Creating plugin base in same package

[mrawding]

Hello,

I'm trying to create a plugin package. I want the base class to be in the same package as the other plugins. Is this a limitation of pluginlib? It's having trouble finding the class.

I have following structure.

package

• include/package/base.hpp
• incluce/package/plugin.hpp
  src/plugin.cpp (with export)

Class structure is base_namespace::class A

plugin_namespace::Class B : public A

I try to load B with base class A and I get the error

According to the loaded plugin descriptions the class plugin_namespace::B with base class type base_namspace::A does not exist. Declared types are plugin_namespace::B

Any thoughts on how I can keep it in the same package or examples to provide? Thanks!

I have been in a similar situation before.. You cannot dynamically load the library you are currently in. What does your CMake look like w.r.t. the above source files?
