action_msgs is missing dependency on service_msgs

Bug report

I am trying to build a workspace from scratch:

  ros2/unique_identifier_msgs:
    type: git
    url: https://github.com/ros2/unique_identifier_msgs.git
    version: 2.5.0

Running colcon build will fail with:

--- stderr: action_msgs                                                                                                                                         
CMake Error at [...]/install/rosidl_cmake/share/rosidl_cmake/cmake/rosidl_generate_interfaces.cmake:178 (message):
  Unable to generate service interface for 'srv/CancelGoal.srv'.  In order to
  generate service interfaces you must add a depend tag for 'service_msgs' in
  your package.xml.
Call Stack (most recent call first):
  CMakeLists.txt:30 (rosidl_generate_interfaces)

But <depend>service_msgs</depend> is already listed in the package.xml.

Required Info:

• Operating System:
  • Ubuntu
• Installation type:
  • source
• Version or commit hash:
  • 2.0.2 / jazzy

Steps to reproduce issue

See above.

@christianrauch can you provide the full repo file or commit hash from https://github.com/ros2/ros2/tree/jazzy?

i tries with your repo file, but failed to build with the following error. i believe many packages are missing to complete the build.

root@tomoyafujita:~/ros2_ws/work# colcon build --symlink-install --packages-up-to action_msgs
...
--- stderr: rcutils
CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:162 (find_package):
  By not providing "Findperformance_test_fixture.cmake" in CMAKE_MODULE_PATH
  this project has asked CMake to find a package configuration file provided
  by "performance_test_fixture", but CMake did not find one.

  Could not find a package configuration file provided by
  "performance_test_fixture" with any of the following names:

    performance_test_fixtureConfig.cmake
    performance_test_fixture-config.cmake

  Add the installation prefix of "performance_test_fixture" to
  CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or set "performance_test_fixture_DIR" to a directory
  containing one of the above files.  If "performance_test_fixture" provides
  a separate development package or SDK, be sure it has been installed.

I should have been more clear about my steps. I compiled with --cmake-args -D BUILD_TESTING=OFF.

To be precise, once the file above is stored in a workspace under ~/rcl_interfaces_ws/src/deps.repos, I am importing and building the workspace:

# create workspace
cd ~/rcl_interfaces_ws/
vcs import --input src/deps.repos src/
# build without tests
colcon build --cmake-args -D BUILD_TESTING=OFF

@christianrauch have you fixed this error, I too got this error for the jazzy branch.

No. I guess this issue will stay open until a PR with a fix has been merged.

[Shobinvinod]

@christianrauch Is there any update regarding this issue ?

@christianrauch Is there any update regarding this issue ?

What kind of update were you hoping for? :-) Are you asking if this issue has been resolved?

[Shobinvinod]

I would like to know if you were able to find a fix or workaround for this issue.

[christianrauch]

If you just run:

colcon build --cmake-args="-D BUILD_TESTING=OFF"

with the repos above, using newer versions, e.g. 2.4.2, you will see that this issue is still reproducible.

If you want to have this fixed, I guess you either have to find and fix the issue yourself, or you ask one of the maintainers for help.

[Shobinvinod]

OK thank you.
