default_tolerance parameter in global_planner does not working

[jihoonl]

It seems like default_tolerance parameter is not used in global planner package.

makePlan function in global planner receives tolerance but not use anywhere.

Any update on this? It seems this is not resolved yet even after 2 years.

On the other hand this kind of behavior is available in MoveBase::planService service call method. https://github.com/ros-planning/navigation/blob/kinetic-devel/move_base/src/move_base.cpp#L334

May be I can implement a similar behavior here and make a pull request?

@DLu what do you think?

This issue is still present as of today, it would make my life so much easier. Any input on this?

Adding help wanted, since I'm not too familiar with that planner, and it looks like DLu is busy. PRs welcome.

I added my own version of default_tolerance use, it solves my problem when a goal is obstructed. Does it help you in your case? https://github.com/jungladicitta/navigation/commit/b20495241ae81dd1dbeef4f585fb270cf4c8bda2
