Importing URDF with Ros mesh filename

[Alexandre-Bonneau]

Hi,
I am unable to load an urdf with pybullet, and such urdf have a link using ros path :eg "package://packageName/path/to/the/obj".

for exemple, I try to load some part of the pr2_description package in an urdf :

      <geometry>
        <mesh filename="package://pr2_description/meshes/base_v0/base.dae"/>
      </geometry>

Then this urdf cannot be read :
b3Printf: /home/abonneau/catkin_ws/src/uwds3/models/cad_models/urdf/pr2.urdf:80: cannot find 'pr2_description/meshes/base_v0/base.dae' in any directory in urdf path

It seems like it's discarding the package:// information, and is just looking in the urdf repository.

Is there any way to use such links in urdf?
