Hello,

I have the following structure:

Package
|__"src"
   |__"node.py"
|__"msg"
   |__"message.msg"
   |__"__init__.py"

I want to access the message.msg in the node.py, but when I try to import it, I get the pylance error

Import "msg.msg" could not be resolved

I tried

from msg.msg import message.msg
from package.msg import message.msg

import sys
sys.path.append(~/workspace/src/package/msg) #with and without the ~
sys.path.append(package/msg)

And none of it works.

I followed the Creating A Message tutorial and added all the relevant dependencies in the package.xml and CMakeLists.txt, and everything also compiles fine. The __init__.py is empty

Am I messing up the path?

I'm closing this as a duplicate of #q270568.

That question discusses a similar problem, and I believe the solution offered there should also help you.
