Unknown Command: create_new_map

[Armand42]

TODO: ADD YOUR QUESTION/PROBLEM DESCRIPTION HERE Hello, I am trying to generate a new map with the create_new_map command in my maplab <>:/$ console but I get the following error:

E0917 17:06:27.269898 17653 command-registerer.cc:127] Unknown command: create_new_map

Am I missing any dependencies and if so what should I do?

Hi @Armand42 This probably means that the plugin that contains this command was not loaded when starting the console. E.g. if you run the console with --v=1 you should get sth like this:

still@work:/tmp$ rosrun maplab_console maplab_console --v=1

If there are no plugins loaded the two most likely options are: They were never built, e.g. you did catkin build maplab_console instead of catkin build maplab or something with the way the plugins are registered to be picked up by the console is broken on your machine.
