I'm looking for a C++ example of a blocking action request. Basically I seek the C++ version of this Python answer: https://answers.ros.org/question/3772...

In other words, I want to do something like this:

my_action_client_->async_send_goal(my_request, send_goal_options);

// block until complete here

Hi @AndyZe, here you can find the C++ version of the Fibonnaci example shown in the previous answer. https://github.com/ros2/demos/tree/fo... Hope that's what you are looking for

Yep, thanks. It doesn't block until the action finishes, though.

    this->client_ptr_->async_send_goal(goal_msg, send_goal_options);
  }

I suspect the answer is to use async_get_result() but the syntax is a little tricky. I wish there were an example.

There is a little bit of information in the source code

/// Asynchronously get the result for an active goal.
  /**
   * \throws exceptions::UnknownGoalHandleError If the goal unknown or already reached a terminal
   *   state.
   * \param[in] goal_handle The goal handle for which to get the result.
   * \param[in] result_callback Optional callback that is called when the result is received.
   * \return A future that is set to the goal result when the goal is finished.
   */
  std::shared_future<WrappedResult>
  async_get_result(
    typename GoalHandle::SharedPtr goal_handle,
    ResultCallback result_callback = nullptr)

auto goal_handle = my_action_client_->async_send_goal(request, send_goal_options); auto result = my_action_client_->async_get_result(goal_handle.get()); if (result.get().code == rclcpp_action::ResultCode::SUCCEEDED) { return true; }
