I'm following this guide to create a custom ROS message type (https://www.mathworks.com/help/robotics/ug/ros-custom-message-support.html).
This is the structure of my msg
path_planning_msgs FOLDER
--- path_planning_msgs FOLDER
--- package.xml (copied from guide, replace w <name>path_planning_msgs</name>
--- Path.msg
Contents of package.xml
<package>
<name>path_planning_msgs</name>
<version>1.1.01</version>
<build_depend>message_generation</build_depend>
<build_depend>geometry_msgs</build_depend>
<build_depend>std_msgs</build_depend>
</package>
Contents of Path.msg
Header header
path_planning_msgs/VehicleState[] states
Then I executed these commands and everything seemed to work (I'm on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS)

Then I edited javaclasspath.txt to add the line

Then I ran the addpath and savepath

Then I closed MATLAB to restart it.
Then I checked rosmsg list but the path_planning_msgs/Path type is nowhere to be found.

Thank you in advance.

Hi An,
Pretty sure the ROS package requires your .msg file to be inside a subfolder called msg.
So your folder structure should be as follows:
path_planning_msgs FOLDER
--- package.xml
--- msg FOLDER
--- Path.msg
Try that and let us know if it works!

An,
That latest error is exactly because you don't have a VehicleState.msg file defined! If you look at the error text it will show you it's pointing at an undefined symbol "VehicleState".
By the way, in future it would be much more useful instead of screenshots to copy-paste the error message text. This makes the question searchable if others have similar errors!

I am sorry for not getting back to you sooner. My team and I were trying to get it to work this morning and have finally succeeded after many trials. We finally got our ROS node!
We were not aware that the Path.msg and VehicleState.msg are supposed to be kept together under folder msg to be generated in one run. Initially we placed VehicleState.msg under its own directory thinking that we would need to define it first before moving on to Path.msg.
In case people search for this issue later, our final structure is
path_planning_msgs FOLDER
--- package.xml (add a build_depend line for VehicleState)
--- msg FOLDER
--- Path.msg
--- VehicleState.msg
We had been on the issue for days and would not have been able to solve it this fast without your feedback! Thank you very much for your help.
