with symlink-install if you change code in your source code, it will take effect, you don't have to compile it again (ony with python, not c++)
also for urdf I believe. PS @sansevieria22 please accept the answer as the correct answer, to remove it from the 'unanswered' list.
Yes, You still need to source setup.bash so that the packages / nodes in this local workspace would be available to use. You can add it to your .bashrc file: source ~/PATH_TO_WS/install/setup.bash

There is also an additional very good advantage for c++. When you use IDE such as VScode the navigation funcionality works better. For example, if you navigate from the integrated terminal to some error in a header file, it brings you to the source code file (instead of the install folder file)

Hi base on this question, I would like to ask could I remove the
srclogbuilddirectories aftercolcon build --symlink-install?The reason for doing that is I want to mount a volume (which is the ROS2 workspace) from Host into a docker container.
So, I have to:
COPYthe workspace (include packages),WORKDIRto that path in Dockerfile andmkdir srcrosdep update && rosdep install --from-paths . --ignore-src --rosdistro $ROS_DISTRORUN source /opt/ros/"$ROS_DISTRO"/setup.bash && colcon build --cmake-args -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=ReleaseThis will generate the
installbuildlogsrcdirectories inside the container, which will not be used, as the host volume will mount and replace it.Should I delete it? or will it breaks the packages? If so, what is the best approach to mount a workspace from Host which already built in Dockerfile?
