No member named trigger in INDIGO?

[CesMak]

Hey there,

I have kinetic code that i need to be able to run on indigo.

My code runs completely fine on kinetic but on indigo I got this error:

error: ‘class rviz_visual_tools::RvizVisualTools’ has no member named ‘trigger’ visualtools->trigger();

Code Snipped: rviz_visual_tools::RvizVisualToolsPtr visual_tools_;

[mcevoyandy]

are you installing rviz_visual_tools from source or apt-get?

[CesMak]

I installed it via apt-get (as I said i just installed rviz_visual_tools for indigo)

by the way how does this matter?

[mcevoyandy]

Sorry, I just saw that you have kinetic code you need to run on indigo and wanted to clarify.

You will need to install the kinetic-devel branch from source. There are some features that in the kinetic-devel branch that are not available in indigo-devel.

[CesMak]

so there is no other smart way instead of writing trigger() ??

I do not wanna risk that other things I have done will not work anymore -- I mean rviz_visual_tools should be also for indigo or? So how I use it with indigo?

[mcevoyandy]

Follow the build from source instructions. Before building, ensure you're on the kinetic-devel branch. git checkout kinetic-devel

We make breaking changes between ROS versions to improve the overall feature set. This means you cannot use Indigo debian and expect it to work like Kinetic - that ruins the whole point. However like Andy said building from source is a great work around. There are likely other work arounds but we cannot support that ourselves, that's up to you to figure out.

All right thanks :) -> I just came around not using rviz_visual_tools it also works for me now :)
