I have a map file saved in catking_ws/src
I tried doing :
rosrun map_server map_server my_map.yaml
and got the correct output earlier.
Then I wrote the launch file as per exercise 2.5 but I got this error:
user:~/catkin_ws/src$ roslaunch provide_map provide_map_launch.launch

Launch file:
<launch> <arg name="map_file" default="/home/user/catkin_ws/src/my_map.yaml" /> <node pkg="map_server" type="map_server" args="$(arg map_file)" name="map_server" output="screen" /> </launch>
After this I tried using rosrun map_server map_server my_map.yaml again just to see if every thing worked correctly, but nothing happened.
