I created a gtest test class for obvious reasons. I made the necessary adjustments to CMakefile.txt, and the package builds both the node and test executables fine. When I run 'make test', the tests complete with no failures. Then, I made a test launch file (armMotion.test) that contains the following:

<launch>
<test test-name="arm_motion_test" name="arm_motion" pkg="arm_motion" type="utest" time-limit="180"/>
</launch>

In the terminals that I will run this test file and my roscore, I change the ROS_URI_MASTER port to 22422. Then, I perform the command 'rostest --text armMotion.test'. As soon as I execute this, my roscore dies. From the master.log file:


" ... [INFO] 2011-07-07 19:15:35,639: +SUB [/LowerPanTilt/start_velocity_control] /LowerPanTilt/LowerPanTilt http://darpa-arm-gfe:41147/

In another log file: "

You mention that you change ROS_URI_MASTER. It should be ROS_MASTER_URI, but from your log it seems you did it right anyway

Temporary dyslexia.. but I'm glad to have finally incurred the wrath of the robot devil.

Your guess is right. rostest tries to bring up its own ros environment to create an isolated test.

The idea is that you put all the things you want to test in the launch/test file.

Is there anyway to prevent the behavior?

no, there is no way to change this behavior right now. It's intentional -- in order for the integration test to be repeatable, every test runs in a fresh graph. rostest files are just roslaunch files, so you can 'roslaunch' them and then run your gtest by hand.
