provide better feedback when robot description is missing (ros ticket #4369) #285

Closed ahendrix closed 11 years ago

Right now the urdf parser is complaining it can't find a robot element in the robot description.

To do:

get a better error from the parser
make pr2_ethercat or the controller manager give a clear error + suggestions on how to solve the problem when the parser fails to parse the urdf

[wim] In fact, there already is an informative ROS_FATAL coming from pr2_etherCAT. But it only gets shown on rxconsole, not in the terminal. I'll add a output="screen" for pr2_etherCAT, because it is not unreasonable to run pr2.launch without already having a ros core and rxconsole running.
