Messeage_logger header not found

[valli96]

When I try to build the tests for the elevation_mapping project with catkin build --catkin-make-args run_tests -- --this

the build fails with this error message

~/catkin_ws/src/elevation_mapping/elevation_mapping/test/ThreadSafeParameterWrapperTest.cpp:7:10: fatal error: message_logger/message_logger.hpp: No such file or directory
 #include <message_logger/message_logger.hpp>

I installed the missing packed even if it is not mentioned in the dependencies, nevertheless I get this error message.

I tried to run the project demo without the test with roslaunch elevation_mapping_demos ground_truth_demo.launch

I encounter this error

ERROR: cannot launch node of type [point_cloud_io/read]: point_cloud_io

Are the errors connected to each other? Do I need a different version of PCL?

I encounter the same problems using melodic (Ubuntu 18.04) and noetic (Ubuntu 20.04).
Thank you in advance.

I could solve the first problem with the missing message_logger package. The message_logger project of ANYbotics has to be cloned and build in the same catkin src directory as all the other dependencies.

I still can't run the "ground_truth_demo.launch" I am getting the same error as before.

 ERROR: cannot launch node of type [point_cloud_io/read]: point_cloud_io

Did anyone face the same problem?

Hey, thank you for the issue.

We will make an MR to solve the first one. You are right the dependency is missing. https://github.com/ANYbotics/message_logger

For the 2nd one, you should have the dependency installed. We at least require it in the demo package, see here: https://github.com/ANYbotics/elevation_mapping/blob/master/elevation_mapping_demos/package.xml#L21
