What is Warn and Error about Rotate recovery?

After planning, ROS outputs a warn and an error on a terminal.

[WARN] [1403639144.542396993]: Rotate recovery behavior started.
[ERROR] [1403639144.542945771]: Rotate recovery can't rotate in place because there is a potential collision. Cost: -1.00

What outputs these warning and error? I means which source file says error and warning? and What kind of problem happens on my plan?
Could anyone give me any clues? Thank you in advance?

Yes, this in the rotate_recovery behavior inside the navigation stack. However, the actual cause of this is typically more complex. If your robot has an odd-shaped footprint, than that can be the cause. But if you are using a turtlebot, with a circular footprint and centered drive wheels, you should pretty much always be able to rotate in place -- unless localization drifts/jumps, thus putting you on top of an obstacle that was already in the cost map.

Thanks @fergs, I try to experiment a navigation with turtlebot2. As Turtlebot2 can rotate in place, you say that such a error doesn't arise without drift/jumps?

@fergs, I run into this situation quite often with my Kobuki when it is stopped in a hallway and needs to go to the next goal location. I am using amcl and an existing map for localization and the DWA global planner. Is there any way to force a rotation in place as a last resort recovery behavior?

I means which source file says error and warning?

grep -R "Rotate recovery behavior started." /opt/ros/groovy/
/opt/ros/groovy/stacks/navigation/rotate_recovery/src/rotate_recovery.cpp:  ROS_WARN("Rotate recovery behavior started.");
Binary file /opt/ros/groovy/stacks/navigation/rotate_recovery/lib/librotate_recovery.so matches

Thanks you @MichaelKorn, The command is useful for me.

If we execute rqt, we seem to be able to get many information. in case that Rotate recovery can't rotate in place because there is a potential collision, rqt shows that error happens at the location /home/turtlebot/catkin_ws/src/rotate_recovery/src/rotate_recovery.cpp:RoateRecovery::runBehavior:124 The position at the error is next

footprint_cost = world_model_->footprintCost(x, y, theta, local_costmap_->getRobotFootprint(),0.0,0.0);

and footprint value is likely -1.
