RLException: while Running roslaunch about spotmicro

[mike4192]

Are you using catkin build? See the following page for info on setting up a workspace correctly:
https://catkin-tools.readthedocs.io/en/latest/quick_start.html

I just created a test catkin workspace from scratch and checked out my repo and built it and was able to launch without issue.
My commands were:

source /opt/ros/kinetic/setup.bash 
mkdir -p ~/catkin_temp/src            
cd ~/catkin_temp       
catkin init                                
cd ~/catkin_temp/src      
git clone https://github.com/mike4192/spotMicro.git .
git submodule init
git submodule update
cd ..
catkin build
source devel/setup.bash
roslaunch spot_micro_launch motion_control_and_hector_slam.launch

I have followed the above instructions. created a temp catkin ws cloned the repo and built it with catkin build command. even after a successful build. when I try to launch the file I am getting the same error.
RLException: [motion_control_and_hector_slam.launch] is neither a launch file in package [spot_micro_lauch] nor is [spot_micro_lauch] a launch file name The traceback for the exception was written to the log file
I am using ros melodic not kinetic. I have installed ros melodic packages instead of kinetic sudo apt-get install ros-melodic-rplidar-ros sudo apt-get install ros-melodic-hector-slam
is this the problem?
thank you.

You have a typo in your command. You are putting lauch instead of launch

Using Ros melodic shouldn't be an issue for this problem, but if may cause other issues in running the software, as I've only tested in kinetic

[niranjan1997]

Yeah, I just figured it out. thank you. :D I just copied that from the instructions page. please correct it.

Thank you. Will update it now
