Path following problem with move_base

edit

Hello,

I'm trying to configure move_base for a geo-fencing application to keep the robot out of certain areas. I have a static map with fixed obstacles. Dynamic obstacle detection is not required. I manage to get a global path correctly, the robot starts following it but when it gets close to an obstacle it stops following the path and starts rotating in one place. I did my best to search for answers on this forum and tried plenty of various option but apparently not the right ones. Any ideas what might cause this strange behaviour? Thank you!
