I have the following code. When launched using a launch file I can see that a service is listed under rosnode info but when i try to call the service I am getting an error like

ERROR: Unable to load type [biclops/HomingSequence]. Have you typed 'make' in [biclops]?

The code was working fine few hours back and I have no clue why this is happening . Kindly help

Thank you

What does

echo $ROS_PACKAGE_PATH

output? I'd guess that your service isn't being found because your path got changed. Try re-sourcing the setup file in your ros workspace.
