Docker-compose wont find package

Question

When I try to run docker-compose up to run 2 ROS noetic containers the package couldn't be found by the container not running roscore.

The master container is used to run roscore and the piloot container to run a python script in a catkin package.

The catkin package is imported trough a external project folder which get imported in the dockerfile. catkin_make is also done in the dockerfile.

docker-compose.yml

version: "2.1"
services:
  master:
    image: sadrifun_master:latest
    container_name: master
    hostname: master
    environment:
      - "ROS_HOSTNAME=master"
    command: roscore
      
  piloot:
    image: sadrifun_pilot:latest
    container_name: piloot
    hostname: piloot
    environment: 
      - "ROS_HOSTNAME=piloot"
      - "ROS_MASTER_URI=http://master:11311"
    command: rosrun sadrifung6 pilot.py 
    depends_on:
      - master

log when command docker-compose up is done:

Starting master ... done
Starting piloot ... done
Attaching to master, piloot
piloot    | [rospack] Error: package 'sadrifung6' not found
piloot exited with code 2

dockerfile used for both containers:

Answer 1

Try applying your setup.bash before running your package at runtime, assume your workspace is under /home/user/Projects/catkin_ws in docker image, try the following command in your docker-compose file,

command: ["bash", "-c", "source /home/user/Projects/catkin_ws/devel/setup.bash && rosrun sadrifung6 pilot.py"]

Notice: the difference of applying the above setup.bash in Dockerfile (image build stage) and docker-compose (runtime).
