How to Edit Configuration in Moveit

Hi, I have a problem with Moveit Setup Assistant. I want to edit that particular configuration by pressing the 'Edit Existing MoveIt Configuration Package' button. Then I choose the relevant folder. But I get an error. The error is: The choosen package location exists but was not created using moveit setup assistant. If this is a mistake, provide the missing file: /home/merbay/moveitws/src/robotarmurdf/urdf/.setupassistant Thank you for any helping.

Please explain to us why you are trying to run Setup Assistant. If you are new to ros, my advice is that you download an existing known-working moveit_config rather than trying to generate one yourself.

Your package to edit should contain .setup_assistant file under its path. For example, if your .setup_assistant is in home/xxx/moveit_ws/src/panda_moveit_config, then panda_moveit_config is the folder to choose.

Thank you for your answer. I understood you. But I have noticed that there is no .setup_assistant file under path. How can I add that file?

Normally the file should be automatically generated when a new Moveit configuration package is created. You might need to find the right package to edit or just create a new one.
