The cmake function
xacro_add_files
runsxacro
at build time. To resolve$(find current_package)
within xacro files,xacro
relies on a properly configured ament package index. However, this index is only created after building, during installation.By manually prepending
AMENT_PREFIX_PATH
with the current project'sament_cmake_index
in thebuild
folder and symlinking the source folder into the correspondingshare
folder, I was able to work around this shortcoming. However, a fix in https://github.com/ament/ament_cmake would be definitely better.Partially fixes #325.
Resolution of packages during xacro-dependency lookup still doesn't work.
