Prevent reconfigure from overwriting parameters at the initialization #24

Closed matijazigic closed 3 years ago

matijazigic commented 3 years ago

During my testing, I run into one bug regarding reconfigure parameters loading. During initialization parameters from launch files and .yamls will be overwritten with the default ones from the .cfg file. To prevent this to be happening, params from .yamls and ones from .cfg files should have the same names. Now, they don't have the same names due to missing prefixes - controller, footprint_model and 'collision' inside .cfg files, so parameters from .yaml files are overwritten inside reconfigure callback.

Config file cheks is there parameter with the same name, if there is, the default value from params server will be used, and not the one specified from the user inside cfg file. See: https://answers.ros.org/question/28327/dynamic-reconfigure-default-parameters/?answer=28332#post-id-28332
