How to fix ROS2 error controller_interfaceConfig.cmake on Ubuntu
Problem
When trying to build some ROS package using colcon build
, you see an error message such as
CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:10 (find_package):
By not providing "Findcontroller_interface.cmake" in CMAKE_MODULE_PATH this
project has asked CMake to find a package configuration file provided by
"controller_interface", but CMake did not find one.
Could not find a package configuration file provided by
"controller_interface" with any of the following names:
controller_interfaceConfig.cmake
controller_interface-config.cmake
Add the installation prefix of "controller_interface" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH
or set "controller_interface_DIR" to a directory containing one of the
above files. If "controller_interface" provides a separate development
package or SDK, be sure it has been installed.
Solution
Install the ros-<distro>-controller-interface
package. For example, for ROS2 Jazzy, run
sudo apt install ros-jazzy-controller-interface
