Thanks for the report. Could you also share the rosdep command that you were running when you encountered the error.

[enriLoniterp]

yes of course,

I was running

sudo apt update && rosdep install -r --from-paths . --ignore-src --rosdistro $ROS_DISTRO -y

[nuclearsandwich]

I had started to write a bunch more directed questions but each of them has an assumption about what your setup is.

In addition to the command could you provide some additional context. Are you building moveit2? Using a pre-build moveit2 workspace to build more on top or just trying to use it? Are you following any specific guides or tutorials.

Was the current path the workspace root (I'm guessing /home/rosdev/ws_moveit2 from the stacktrace) or was it performed from the src subdirectory of the workspace root?

Is there a file at /home/rosdev/ws_moveit2/install/rviz_marker_tools/share/rviz_marker_tools/package.xml?

In short, I'm rather confused by this error since it appears to be a disconnect between the detection of a catkin package and the presence of a package.xml where one is expected so figuring out the environment that replicates this issue will be what helps us diagnose it.

[enriLoniterp]

hi, i'm just following the tutorial to build moveit project as described in the official page.
But it second time i used rosdep command in the root of my workspace.

Thank you for the suggestion, i've seen that package.xml is a link broken:
Link (broken) (inode/symlink).

Could it be something usefull?

Hope i'm helping!

I just faced the same problem:

 apt-get update -y     && rosdep update &&   rosdep install --from-paths /ws/src --ignore-packages-from-source -y --skip-keys "as_ros_test_utils"

This is kind of strange because it happens only on my computer, running this on our CI works fine.

[ralwing]

Seems like the problem lies in existance of install folder under the src folder. The as_ros_test_utils is then seen twice.
