foxy bug

[simulacrus]

I tested the foxy-devel branch and found that rqt_publisher doesn't responding to a change in a message. I think the problem is in commit where _change_publisher_expression was deleted but https://github.com/ros-visualization/rqt_publisher/blob/foxy-devel/src/rqt_publisher/publisher.py#L158 doesn't change

This issue is now in the release versions as well. I cannot change the message data being sent form the default values of the message. This applies to version 1.1.1 released on 4/23 and available through the ros 2 ppas.

Default message status:

taken after re-loading rqt and enabling publisher and subscriber.

updated message:

taken after changing message data to true.

Specifically it looks like this commit was the one that removed the change handler 367049e
But this is definitely a bit of an issue, as it makes this plugin near useless.

I have now confirmed that reverting that specific commit fixes the issue. So the removed code was not in fact dead code... Ill open up a PR in a minute or so that fixes this against foxy-devel.
Opened PR #28

#28 fixed the issue, thanks @coalman321 !!

I've released the fixed version for foxy/galactic/rolling:

• rqt_publisher: 1.1.3-1 in 'foxy/distribution.yaml' [bloom] ros/rosdistro#30066
• rqt_publisher: 1.1.3-1 in 'galactic/distribution.yaml' [bloom] ros/rosdistro#30067
• rqt_publisher: 1.1.3-1 in 'rolling/distribution.yaml' [bloom] ros/rosdistro#30068

so the issue will be fixed in next patch release.
