Hi, I am new to ROS and trying to connect MoveIt with Gazebo simulation for a scara robot. I am facing with this particular error. I have created the urdf file and tuned all the joints accordingly.

RLException: unused args [execution_type] for include of [/home/mrj/catkin_ws/src/scara_moveit_config/launch/scara_moveit_controller_manager.launch.xml] The traceback for the exception was written to the log file

Below is my scara_moveit_controller_manager.launch.xml file

<launch>
  <rosparam file="$(find scara_moveit_config)/config/controllers.yaml"/>
  <param name="use_controller_manager" value="false"/>
  <param name="trajectory_execution/execution_duration_monitoring" value="false"/>
  <param name="moveit_controller_manager" value="moveit_simple_controller_manager/MoveItSimpleControllerManager"/>
</launch>

Controllers.yaml

controller list:
  - name: arm_controller
    action_ns: follow_joint_trajectory
    type: FollowJointTrajectory
    joints:
      - base_link_link_01
      - link_01_link_02
      - link_02_link_03

  - name: gripper_controller
    action_ns: follow_joint_trajectory
    type: FollowJointTrajectory
    joints:
      - link_03_link_04 </launch>

I had created a joints_names.yaml file to load in the parameter server

controller_joint_names: [base_link_link_01,link_01_link_02,link_02_link_03,link_03_link_04]

And this is the main planning_execution file I am running

<launch>
    <rosparam command="load" file="$(find scara_moveit_config)/config/joint_names.yaml"/>

    <include file="$(find scara_moveit_config)/launch/planning_context.launch">
        <arg name="load_robot_description" value="true"/>
    </include>

    <node name="joint_state_publisher" pkg="joint_state_publisher" type="joint_state_publisher">
        <param name="/use_gui" value="false"/>
        <rosparam param="/source_list">[/joint_states]</rosparam>
    </node>

    <include file="$(find scara_moveit_config)/launch/move_group.launch">
        <arg name="publish_monitored_planning_scene" value="true"/>
    </include>

    <include file="$(find scara_moveit_config)/launch/moveit_rviz.launch">
        <arg name="config" value="true"/>
    </include>
</launch>

Thanks for your help.

I've just met the same problem. The root cause is in the file trajectory_execution.launch.xml, the latest ROS version produces an extra line <arg name="execution_type" value="$(arg execution_type)"/> in this file. Delete it and the gazebo && rviz

Thank you. I also had the same issue. It occurred when I tried to launch move_group.launch from the MoveIt package. After deleting that line the error got solved.

Looks to me like somewhere in your launch file inclusion chain you are passing an arg called execution_type to scara_moveit_controller_manager.launch.xml, but that file does not have an argument called execution_type (as seen in the original question). The so-called "planning_execution" launch file provided in the original question <include>s several launch files that could be the root cause (planning_context.launch, move_group.launch, and moveit_rviz.launch). Without seeing all of the launch files it's tough to know which one is the root cause. I'd suggest looking in your package for a launch file that uses an <include> tag with scara_moveit_controller_manager.launch.xml that also has an <arg name="execution_type" value="...." /> tag as a child. This is most likely where the error posted is coming from.

Note, I've occasionally found rqt_launchtreevery useful for debugging issues like this: http://wiki.ros.org/rqt_launchtree

Thank you for your suggestion. rqt_launchtree is not available for noetic as of now. Is there any alternative available for that?

You could certainly building/running rqt_launchtree from source. It might work. You could also use the --files and --dump-params args to roslaunch. Although, it might just be easier to do a bit of work with grep to find where the execution_type arg shows up in your package. Something like roslaunch <PATH_TO_PLANNING_EXECUTION_LAUNCH> | xargs grep execution_type - would show you all launch files included and which ones had the phrase execution_type showing up. That would be a pretty good start
