Notes

  • Scott did a demo showcasing improved cargo + colcon integration.

Instructions from Scott on reproducing the demo

The Containerfile is really just for setting up a pristine environment for testing. You should be able to use the colcon.repos file on a developer machine normally.

https://gist.githubusercontent.com/cottsay/0a683196c96d1b169ffc8136d5eac79b/raw/Containerfile
https://gist.githubusercontent.com/cottsay/88178b1804a8c2b7af7dc9e40bea97e5/raw/colcon.repos

The .repos file is “living”, so I’ll try to keep it up-to-date as we merge changes. If a branch for one of these repos disappears, that’s probably what happened.

Caveats for the current state:

  • We still haven’t landed the version awareness in pallet-patcher, but it’s super close. The version parsing in colcon-cargo also has some known bugs.
  • Circular dev dependencies are broken when using the sequential executor. Still deciding which solution to go with on this one, but it should be fixed soon.
