I have read all the replies on this topic, watch the QA video, read line by line. I still cannot compile my custon Action msg.

I have created the files, confirmed the paths are correct, double checked cmakelist and package.xml. did catkin\_make, sourced all the terminals, still not getting the CustomActionMsg compiled. Can u help me finde my error?

Hello @nicolasjcozzarin ,  
I believe you might have a problem with a name collision between your package ( **actions\_quiz** ) and your script ( **actions\_quiz.py** ). Could you try renaming your Python script to something else, ie. **actions\_quiz\_node.py**?

Let me know if this works,
