# Header Message Errors
|
||||||
|
When wanting to introduce [headers](http://docs.ros.org/en/melodic/api/std_msgs/html/msg/Header.html) do the following steps.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
You should have a CMake package created already (as only Cmake packages can implement custom msgs as of now).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Custom Message File
|
||||||
|
* Create a *.mgs file inside the `msg/` directory and start the file name with a capital letter
|
||||||
|
* Add the line `std_msgs/Header header` in order to use the header message, this msg type is from standard messages ([std_msgs](http://docs.ros.org/en/melodic/api/std_msgs/html/index-msg.html))
|
||||||
|
* Only introduce absolutely necessary comments in *.msg file (eg. #Header) in order to minimize possible errors.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Configure package.xml
|
||||||
|
* Add _buildtool_depend_:
|
||||||
|
```xml
|
||||||
|
<buildtool_depend>ament_cmake</buildtool_depend>
|
||||||
|
<buildtool_depend>rosidl_default_generators</buildtool_depend>
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
* Add _build_depend_:
|
||||||
|
```xml
|
||||||
|
<build_depend>builtin_interfaces</build_depend>
|
||||||
|
<build_depend>std_msgs</build_depend>
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
* Add _exec_depend_:
|
||||||
|
```xml
|
||||||
|
<exec_depend>rosidl_default_runtime</exec_depend>
|
||||||
|
<exec_depend>builtin_interfaces</exec_depend>
|
||||||
|
<exec_depend>std_msgs</exec_depend>
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Configure CMakeLists.txt
|
||||||
|
* Add required packages:
|
||||||
|
```cmake
|
||||||
|
find_package(ament_cmake REQUIRED)
|
||||||
|
find_package(rosidl_default_generators REQUIRED)
|
||||||
|
find_package(builtin_interfaces REQUIRED)
|
||||||
|
find_package(std_msgs REQUIRED)
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
* Create msg files set (exchange with your own `msg/*.msg` files):
|
||||||
|
```cmake
|
||||||
|
set(msg_files
|
||||||
|
"msg/IMUInfo.msg"
|
||||||
|
"msg/Extrinsics.msg"
|
||||||
|
)
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
* Load set into _rosidl_generate_interfaces_ and add the dependency for std_msgs:
|
||||||
|
```cmake
|
||||||
|
rosidl_generate_interfaces(${PROJECT_NAME}
|
||||||
|
${msg_files}
|
||||||
|
DEPENDENCIES builtin_interfaces std_msgs
|
||||||
|
)
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Build Colcon Workspace
|
||||||
|
* Move to root of workspace: `cd ~/<path_to_ws>`
|
||||||
|
* Run build: `colcon build`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Test and Verify
|
||||||
|
* Run publisher: `ros2 topic pub /chatter <pkg_name>/msg/<custom_msg_file>`
|
||||||
|
* Run subscriber: `ros2 topic echo /chatter`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
You should see your custom msg being published and received, including the header.
