ROS Programming: Building Powerful Robots

Dealing with the unexpected

ROS has several tools for detecting potential problems in all the elements of a given package. Just move with roscd to the package you want to analyze. Then, run roswtf. For chapter3_tutorials, we have the following output. Note that if you have something running, the ROS graph will be analyzed too. We have run the roslaunch chapter3_tutorials example6.launch command, which yields an output similar to the following screenshot:
