Fatal error: MultiDofFollowJointTrajectoryAction.h no such file or directory

Hi, while trying to run catkin_make under the Install rotors simulation section. I am getting the following error message.

[76%] Building CXX object ROS_quadrotor_simulator/action_controller/CMakeFiles/action_controller.dir/src/actionController.cpp.o
/home/jn//ros/catkin_ws/src/ROS_quadrotor_simulator/action_controller/src/actionController.cpp:6:67:
Fatal error: action_controller/MultiDofFollowJointTrajectoryAction.h: No such file or directory
#include <action_controller/MultiDofFollowJointTrajectoryAction.h>

compilation terminated.

make: *** [all] Error 2

I believe this is a similar issue to a previous one that was posted recently. If I could get a push in the right direction that would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Update: I solved it navigating to the ROS_quadrotor_simulator subdirectory and running a cmake action_controller on it. I was able to compile my catkin workspace with no issues afterwards.

Reopening:

Turns out the above resolution, merely made the package be ignored when compiling the workspace. If anyone has any insight, that would be very helpful. :)

hi so this are my changes:
git diff
you can ignore the tempory files.
the thing i think is the important part is:
catkin_make clean
catkin_make
catkin_make --pkg action_controller
catkin_make
i also copy the archive fix-unused-typedef-warning.patch for the package glog_catkin to the src folder

[jnguyen596]

Hi, the link that you posted in your comment came out with the error:
{"success":false,"error":404,"message":"Not Found"}

[NuenoB]

i uploaded again
git diff
but i don't think that is the important part

[jnguyen596]

Still does not work sir. Thank you for the assistance though.

[NuenoB]

man sorry, the other thing i did was the tutorial for actionlib

[jianhuaixie]

Still have the problem,can't compile it success

I think you need to catkin_make --pkg action_controller by itself to generate the missing file.

@wilselby sir I tried that however the same error still persists

This problem is related with MoveIt!. You need to change CMakeLists file of moveit_simple_controller_manager package so that it is find_package()d to perceive action_controller. Below is the fix:

add_definitions(-std=c++11), next to the project definition line.

find_package(catkin COMPONENTS moveit_core pluginlib actionlib roscpp control_msgs REQUIRED action_controller), You need to add action_controller next to the REQUIRED field.

Finally add, add_dependencies(moveit_simple_controller_manager action_controller_generate_messages_cpp) which assures that this package will wait for the completion of action_controller's message generation. Add this line next to the add_library line.

---

In case you get lost in the CMakeLists file of moveit_simple_controller_manager, the accurate version is attached below. Just copy it into the moveit_simple_controller_manager which is under your catkin workspace.

CMakeLists.txt

---

Note: This fix solves the dependency problem. However, there will still be a small error in your catkin_make arising from the changed MoveIt! API. They have updated their API in the beginning of 2018, thus @wilselby 's implementation naturally can not respect to that.

in my case. i clone all repositories except ROS_quadrotor_simulator. i run catkin_make. and then i clone ROS_quadrotor_simulator and run catkin_make again. it work for me

[saifullah3396]

This needs an update in moveit_simple_controller_manager/CMakeLists.txt.
Adding action_controller in find_package() solves the problem.

[modpy44]

I sloved this by adding add_dependencies(action_controller action_controller_generate_messages_cpp) to action_controller/CmakeLists.txt . It have to be located below target_link_libraries line .

Thank you modpy44, this solves the issue for me :)

[mSimon12]

Thanks @modpy44, your suggestion solved my problem ;)
