How can I make a bash script in a package run after catkin_make has been used on workspace?

Hello @katsostak,

Let's say you have created a bash script including all package init. I am just providing an example instead of whoami and date command think it is your script.

Mini batch script: abc.sh

#!/bin/bash
whoami
date

You first need to chmod +x abc.sh

You can execute it in 2 ways: 1. bash abc.sh 2. ./abc.sh

Ideally I would want this bash script to be executed the first time someone uses catkin_make on the workspace after my package has been cloned on the src folder of the workspace.

CMake Solution

It is also possible to add a "post build" command for a target in CMake with add_custom_command using the "POST_BUILD COMMAND" option:

add_custom_command(TARGET doc
    POST_BUILD COMMAND your_script.sh
)

(I am not sure if this will work as intended for the target, maybe you have to experiment a bit.)
