Rolling CI fails

[Flova]

Description

The build step in the rolling ci fails with what looks like a missing source command. The same CI setup passes the build step just fine for iron and humble. The failing package only contains some message descriptions.

Expected Behavior

The build of the messages should pass.

Actual Behavior

The build results in this error, which seems like ros isn't sourced correctly.

the error is from https://github.com/ros-sports/ipm but is also happening in other repos ros-sports/humanoid_base_footprint#51 and doesn't seem to be package specific.

To Reproduce

** Steps to reproduce the behavior, e.g.

1. Add a ros-action-ci targeting ROS rolling to your GitHub actions
2. Run the CI
3. See failed CI

System (please complete the following information)

• OS: Ubuntu
• ROS 2 Distro: rolling

@clalancette, @nuclearsandwich Any thoughts, why ament_cmake package not found on the Rolling ros-action-ci scripts?

[christophebedard]

This is probably related to the move to Ubuntu 24.04. There's an open PR on standby for that, but it might still need some adjustments. I won't have access to a computer until this upcoming Monday, though.

[berndpfrommer]

I have similar issues (only on rolling, works with iron and humble). For rolling it finds some ament stuff, but doesn't find the ament_clang_format_cmake package. Using setup-ros@0.7.1 and action-ros-ci@0.3.5.
I'm confused what to use as the build image. I use ubuntu-latest, but since noble has not been release yet, wouldn't that default to jammy, an OS that rolling already has transitioned away from?

[berndpfrommer]

In the case of ament_cmake_clang_format not found, this is due to ros-rolling-ament-cmake-clang-format not being installed during the setup phase. That package should be installed though because there is a dependency on it in package.xml, and there is also a rosdep db entry for ament_cmake_clang_format. The package also exists under rolling.

[christophebedard]

Yeah, you can see here that rosdep doesn't really install any ROS packages: https://github.com/ros-sports/humanoid_base_footprint/actions/runs/8342223887/job/22829915596#step:5:86. From what I understand, that workflow is configured not to install ROS 2 Rolling in setup-ros and rely on rosdep in action-ros-ci to install required dependencies. However, for example, it can't find sensor_msgs or ament_lint_common for Jammy.

This is due to the switch to Ubuntu 24.04 Noble*. rosdep now can only resolve Rolling packages on Ubuntu Noble, not Jammy. For example, I haven't run rosdep update on my system for quite a while, so it does correctly resolve ament_cmake for Ubuntu Jammy and Rolling (but not Ubuntu Noble and Rolling):

$ rosdep resolve ament_cmake --os=ubuntu:jammy --rosdistro=rolling
#apt
ros-rolling-ament-cmake
$ rosdep resolve ament_cmake --os=ubuntu:noble --rosdistro=rolling

After running rosdep update, it can resolve ament_cmake for Ubuntu Noble and Rolling, but not Ubuntu Jammy and Rolling:

$ rosdep resolve ament_cmake --os=ubuntu:noble --rosdistro=rolling

We need ros-tooling/setup-ros#658 and #842 to be able to use Noble with setup-ros and action-ros-ci.
