roscd not woring

edit

Hello all.

I've been trying to get back into ROS but I keep having this issue of roscd not finding catkin_ws. I went as far as removing the catkin_ws folder and copying everything from the Catkin tutorial on how to setup a workspace but still the same results. These are the steps I took:

david@davidsPro3:~$ source /opt/ros/indigo/setup.bash

david@davidsPro3:~$ mkdir -p ~/catkin_ws/src

david@davidsPro3:~$ cd ~/catkin_ws/src

david@davidsPro3:~/catkin_ws/src$ catkin_init_workspace

Creating symlink "/home/david/catkin_ws/src/CMakeLists.txt" pointing to "/opt/ros/indigo/share/catkin/cmake/toplevel.cmake"

david@davidsPro3:~/catkin_ws$ source devel/setup.bash

david@davidsPro3:~/catkin_ws$ echo $ROS_PACKAGE_PATH

/home/david/catkin_ws/src:/opt/ros/indigo/share:/opt/ros/indigo/stacks

david@davidsPro3:~/catkin_ws$

Once done I opened a new terminal and ran roscd with the results below:

david@davidsPro3:~$ roscd catkin_ws

roscd: No such package/stack 'catkin_ws'

david@davidsPro3:~$ 

david@davidsPro3:~$ roscd

david@davidsPro3:/opt/ros/indigo$

I also did this followed by sourcing

Thanks for and help and suggestions on why this is not working?
