I have a ROS node that I wanted to try out. It is the very first tutorial and I have the ROS Noetic on my Ubuntu 20.04 machine. I implemented a simple talker and listener nodes, have a launch file that I will use to run them. But when I tried to do the following, I ran into some strange bash error:

joesan@joesan-InfinityBook-S-14-v5:~/Projects/Private/ros-projects/ros_ws$ source devel/setup.bash 
bash: cd: too many arguments

joesan@joesan-InfinityBook-S-14-v5:~/Projects/Private/ros-projects/ros_ws$

I do not understand how this error is being thrown?

I have seen this once before. can you try removeing your build and devel folders and attempt to build again? From what I remember, that solved the issue
