If I use "catkin_make" to build my workspace, and re-source my bashrc, then roslaunch is able to find my launch files and the nodes launch just fine.
If I do a "cakin clean -a" and a "cakin build," and re-source my bashrc, roslaunch can't autocomplete my launch files, or run any of the nodes in my workspace.
Here are the ROS related lines from my .bashrc:
export ROS_HOSTNAME=localhost
export ROS_MASTER_URI=http://localhost:11311
export ROS_ROOT=/opt/ros/indigo
export PATH=/opt/ros/indigo/bin:$PATH
source /opt/ros/indigo/setup.bash
source ~/catkin_ws/devel/setup.bash
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/opt/ros/indigo/lib
The difference in my environment is only in the ROS_PACKAGE_PATH variable:
with catkin tools ("catkin make"):
ROS_PACKAGE_PATH=/home/awagner/catkin_ws/install/share:/home/awagner/catkin_ws/install/stacks:/home/awagner/catkin_ws/src/image_retriever:/home/awagner/catkin_ws/src/ros-indigo-openni2-camera-0.2.4:/home/awagner/catkin_ws/src/bear_detector:/opt/ros/indigo/share:/opt/ros/indigo/stacks
with catkin_make:
ROS_PACKAGE_PATH=/home/awagner/catkin_ws/src:/opt/ros/indigo/share:/opt/ros/indigo/stacks
so catkin tools is appending ROS_PACKAGE_PATH with all of the subdirectories of my packages, rather than just the parent package. Is this just a bug in the newer "python-catkin-tools" catkin front-end? Anyone else running into this?
