AutodockActionGoal not working

[Dan07567]

I was trying to use follow the instructions for the Mock Robot, when I encountered the following error as I was using the command line "rostopic pub /autodock_action/goal autodock_core/AutoDockingActionGoal {} --once" The error messages are as follows:

Any tips on this scenario?

By briefly inspecting your terminal printouts, i dont see any rostopics that are relevant to the /autodock_action.... Not sure if the auto_dock_node is actually running.

Also to check if the ros msg definition is available in your env, simply do rosmsg list | grep autodock

this worked for me:

rostopic pub /autodock_action/goal autodock_core/AutoDockingActionGoal "header:
  seq: 0
  stamp:
    secs: 0
    nsecs: 0
  frame_id: ''
goal_id:
  stamp:
    secs: 0
    nsecs: 0
  id: ''
goal:
  docking_waypoint: ''" --once
