ROS2 Dashing service `get_entity_state` is missing

I am using ROS2 Dashing. There, I launched the following commands:

1) gazebo --verbose world -s libgazebo_ros_factory.so

I got the following answer:

2) ros2 service call /spawn_entity 'gazebo_msgs/SpawnEntity' '{name: "urdf_ball", xml: "<?xml version=\"1.0\" ?><robot name=\"will_be_ignored\"><link name=\"link\"><visual><geometry><sphere radius=\"1.0\"/></geometry></visual><inertial><mass value=\"1\"/><inertia ixx=\"1\" ixy=\"0.0\" ixz=\"0.0\" iyy=\"1\" iyz=\"0.0\" izz=\"1\"/></inertial></link></robot>"}'

I copied it from gazebo_ros_pkgs.

I got the responce

response:
gazebo_msgs.srv.SpawnEntity_Response(success=True, status_message='SpawnEntity: Successfully spawned entity [urdf_ball]')

3) ros2 service list

And I received the following responce

/delete_entity
/gazebo/describe_parameters
/gazebo/get_parameter_types
/gazebo/get_parameters
/gazebo/list_parameters
/gazebo/set_parameters
/gazebo/set_parameters_atomically

/robot_state_publisher/get_parameters
/robot_state_publisher/list_parameters
/robot_state_publisher/set_parameters
/robot_state_publisher/set_parameters_atomically
/spawn_entity

4) Next I want to do but can not do the following

ros2 service call / get_entity_state gazebo_msgs/GetEntityState '{name: urdf_ball, reference_frame: world}'

My question is: Why the service get_entity_state is missing?

The get_entity_state service is provided by the libgazebo_ros_state.so plugin. Did you load that?

Here's an example on how to load it from your SDF world.

There isn't a way to load that plugin from a launch file yet, see this issue.

Here's more information on entity states on Gazebo + ROS 2.
