Hi everyone,

I am currently using ROS Crystal from source. I have a second workspace where i have included the control_msgs package for bouncy. LINK.

The problem in that after successfully building the package and sourcing the corresponding install/setup.bash file, I still cannot import that particular module in python.

The error is the typical ImportError: No module named control_msgs.

Any advide? Thanks

UPDATE

Trying to fix this myself at: https://github.com/nzlz/control_msgs/...

What does python --version say?

2.7 and 3.6.7. But this must be an issue related to he control_msgs repo as @dirk-thomas has pointed.

Were you able to compile https://github.com/nzlz/control_msgs? I had to add unique_identifier_msgs as a dependency.

Looking at the CMakeLists.txt file of the package I don't think it is functional at the moment. While it enumerates several interface files ( https://github.com/ros-controls/contr... ) it doesn't call rosidl_generate_interfaces anywhere. You might want to fill a ticket upstream about the problem.

Okay, thanks!

Hello Dirk,

I submitted the issue but I got no answer. Since I have an old repo that I manage to build successfully, I am just trying to migrate the control_msgs myself. Could you please take a look at the updated post?

Thanks in advance,

I have now added an issue to track this: https://github.com/ros-controls/contr...
