Hello,

Thanks in advance for your help!

I'm having a nightmare trying to figure out what's wrong with my code. I just installed ros2 galactic and I'm running the code that works on ros2 foxy. When I launch the robot_localization package it works fine on ros2 foxy, but in galactic I'm having this error:

[ekfnode-1] terminate called after throwing an instance of 'rclcpp::ParameterTypeException' [ekfnode-1] what(): expected [string] got [not set]

I changed to galactic because It has a lot of improvements that are very useful for my thesis project so It would be much appreciated some help to get it to work in this distro.

Here is the screenshot of the terminal:

This is my configuration file:

And this is my launch file:

from launch import LaunchDescription
from launch_ros.actions import Node
from ament_index_python.packages import get_package_share_directory
import os


robot_localization_params = os.path.join(
            get_package_share_directory('navigation'),
            'config',
            'robot_localization_params.yaml'
        ),


def generate_launch_description():
    return LaunchDescription([
        Node(
          package='robot_localization',
          executable='ekf_node',
          name='ekf_filter_node',
          output='screen',
          parameters=[
            robot_localization_params
            ]
        )
    ])

Any ideas of what it can be?
