I am using ROS melodic and ubuntu 18.04. I am trying to execute action server according to wiki tutorials http://wiki.ros.org/actionlib_tutoria.... My pkg directory contains src,scripts and action subdirectories. I have also created *.action file. But my pkg does not build (using catkin build <mypkg>). I am getting following error. </mypkg>
----------- error message -------
Could not find messages which '/home/shiraz/catkin_ws/devel/.private/actionlib_tutorials/share/actionlib_tutorials/msg/FibonacciAction.msg' depends on. Did you forget to specify generate_messages(DEPENDENCIES ...)?

Cannot locate message [Header] in package [std_msgs] with paths [['/home/shiraz/catkin_ws/devel/share/std_msgs/cmake/../msg']] Call Stack (most recent call first): /opt/ros/melodic/share/genmsg/cmake/genmsg-extras.cmake:307 (include) CMakeLists.txt:76 (generate_messages)

You are missing

# Generate added messages and services with any dependencies listed here
 generate_messages(
   DEPENDENCIES
   actionlib_msgs
   geometry_msgs 
   std_msgs
 )

call generate_messages, right after you add the action, srv, or msg files.
