I received this error when using the ros2genmsg function (the image shows the structure of the folder containing the action interface, I was currently in the folder "ros2CustomMessages":

Hi Quan,
As the build log message mentioned, the culprit is that the package name of your custom message is "action_msgs", which is exactly the same as one of the ROS(2) Package that any custom message generation for action requires (See this page for the "action_msgs" package). Hence, during the code generation process, CMake got confused.
To address this issue, please rename your package to another name.
e.g. change the folder "action_msgs" to "my_action_msgs".
Hope this helps,
Thanks,
Josh
