I followed PR2 Opens a Door tutorial.

when I run

  hg clone https://kforge.ros.org/doors/hg
  svn co https://code.ros.org/svn/wg-ros-pkg/stacks/motion_planning_common/trunk/mapping_msgs
  svn co https://code.ros.org/svn/wg-ros-pkg/stacks/motion_planning_common/trunk/geometric_shapes_msgs

  export ROBOT=sim
  roslaunch pr2_doors_gazebo_demo pr2_doors_demo.launch
  rosrun pr2_doors_executive trigger_opendoor.py

It says:

  ira@ira-K42JP:~/code/ros/test$ rosrun pr2_doors_executive trigger_opendoor.py
  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "/home/ira/code/ros/sam_gazebo/hg/pr2_doors_executive/scripts/trigger_opendoor.py", line 33, in <module>

How to solve it?

Thank you~

Did you execute

rosmake pr2_doors_executive

When you are installing packages from source, you need to rosmake them.

I can run it. And it shows:Waiting for open door action server Sending goal to open door action server. But why pr2 doesn't move? I can't see PR2 do anything.

As @dornhege pointed out already, the code is written for cturtle and is probably unmaintained. I wouldn't expect it to work in electric.

Sure,you're right. But I think if I know how tofix it maybe I can learn more ROS. Or should I post on another question?

If you do this to learn more, you'll need to debug what is going on, i.e. understand how it's supposed to work and then see where it hangs. But for learning how things in ROS work, I'd suggest taking something more recent as things might have changed drastically.

Where to start to figure out? And how to make sure what I need? Thank you~

Reading source code is always a good starting point. Use rxgraph, rostopic info, rostopic list, rosnode info and rosnode list to find out which nodes are connected/unconnected. Find out why the unconnected nodes are not connected and fix that by starting the missing nodes. And read source code :)

Do you have a door_msgs package? Are the respective packages in your ROS_PACKAGE_PATH?

Also, the tutorial is for cturtle. What ROS version do you run? If it's not cturtle packages might not be there anymore/named differently/APIs changed.

door_msgs is include in https://kforge.ros.org/doors/hg. And I make sure it is in ROS_PACKAGE_PATH. I use electric. I want to know how to fixed it to learn more ROS. And... why ROS couldn't support early version? Thank you~
