After creating a new package and code in it, I got the one below;

[rosrun] Couldn't find executable named tf_result below /home/aybakana/catkin_ws/src/pcl_tutorials

I tried all sourcing stuff etc. but it does not work.

Does anyone know why it happens?

I figured it out that the reason is that I deleted the part below from CMakeLists.txt file.

catkin_package( ## if you dont add this, executables are not found
  INCLUDE_DIRS include
  LIBRARIES pcl_tutorials
  CATKIN_DEPENDS geometry_msgs nav_msgs pcl_msgs roscpp rospy std_msgs
  DEPENDS system_lib
)

For me, this occurred when I made invalid changes to my CMakeLists.txt. Ensure that the app can compile then try running catkin_make again.

If not, then try removing your devel and build folders and rebuild your application. Don't forget to source your setup.bash file: source ./devel/setup.bash before running your node again.
