Revision history [back]

The regex selection and skip arguments are implemented using python's re.match meaning that the regular expression must patch the start of the string (in this case the package name) so changing the command to:

colcon build  --symlink-install --packages-ignore-regex '.*connext' '.*cyclonedds'

should have the intended effect.
