You don't appear to source devel/setup.bash anywhere.

You cannot use rosrun (or roslaunch) directly after building your workspace. You have to source devel/setup.bash first.

$ source devel/setup.bash ros-industrial@ros-i-kinetic-vm:~/catkin_ws$ rosrun ros_tutorials_topic iot_sensor_publisher [rosrun] Couldn't find executable named iot_sensor_publisher below /home/ros-industrial/catkin_ws/src/ros_tutorials_topic ros-industrial@ros-i-kinetic-vm:~/catkin_ws$

I did that but didnot solve my issues. Kindly help in this as soon as possible.

But the problem is if i use simple talker and listener.py without custom message. My rosrun will work. If i create custom message and made changes in CMakeLists.txt. It will show the Couldn't find executable error.

Did you use the catkin_make command after the chmod+ command?

Also I don't need to modify your CMakeList for a python node so I would firstly get rid of that. I would then use the chmod + command again just to make sure that your node is executable. After that go to your catkin_ws directory and type the catkin_make. After this in your home directory and use the following command : source ~/type your path to/catkin_ws/devel/setup.bash. Did this solve your problem?

Did you make your file executable?

Yes. I used command chmod +x for making my file executable.

I have also modified my CMakeLists.txt with following command.

catkin_install_python(PROGRAMS scripts/iot_sensor_publisher.py scripts/iot_sensor_subscriber.py DESTINATION ${CATKIN_PACKAGE_BIN_DESTINATION} )

Anyone please help me in this to solve this issue. I can run this code in C++. But in python, I couldn't able to run using ros run.

But when i moved to path ......ros_tutorials_topic/scripts, then in my terminal I use these command to check output. $ cd .....ros_tutorials_topic/scripts scripts $ python talker.py

rosrun ros_tutorials_topic iot_sensor_publisher.py

If this works, I would update the answer!
