Revision history [back]

In the end, I worked around the issue by adding some extra "spin_once" calls in a loop after my test completed to give the system a chance to clean up before the nodes were destroyed.

As the tests were using a bit of a non-standard setup for the ROS node, I don't have a firm answer for what caused the problem, just that I worked around it.
