I am trying to build a ros2 workspace with colcon. How I can blacklist packages?

I am looking for the catkin-equivalent to:

catkin config --blacklist baz

--- updated information --

I tried unsuccessfully the following:

$ colcon build --packages-skip mypackage

usage: colcon [-h] [--log-base LOG_BASE] [--log-level LOG_LEVEL] {build,test,test-result} ...
colcon: error: unrecognized arguments: --packages-skip mypackage

also tried unsuccessfully:

$ colcon build --packages-ignore mypackage

usage: colcon [-h] [--log-base LOG_BASE] [--log-level LOG_LEVEL] {build,test,test-result} ...
colcon: error: unrecognized arguments: --packages-ignore mypackage

Do you have the Debian package python3-colcon-package-selection or the Python package colcon-package-selection installed?

Nopes. That was the issue. Thank you.

There's --packages-skip baz which might serve your purposes. See the docs for lots more including and excluding options.

--packages-ignorecould also be an option: see https://colcon.readthedocs.io/en/rele...

COLCON_IGNORE may be useful. Once you set it, you can blacklist a package until you unblacklist it.

The problem is that some of the colcon subpackages were not installed. After the installation of all the colcon packages that problem is solved. Specifically the one that was missing was "python3-colcon-parallel-executor ".

Therefore, the solution is:

sudo apt-get install python3-colcon-parallel-executor
