Hi, everything was OK before I did update. After update of ROS packages the ROS Groovy not work or give me the following message:

[move_monsun] is not a package or launch file name when I use the lanch file

roslaunch move_monsun move_monsun.launch
<launch>
    <group ns="monsun"> 
      <node pkg="move_monsun" name="PID_Move" type="move_monsun_node" output="screen">
    <param name="k_p" value="1.0" type="double"/>
    <param name="k_i" value="0.0" />
    <param name="k_d" value="0.0" />
    <param name="k_pl" value="1.0" type="double"/>
    <param name="k_il" value="0.0" />
    <param name="k_dl" value="0.0" />
    <param name="i_max" value="0.0" />
    <param name="output_min" value="-60.0" />
    <param name="output_max" value="60.0" />
    <param name="output_minl" value="-40.0" />
    <param name="output_maxl" value="40.0" />
     </node>
    </group>
</launch>

I am sure, I don't make any change in path of ros_workspace. I am run for the same packages before the update and they work and after the update don't work. I'm sure I did not do to change anything in the my files only I've update for my ROS_packages. I tred rosmake agin for the same packges and I get the follwing:

[ rosmake ] rosmake starting...

In my .bashrc there the path of ROS

source /opt/ros/groovy/setup.bash
export ROS_PACKAGE_PATH=~/ros_workspace:$ROS_PACKAGE_PATH
export ROS_WORKSPACE=~/ros_workspace

And roscd is working. Any ideas thanks

Is it still not working ? Did you try to reinstall everything from scratch ?

Lucile ( 2013-07-10 22:18:42 -0500 )edit

Yes, I install fresh ROS and I get the same problem.May be the problem in path of ROS but I written as above.

underwater ( 2013-07-11 01:57:24 -0500 )edit

Did you check rosdep version ? Command line is rosdep --version I had the same kind of problems as yours with a new ROS install and it apparently came from the fact that rosdep wasn't up to date.

Lucile ( 2013-07-11 02:04:09 -0500 )edit

( 0.10.21 version)

underwater ( 2013-07-11 10:49:03 -0500 )edit

Ok, rosdep is ok then. But I do not think you have to add ROS_PACKAGE_PATH and ROS_WORKSPACE to your .bashrc since some other files are called from setup.bash to set them up. Plus, the path you set for ROS_PACKAGE_PATH seems wrong to me because it doesn't lead to stacks and share folders.

Lucile ( 2013-07-11 22:03:38 -0500 )edit

My path ros_workspace is /home/amory/ros_workspace

underwater ( 2013-07-11 23:33:27 -0500 )edit

And in .bashrc is the follwing :source /opt/ros/groovy/setup.bash export ROS_WORKSPACE=~/ros_workspace export ROS_PACKAGE_PATH=~/ros_workspace:$ROS_PACKAGE_PATH. What is wrong ?

underwater ( 2013-07-11 23:36:14 -0500 )edit

My mistake. I mixed up ROS_PACKAGE_PATH and ROS_WORKSPACE. It doesn't seem to come from your path definition. Seems like your problem is somewhere deeper in your ROS system. Maybe some tool is broken ?

This could be related to ros-infrastructure/rospkg/issues/39.

I could confirm that. With the update my rosbuild package I had used make eclipse-project with broke launching and removing CATKIN_IGNORE helped.

Taken from the wiki

For a package to be considered a catkin package it must meet a few requirements:

The package must contain a catkin compliant package.xml file
That package.xml file provides meta information about the package
The package must contain a CMakeLists.txt which uses catkin
The exception to this rule is that catkin metapackages do not have a CMakeLists.txt file
There can be no more than one package in each folder
This means no nested packages nor multiple packages sharing the same directory

I think you might be missing some files. I had a similar problem once and it was solved through this. Check if you have all these files and follow the following tutorial correctly

http://www.ros.org/wiki/ROS/Tutorials/CreatingPackage

If it still does not work, you might have to change the ROS_PACKAGE_PATH

Just to be clear: while certainly helpful in making sure the OP has the proper files for a catkin package, this particular error was caused by a problem in ros/mk and catkin. See ros/issues/20 for more information.

Hi,

what kind of build system do you use? If you use catkin, did you source the setup file?

I use rosmake and ROS Groovy with Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and Ubuntu 13.04 and I get the same problem for both version of Ubunto

underwater ( 2013-07-03 05:07:34 -0500 )edit

Ok, I thought it could be the same problem like I have. But I use catkin. Have you tried to build your package again?

Sonne ( 2013-07-03 05:12:22 -0500 )edit

I just have tred and I get the following :[ rosmake ] rosmake starting...
[ rosmake ] No package or stack specified. And current directory 'move_monsun' is not a package name or stack name.

You need to include the move_monsun directory in the ROS_PACKAGE_PATH.

but move_monsun is a package where in the ros_workspace ~/ros_workspace/move_monsun

underwater ( 2013-07-03 10:08:25 -0500 )edit

is your ros_workspace still in ROS_PACKAGE_PATH ?

Lucile ( 2013-07-03 22:26:10 -0500 )edit

yes, I am sure

underwater ( 2013-07-03 23:48:42 -0500 )edit

source /opt/ros/groovy/setup.bash
export ROS_PACKAGE_PATH=~/ros_workspace:$ROS_PACKAGE_PATH
export ROS_WORKSPACE=~/ros_workspace

underwater ( 2013-07-03 23:52:09 -0500 )edit

Are all you packages concerned by this problem ? I am dealing with a quite similar issue with a new ROS installation.

Lucile ( 2013-07-08 23:14:40 -0500 )edit

Yes, all packages.

underwater ( 2013-07-09 03:38:19 -0500 )edit

Ok, then we might be struggling with the same troubles. I am trying to reinstall from scratch in order to understand what went wrong. I'll keep you up

Lucile ( 2013-07-09 03:43:37 -0500 )edit

Ok, here's my question : http://answers.ros.org/question/66797/ros-installation-failed I finally got it working. I hope the answer will help you
