Created attachment 437748 [details, diff] Patch to add CATKIN_PREFIX_PATH support to _setup_util.py.in The standard ROS environment hooks are not run when sourcing devel.{bash,zsh} in a local catkin workspace. This results in environment variables not being set to expected values and tools like roslaunch being unable to find some files in the workspace. Steps to reproduce (you can't have dev-ros/rospy_tutorials installed): mkdir -p ~/catkin_ws/src cd ~/catkin_ws/src catkin_init_workspace git clone https://github.com/ros/ros_tutorials.git cd .. catkin_make source devel/setup.zsh roslaunch rospy_tutorials talker_listener.launch Expected: [...] SUMMARY ======== PARAMETERS * /rosdistro: kinetic * /rosversion: 1.12.2 NODES / listener (rospy_tutorials/listener.py) talker (rospy_tutorials/talker.py) auto-starting new master process[master]: started with pid [4959] ROS_MASTER_URI=http://localhost:11311/ setting /run_id to d318e7fc-33c3-11e6-97e0-00142fa25553 process[rosout-1]: started with pid [4974] started core service [/rosout] process[listener-2]: started with pid [4977] process[talker-3]: started with pid [4978] [INFO] [WallTime: 1466082684.525548] hello world 1466082684.53 [INFO] [WallTime: 1466082684.625986] hello world 1466082684.63 [INFO] [WallTime: 1466082684.627015] /listenerI heard hello world 1466082684.63 [INFO] [WallTime: 1466082684.725854] hello world 1466082684.73 [...] Actual: [talker_listener.launch] is neither a launch file in package [rospy_tutorials] nor is [rospy_tutorials] a launch file name The traceback for the exception was written to the log file Reason: More CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH silliness from Catkin, this time in _setup_util.py. The attached patch is one way to fix this for Gentoo.
