Bash only sets env variables temporarily

[ratking82]

Executing source devel/setup.bash from a cell does not work, we get /bin/sh: line 1: source not found. This is not surprising, as source is a bash built in command. Thus, ROS_PACKAGE_PATH env variable will not be correctly set. It would be prudent to set them from a separate shell terminal.

we can add the source command to the bashrc file from inside the notebook (echo source ~/ROS_workshop/workspace/devel/setup.bash >> ~/.bashrc), but I don't know if that has any effect on running jupyter notebooks.
