I am following the rrbot gazebo tutorial and am trying to view the rrbot in gazebo.

After running

roslaunch rrbot_gazebo rrbot_world.launch

The error i receive

Resource not found: xacro ROS path [0]=/opt/ros/noetic/share/ros ROS path [1]=/home/brendan/catkin_ws/src ROS path [2]=/opt/ros/noetic/share The traceback for the exception was written to the log file

I have just git cloned and not messed with any of the files, and after checking the xacro file is there

Is xacro installed? sudo apt install ros-noetic-xacro? See also #q223053

I would probably add #q252478.

Cloning is not sufficient.

And @pregnantghettoteen, could you please tell us whether you've solved #q362959? Your previous question reads somewhat like the same problem.

fixed the xacro issue thanks to the sudo apt install ros-noetic-xacro command. Thank you mgruhler but I am having an issue with getting Waiting for service /gazebo/spawn_urdf_model. Don't know why this is the case.

and @gvdhoorn I followed your step by step guide for git cloning but still have the issue of Waiting for service /gazebo/spawn_urdf_model.
