fatal error: geometry_msgs/msg/velocity_stamped.hpp: No such file or directory

[Kalemat96]

Bug report

• Operating System:
  • Ubuntu 22.04
• Installation type:
  • binaries
• Version or commit hash:
  • humble 0.25.8

Steps to reproduce issue

include "tf2_geometry_msgs/tf2_geometry_msgs.hpp" in a custom package and build it.

Expected behavior

Installation using apt works fine.

Actual behavior

After update the custom package gives an error while building:

/opt/ros/humble/include/tf2_geometry_msgs/tf2_geometry_msgs/tf2_geometry_msgs.hpp:51:10: fatal error: geometry_msgs/msg/velocity_stamped.hpp: No such file or directory
51 | #include "geometry_msgs/msg/velocity_stamped.hpp"

Additional information

Today I updated all the ros packages and I get the error while building.

I then built the 0.25.7 version of the geometry2 package locally and it works again, but I couldn't figure out the problem.

Does anyone have an idea?

Version 0.25.7 is the last Humble version before this PR, which added the #include "geometry_msgs/msg/velocity_stamped.hpp": #684. So it makes sense.

This message was added in Humble here: ros2/common_interfaces#249. The next release of geometry_msgs after that PR is 4.2.4, so can you just make sure you have geometry_msgs version >= 4.2.4? I do see that this version is available from apt. You can check the version that is currently installed on your system by running: apt list --installed | grep ros-humble-geometry-msgs.

Thanks for your reply, I just updated all packages. I have installed ros-humble-geometry-msgs version 4.2.4.

I can find the file VelocityStamped.msg file in the humble folder, but somehow it is not installed properly.

It is not listed up using ros2 interface list | grep Velocity.

[christophebedard]

I do have it on my Ubuntu 22.04 system with Humble:

$ source /opt/ros/humble/setup.bash
$ ros2 interface list | grep VelocityStamped
    geometry_msgs/msg/VelocityStamped

Try reinstalling all packages with sudo apt-get install --reinstall ros-humble-desktop (or ros-humble-ros-base).
