Hey there,

just tested the kinetic-devel branch unittests:

SUMMARY
 * RESULT: FAIL
 * TESTS: 0
 * ERRORS: 1
 * FAILURES: 0

If I try to see the point cloud, no points are published. This is what I did:

roslaunch realsense_gazebo_plugin realsense.launch # in terminal 1
roslaunch realsense_gazebo_plugin depth_proc.launch # in terminal 2
Then open Rviz, and display the /realsense/camera/depth_registered/points topic, you should see something like this

Hey, have you able to solve above error? I am also getting the same error.

[SyrianSpock]

Are you using ROS kinetic with Gazebo 7?

[MoTahoun]

@SyrianSpock I got the same error and yes I am using ROS kinetic with Gazebo 7. Is there any solution?

Thanks in advance

[SyrianSpock]

This is weird do you still get the issue on the current master branch?

As for failing the unit tests:

I'm running melodic and using the master branch and had the same failure as OP. In realsense_streams_test.cpp I changed the topic names to start with realsense_plugin and now it passes every test except the last one.

I'm still unable to get the pointcloud working however. I've tried using rosrun tf static_transform_publisher 0 0 0 0 0 0 origin depth 1 to create the tf frames necessary for Rviz, without any luck.
