I think you should "overlay your workspace on top of your environment", so cd catkin_ws source devel/setup.bash

then launch your file!

Worked perfectly. However I do have a follow up question: When you initialize a catkin workspace, shouldn't that already be taken care of?

You can add the path of your catkin_ws in ~/.bashrc . sudo gedit ~/.bashrc add the path of your catkin workspace in bashrc YourPath/catkin_ws/devel/setup.bash and then run in terminal "source ~/.bashrc" And then you never get this error.

I had the same issue and I have already sourced the setup.bash. It turned out to be a spelling error in the command. I have typed beginner_tutorial"" instead of beginner_tutorial"s". If you get the same issue even after sourcing the setup.bash, double check the command to see if the spelling and names are correct. This might help.

Is there a space between the package name in your package.xml? I was having the same error in a different package and removing spaces inside <name></name> solved the problem for me.

Please see this issue for a possible cause of your problem.

I came up with the same problem. Here is my first solution without checking this website. My error note is just the same as yours

[tutrtlemimic.launch] is neither a launch file in package [beginner_tutorials] nor is [beginner_tutorials] a launch file name
The traceback for the exception was written to the log file

so I try to edit the command, first you need go to the ~/catkin_ws/src/beginner_tutorials/launch and then type the commandroslaunch turtlemimic.launch . It works to me.

But I think what I'm missing should be source devel/setup.bash,after I go through this website. I tried it and execute the ~/catkin_ws$ roslaunch beginner_tutorials turtlemimic.launch

It works, I think we need to do source every time we made some new file or folder. Before we use roslaunch or other command.

Does this mean that the source command is used every time you create msg

This error is directly related to the content inside the launch file you created. Just make sure that all necessary hashes and brackets are included as in paragraph 2.3 under this website http://wiki.ros.org/ROS/Tutorials/Usi....

Also make sure when you create the file, that you have only one set of numbers on the left column. Because if you copy whats inside this paragraph on a new file, that has numbers directly embedded inside of it, creates an error in format.
