Defining material scripts in gazebo 1.9

Hi,

I'm trying to load my gazebo material scripts in gazebo 1.9 together with the gazebo_ros bridge. I'm not sure what is the right way to extend the resource_path. The export gazebo_media_path statements in the package.xml files don't seem to work. When manually creating the GAZEBO_RESOURCE_PATH variable the setup.sh file of the gazebo installation overwrites the environment variable I set. Copying the material scripts manually to /usr/share/gazebo1-9/... works fine, but this is only a hack.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Alex

Thanks for your answer. I fixed it now for my installation. I did the following 2 mistakes:

1.) I used <gazebo gazebo_media_path .../> instead of <gazebo_ros gazebo_media_path .../> in my package.xml

2.) You have to define a <run_depend>gazebo_ros</run_depend> to get the export statement working.

The GAZEBO_RESOURCE_PATH unfortunally cannot be set manually because the script /usr/share/gazebo-1.9/setup.sh overwrites the variable.

adding this to my ROBOT_gazebo package.xml worked fine

<export>
    <gazebo_ros gazebo_media_path="/your/resource/path"/>
  </export>

if it does not work for you can can't you try export it extending the old values (for example at the end of your .bashrc or or the setup.sh file):

export GAZEBO_RESOURCE_PATH=$GAZEBO_RESOURCE_PATH:</your/path>
