ROS Library for modm

Repository of generated messages headers for rosserial.

Normally, a pipeline schedule of GitLab's CI updates this repository. If more message headers are required the ROS package can be added to package.list. The CI will then check in the generated files afterwards.

These files can be generated manually with ./rosserial_mbed/src/rosserial_mbed/make_libraries.py from jade-devel branch in rosserial.

Build Architecture

The repository is primarily maintained at github.com (https://github.com/modm-io/ros-lib).

It is automatically mirrored to gitlab.com (https://gitlab.com/modm-io/ros-lib).

A pipeline schedule at GitLab (https://gitlab.com/modm-io/ros-lib/pipeline_schedules) runs the .gitlab-ci.yaml once a week.

In this pipeline, the Docker image is built in the GitLab CI, started and build.bash and deploy.bash are run.

GitLab has a deploy SSH key of GitHub so any changes which were introduced by the build process are committed and pushed to the GitHub repository.

Finally, the ros-lib submodule of modm-io is manually bumped to a new version by one of the modm maintainers.

Manual Build Process

In case you want or need to build the messages manually locally:

Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/modm-io/ros-lib
cd ros-lib

Build the Docker image:

docker build -t ros-lib:latest .

Run the image and mount the repository to /build:

docker run -it --mount type=bind,source="$(pwd)",target=/build ros-lib:latest /bin/bash

Run the build.bash from the repository:

cd /build
build.bash
