Cannot start Rviz in ROS launch file

I'm fairly new to ROS system. Every time I wanna start a Rviz node in launch file, it always said cannot launch node of type [rviz/rviz]: Cannot launch node of type [rviz] in package [rviz]. Make sure file exists in package path and permission is set to executable. However, I can easily start Rviz by using rviz or rosrun rviz rviz in terminal. Does anyone know what's going on here? Thank you!

To launch rviz add the following line in your launch file:

<!--launch rviz-->
<node name="rviz" pkg="rviz" type="rviz" respawn="false" args="-d $(find bot_name)/default.rviz"/>

You can also save your settings in default.rviz

Note: Change the name for your bot in the line specified above
