Yes, I am getting this now trying to start a python app. Nothing has changed with the code, seems to be an underlying system issue. Were you able to resolve it?

I found a solution that worked for me. The problem are different rmw_fastrtps versions.
Probably Dolly is built with a different version as your normal ros2 foxy system.
To check your available version do:

ros2 doctor --report | grep fastrtps

The newest version for Ubuntu 20.04 and ROS2 Foxy should be:

rmw_fastrtps_shared_cpp = 1.3.1
rmw_fastrtps_cpp = 1.3.1

This bug fix removes the problem: commit
But you have to install it on every system.

To update these packages either do separate:

sudo apt update &&  sudo apt install ros-foxy-rmw-fastrtps-cpp ros-foxy-rmw-fastrtps-shared-cpp

or update all old packages with:

apt update && apt  dist-upgrade

A restart is required after you already encountered the error once!
