Tf package extrapolation to the past

When I lookup for transform like below, (trans, rot) = self.listener.lookupTransform(\ self.robot_link, target_link, rospy.Time(0))

Error pops up:Lookup would require extrapolation into the past.

However, when I change this line to (trans, rot) = self.listener.lookupTransform(\ self.robot_link, target_link, rospy.Time.now())

Error processing request: Lookup would require extrapolation into the future.

How can I solve this problem?

try adding

listener.waitForTransform(self.robot_link, target_link, rospy.Time(), rospy.Duration(4.0))

before lookuptransform

a 4 second timeout may be overkill, but something like 0.2s would be good

It does not work. It looks like my TF package have some delay in updating the transform. Every time when I initialize Rviz, it takes about 15 s to load up the transform.
