unknown url type while runnug cad-percept/cpt_deviation_analysis/dependencies.rosinstall

[PingHsunTsai]

Hi there, while trying to install cpt_deviation_analysis dependencies, here is the error coming up:

ERROR in config: Is not a local file, nor a valid URL [cad-percept/cpt_deviation_analysis/dependencies.rosinstall] : unknown url type: cad-percept/cpt_deviation_analysis/dependencies.rosinstall

Thanks for your help in advance.

The file structure changed and I think they're all in https://github.com/ethz-asl/cad-percept/blob/4942cecba148822dbf3bad3090f15ec48da67dfe/dependencies.rosinstall now. How did you try to install the dependencies?

[PingHsunTsai]

I follow the steps here by using wstool

wstool merge cad-percept/dependencies.rosinstall this one I ran without any error

[jstiefel]

Well, these instructions are certainly outdated since the folder structure changed. I assume you're trying to merge rosdep files which do not exist anymore. Try skipping these files and build anyway. Otherwise, you'll need to install the missing dependencies manually.

I just tried to catkin build cpt_sdeviation_analysis and here is the massage come out:

There's a CATKIN_IGNORE file in the construction folder.

Thank you vary much @jstiefel. We solved it by keeping only the mesh publisher node that is needed from cmake list.
