is that your obstacle_msgs package does not list the dependencies properly when generating the messages.

When invoking rosidl_generate_interfaces in CMake, the message dependencies need to be specified using the DEPENDENCIES argument.

rosidl_generate_interfaces(${PROJECT_NAME}
  ${my_msg_files}
  ${my_srv_files}
  DEPENDENCIES geometry_msgs my_custom_msgs
)

For example, here is the line used in the sensor_msgspackage: https://github.com/ros2/common_interf...

Thank you, That was it =). I'd forgotten to include the msg dependencies.

Sincerely, Paul.

Thank you, it worked I used sensor_msgs to build a custom message adding dependencies worked for me..

rosidl_generate_interfaces(${PROJECT_NAME}
"msg/PixyVector.msg"
DEPENDENCIES sensor_msgs )

Thanks for this. This is unfortunately not mentioned in https://docs.ros.org/en/foxy/Tutorial... . Where can I report this?

Can't believe they missed this in the tutorial. Anyone know and can point me to how to edit the tutorials?

This is still not documented on the humble tutorials. I created an issue here: https://github.com/ros2/rosidl/issues...
