I'm trying to spawn my robot in Gazebo by using the following command:

ros2 run gazebo_ros spawn_entity.py -entity myentity -x 0 -y 0 -z 0 -file WorkSpace/src/urdf_screencast/urdf/urdf_screencast.urdf

In this command, I substituted WorkSpace with the path to the ROS workspace. When I execute this command, after waiting for the service /spawn_entity, it appears to have the error that gives the name to this post.

Make sure you load the libgazebo_ros libraries in Gazebo, e.g., gazebo -s libgazebo_ros_init.so -s libgazebo_ros_factory.so myworld.world

This worked for me

Also worked for me.

I worked with the docker image osrf/ros:galactic-desktop, have got this error. Then executed this command in the second terminal (after source ros_entrypoint.sh), and spawned the robot successfully.

Thanks!
