Local costmap is empty

I copied over the Husky navigation configuration hoping to improve my move_base planner. However the local costmap is empty, all zeros, and the robot does not navigate well. Launching move_base shows the obstacle layer is not subscribing to the correct scan topic. I can't attach my configuration files but they follow the husky configuration linked above.

The answer to this question, and others like this, is to make sure namespaces are declared and referenced correctly. My problem was the defined plugin obstacles_laser in the file costmap_local.yaml did not match the namespace obstacle_layers in the separate file costmap_common.yaml. Since there are no error codes for this, careful parsing of all the configuration .yaml files is required.
