Hi,

I am running on Ubuntu 20.04 ROS Foxy.

Following the instruction on navigation tutorial (https://navigation.ros.org/build_inst...) to build navigation stack. I downloaded the files from the repo git clone https://github.com/ros-planning/navig... --branch foxy-devel

After running colcon build command, the building process failed while trying to build nav2_util with the following error message:

--- stderr: nav2_util

This build failure is in the tests, which aren't critical to building the nav2_util package. Comment out the three lines configuring the broken test_actions.cpp test in nav2_util/test/CMakeLists.txt and try again. (I actually haven't tried this repo, but fixed a similar issue in the ros-controls/realtime_tools repo; it's possible this isn't the only issue.)

This problem actually originates in a maze of little problems; here's a summary and links to the gory details:

  • The compiler error is a result of the fibonacci action headers in the ros-foxy-test-msgs Debian package being generated by a newer version of the rosidl_runtime_cpp ROS package (v. 1.1.0+) than the actual ros-foxy-rosidl-runtime-cpp package currently shipped in Foxy (v. 1.0.1)
  • It's a miracle the fibonacci action even exists in the ros-foxy-test-msgs v. 1.0.0 package, given that the now-obsolete action was removed from the test_msgs source in git tag 0.7.2
  • Now there are issues in the ros-planning/navigation2 repo and ros-controls/realtime_tools repo noting that the obsolete action needs to be removed in ROS2 branches to avoid build failures
