Hello. I was doing Task 3 from ROS Basics Exam and I encountered this error when I tried navigating back to my workspace root and build it. I also tried to launch using roslaunch basics_exam check_distance_action.launch and I got errors. I’ll attach here the errors. What can I do to fix it? Thank you.
It looks like you are not compiling your packages properly. As the error message indicated, you must compile in the root of the workspace, which is /home/user/catkin_ws. Try:
cd /home/user/catkin_ws
rm -rf build/ devel/
catkin_make
source devel/setup.bash
If still not working, then check that
- you created your package in `/home/user/catkin_ws/src
- you have made the necessary changes to
CMakeLists.txtandpackage.xml
Sir, I did compile in the root of the workspace. When i got the error, I used the exact commands you mentioned. Then when it still didn’t work I redid everything step by step making sure I don’t forget anything. I made the changes to CMakeLists.txt and package.xml.
I suppose it’s working now?
No sir. I meant that even though I did everything you mentioned it still doesn’t work. I did everything you said a few times over several days and nothing changed. Is me using a Macbook to do these tasks influencing in any way?
This problem is similar to what you have in the following post (your messages are not built yet).
