I am trying to use a custom msg in another package within the same workspace. I am getting the following error:

/home/kanete/knet_bot_ws/src/knet_bot_localization/src/knet_bot_odom.cpp:6:10: fatal error: knet_bot_msgs/EncoderSpeed.h: No such file or directory
    6 | #include <knet_bot_msgs/EncoderSpeed.h>

I am using Ubuntu 20.04 and ROS Noetic. I have generated a custom msg that can be found using rosmsg show.

   rosmsg show EncoderSpeed
[knet_bot_msgs/EncoderSpeed]:
std_msgs/Header header
  uint32 seq
  time stamp
  string frame_id
float32 right_wheel_rpm
float32 left_wheel_rpm

The CMakeList.txt of the package that needs to use the custom msg is:

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.0.2)
project(knet_bot_localization)
add_compile_options(-std=c++11)
find_package(catkin REQUIRED COMPONENTS
  nav_msgs
  roscpp
  std_msgs
  knet_bot_msgs
  tf
)
catkin_package(
#  INCLUDE_DIRS include
#  LIBRARIES compute_cdist
  CATKIN_DEPENDS 
  roscpp 
  knet_bot_msgs
#  DEPENDS assimp Eigen mlpack
)
include_directories(
  ${catkin_INCLUDE_DIRS}
)
add_executable(knet_bot_odom src/knet_bot_odom.cpp)
target_link_libraries(knet_bot_odom ${catkin_LIBRARIES})
add_dependencies(knet_bot_odom ${catkin_EXPORTED_TARGETS})

The package.xml:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<package format="2">

  <version>0.0.0</version>

  • I have tried removing /devel and /build and rebuilding.
  • I have tried generating the message first and then building the package that depends on it.
  • I have tried using add_dependencies(knet_bot_odom knet_bot_msgs_generate_messages_cpp)

It seems a little strange. I have been able to build this package in a different computer.

Any help would be really appreciated :) Thank you!

Can you also include CMakeLists and package.xml of the package containingEncoderSpeed?

Thank you. I have included those files.

In your CMakeLists can you include:

include_directories( ${catkin_INCLUDE_DIRS} )

and see if that helps

Hi, yes this is included in the knet_bot_localization package. It is also included in the knet_bot_msgs package but I accidentally removed it when posting in the forum. I still get the same error :/
