Hello guys,

I have recorded a rosbag during my last experiment and I want to replay it. At the same time I want to run an implemented algorithm in python in order to compare the results with the results of the previous algorithm have already been computed based on the rosbag mentioned above.

However, when I run both rosbag play my_rosbag.bag and rosrun script.py I get the following error :

 resp = get_plan(srv.start, srv.goal, srv.tolerance)
  File "/opt/ros/kinetic/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/rospy/impl/tcpros_service.py", line 435, in __call__
    return self.call(*args, **kwds)
  File "/opt/ros/kinetic/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/rospy/impl/tcpros_service.py", line 495, in call
    service_uri = self._get_service_uri(request)
  File "/opt/ros/kinetic/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/rospy/impl/tcpros_service.py", line 463, in _get_service_uri
    raise ServiceException("service [%s] unavailable"%self.resolved_name)
rospy.service.ServiceException: service [/move_base/GlobalPlanner/plan] unavailable

Inside the python script there is a path calculation using GetPlan service. If I remove it, the algorithm runs effectively. But I want to take it into account without failing.

Has anyone ever experienced a similar situation to that ?

rosbag does not (re)create service servers. If you don't start move_base, the plan service will not be available, hence the error.

Thanks for the answer. It does make sense, but I think I am missing something. Do I have to run an existing launch file related to move_base (such as move_base.launch) in an extra terminal alongside rosbag and script.py or create a new specific launch file ?
