Hi all

I'm working in a ros2_workspace with two packages, interface_package and line_ros2. The code I write in line_ros2 does not change the executables in install/line_ros2/lib/python3.6/site-packages/line_ros2/ after I run colcon build. It has worked on and off today and appear out of nowhere. If I change the code in install/line_ros2/lib/python3.6/site-packages/line_ros2/ and run the scripts via ros2 run, it does change but the moment I run colcon build again, the changes dissapear to the old version.

Here are the "logs":

The logs from interface_package is not interesting since there are no problems with it.

Do you know what might cause this issue?

Thanks in advance!

I suspect you are not adding --symlink-install argument. Try it with colcon build --symlink-install
