Controller Spawner couldn't find the expected controller_manager ROS interface

[1140452]

Hello I installed your repo and trying to run the roslaunch autorally_gazebo autoRallyTrackGazeboSim.launch and this warn appears:

[WARN] [1553860760.215555, 0.000000]: Controller Spawner couldn't find the expected controller_manager ROS interface. [controller_spawner-6] process has finished cleanly log file: /home/daniel/.ros/log/03184c32-521a-11e9-af93-1831bf747ba9/controller_spawner-6.log [spawn_platform-5] process has finished cleanly log file: /home/daniel/.ros/log/03184c32-521a-11e9-af93-1831bf747ba9/spawn_platform-5.log

Do you know how to fix this, because I'm being able to get anything in any simulation to work. thx.

@1140452 did you fix it? I have the same issue as you.

[1140452]

Hello, yes i did managed to solve the problem. As I was searching for solutions and it turned out to be memory problems, as the pc couldn't handle all the processing from the simulation. To solve it I deleted the cloud rendering they have in _populatedmarietta.world and it was done.

I have this issue as well. When I manually launch the spawner as per the launch file after Gazebo has been launched, I am able to properly control the car. This problem seemed to appear out of nowhere, as I had not updated anything on my machine. I also don't know why it can't seem to launch the spawner properly within the launch file.

Deleting clouds did not work. Had to launch the controller once gazebo finished opening as well @jsacks3 Edit: I just forked today. This feels like it is probably buried in some obscure LTS update for kinetic ROS controllers

Can anyone who is having this issue give me your version of

Ubuntu Gazebo

I am unable to reproduce this on my machine, but I have seen it happen on others.

In my case was Ubuntu 16.04 and Gazebo 7

Can you confirm that this package is installed? ros-kinetic-gazebo-ros-control

Also that you are on the latest version of kinetic-devel

along with that if you run a launch file with the contents below after gazebo has launched does it fix the issue?

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<launch>

  <!-- Load the joint controllers. One of these publishes the joint states to joint_states. -->
  <node name="controller_spawner" pkg="controller_manager" type="spawner"
        args="$(find autorally_gazebo)/config/autoRallyPlatformJointCtrlrParams.yaml"/>

  <!-- Control the steering, axle, and shock absorber joints. -->
  <node name="autorally_controller" pkg="autorally_gazebo"
        type="autorally_controller.py" output="screen">
    <param name="cmd_timeout" value="0.5"/>
    <rosparam file="$(find autorally_gazebo)/config/autoRallyPlatformCtrlrParams.yaml" command="load"/>
  </node>

</launch>

I have that package installed and that error does appear when trying to run your launch file. However it stops appearing when I make it to launch the world and the car.

[JasonGibson274]

So if the world is launched and up before the controllers are spawned it works just fine?

[JasonGibson274]

Try running with verbose enabled in the track launch file
