Invalid frame ID "map" passed to canTransform

[gurselturkeri]

I have installed all dependencies but when I launch the file I get an error. How can I solve that?

[rviz2-1] Warning: Invalid frame ID "map" passed to canTransform argument target_frame - frame does not exist

Hey @gurselturkeri , I am suffering from same problem. Were you able to solve the problem?

I had the same issue in Ubuntu 20.04, I changed the launch file and added static_transform_publisher from robot frame to map, then the robot appeared fully.

I added the following lines inside the launch file -

    static_transform_publishers = [
    Node(
        package='tf2_ros',
        executable='static_transform_publisher',
        name='static_tf_pub',
        arguments=['0', '0', '0', '0', '0', '0', 'map', 'ego_racecar/base_link']
    ),
        Node(
            package='tf2_ros',
            executable='static_transform_publisher',
            name='static_tf_pub_base_to_front_left_wheel',
            arguments=['-0.5', '0.5', '0', '0', '0', '0', 'map', 'ego_racecar/front_left_wheel']
        ),
        Node(
            package='tf2_ros',
            executable='static_transform_publisher',
            name='static_tf_pub_base_to_front_right_wheel',
            arguments=['-0.5', '-0.5', '0', '0', '0', '0', 'map', 'ego_racecar/front_right_wheel']
        ),
    ]

The issue is because ros2 foxy is eol and rviz update brings the incompatibility to the software applications, leading the map - ego transformation messed up. The solution is, just use >= ros 2 humble.

Not sure if adding static transformation can still fix the issue if the ego vehicle moves.

Besides, without software update, no one can guaruntee there won't be more and more bugs coming out.
