how to generate the custom message

1 view (last 30 days)
I am trying to creat a message for ros in maltab.
the .msg filein the folder (/home/bikebot/catkin_ws/src/kinova-ros-master/kinova_msgs/msg) and under the folder there are multiple .msg files.
then I used the funciton rosgenmsg and got followign error.
folderpath ='/home/bikebot/catkin_ws/src/kinova-ros-master/kinova_msgs'
rosgenmsg(folderpath)
Identifying message files in folder '/home/bikebot/catkin_ws/src/kinova-ros-master/kinova_msgs'..Done.
Validating message files in folder '/home/bikebot/catkin_ws/src/kinova-ros-master/kinova_msgs'..Done.

Error using rosgenmsg (line 332)
No packages with '.msg' files found under
/home/bikebot/catkin_ws/src/kinova-ros-master/kinova_msgs. Each message package directory must
contain a directory named 'msg' that then contains '.msg' files.
Hope someone can help with this.

This is the same issue as here. Please see that question and this one for more folder structure details.

I'm not sure what you mean by the custom message package not being able to be installed in R2020b. The vast majority of message definitions should work with either R2020a or R2020b. Off the top of my head, the only issues I can think of that would be usable in 20a but not 20b is if the message definition uses a reserved C++ keyword as a message or field name.
Can you provide more detail? Maybe with your message definition(s) if you can share it?

For up to and including R2020b, ROS Toolbox only supports Visual Studio 2017 for custom message generation on Windows. For R2021a, it also supports Visual Studio 2019. Assuming you are using an earlier release of MATLAB, install VS2017 and use mex -setup to point to it. Or update to R2021a.
