ros1_bridge fails to build

[Anouar35]

Bug report

Required Info:

• Operating System:
  • Ubuntu 20.04
• Installation type:
  • ros1_bridge from source. ROS1 Noetic and ROS2 Foxy

Steps to reproduce issue

1- Clone all workspaces from : here
2- Clone this to bridge_ws sources
3- Build ros1_ws and ros2_ws using respectively catkin_make and colcon build
4- Issue the following commands before building the ros1_bridge, by the same order:

source /opt/ros/noetic/setup.bash
source /opt/ros/foxy/setup.bash 

# source the ROS workspaces
source <ros1_ws_dir>/devel/setup.bash
source <ros2_ws_dir>/install/setup.bash

5 - Build the ros1_bridge using colcon build --symlink-install --packages-select ros1_bridge --cmake-force-configure

Expected behavior

It is expected that the ros1_bridge builds successfully.

Actual behavior

Output from the console:

Starting >>> ros1_bridge
--- stderr: ros1_bridge

The ros1_bridge will only consider interface definitions from packages with names ending in _msg or _interfaces. You need to fix the package names for your packages.

I faced a similar issue. In my case, I do not add any custom msgs or interfaces. I just install the original ros-noetic and ros-foxy. Before the commit 81f8b, I could build the ros1_bridge successfully. After that, the build just failed and the errors are just like the reported one. There seems to be some problems with the new functions for converting between ROS1 and ROS2 generic message.

If you want to build ros1_bridge with Foxy then you need to use the Foxy branch. The master branch only works with Rolling.

Enter the command git checkout foxy after cloning the repo to be sure that you are building the correct version

Given the above, I'm going to close this out. If you are still having issues, please feel free to reopen.

Is it still valid?
