Ubuntu 22.04 BUG: Failed to delete datawriter in nav2_util tests

[Ryanf55]

Bug report

Required Info:

• Operating System:
  • Ubuntu 22.04
• Installation type:
  • Binaries
• Version or commit hash:
  • ros-rolling-rmw 7.2.1-1jammy.20231004.150642
• DDS implementation:
  • default
• Client library (if applicable):
  • rclcpp

Steps to reproduce issue

Follow the NAV2 building from source instructions, with the repo on latest rolling hash 113564965f54009686d521902ff3fcc9d101c5b5.

colcon build --mixin debug --packages-up-to nav2_util
. install/setup.bash
colcon test --packages-select nav2_util --event-handlers=console_cohesion+ --ctest-args " -R" " test_actions"

If you want to build everything from source, you need to check out ros rolling sources, nav2 sources, and clone this in the workspace:

• https://github.com/ros-geographic-info/geographic_info/tree/ros2
• [email protected]:ros/bond_core.git on ros2 branch

Expected behavior

Tests pass

Actual behavior

RMW has an internal error failing to delete the datawriter in test_actions. I already talked to the NAV2 maintainers (Steve) and he said to file the issue here. He sees it in CI, but he says since I can reproduce it locally, to file it ASAP.

We see this in Nav2's CI periodically as well, as reported on the Slack (@clalancette ) It is pretty concerning to us that we again have new RMW errors appearing for really basic tests. This is a new thing in the last few months

[fujitatomoya]

@SteveMacenski @Ryanf55

This issue has been there for a long time? Or just stated failing recently? if you happen know which commit causes this error behavior on Nav2, that would be really helpful.

[ERROR] [1702060366.623059261] [fibonacci_server_node]: Error in shutdown of get_type_description service: Fail in delete datawriter

could be related to Type Description Support... but not sure.

[SteveMacenski]

It’s not deterministic in our CI, so I can’t pinpoint the exact commit. Its been the last few months though.

I'll try to set up a source build of rmw to run a bisect on when I get home in a few days.

[Ryanf55]

Sorry, I haven't had time to do this yet. It might be easier for me to just debug this with gdb because a bisect involves recompiling ros2, then nav2, which takes a while each iteration (158 packages using --packages-up-to).

[Ryanf55]

Here's the bisect report:

• 6.0.0 - doesn't compile in rmw_dds_common
• 7.0.0 - doesn't compile in rmw_dds_common

/home/ryan/Dev/ros2_rolling/src/ros2/rmw_dds_common/rmw_dds_common/include/rmw_dds_common/qos.hpp:242:3: error: ‘rosidl_type_hash_t’ has not been declared

• 7.2.2 - test fails for the same reason
• 7.1.0 - test fails for same reason

If I want to bisect this further, I'll need to start doing the bisect across multiple repos since they are coupled together due to the public API additions. Are there any tools to roll back state across multiple repos, say with vcs? Or, do I manually need to figure out which hashes of each repo correspond to each other?

[Ryanf55]

@SteveMacenski Does NAV2 CI give you any way to look at test regressions per test to see the first date that test started failing? I know cdash has regression reporting capabilities.

From the CDash blog, it looks like you can look at test failure frequency, but not over time.

[SteveMacenski]

Unless CircleCI produces that, we dont have any unique tools

I encountered very similar error, https://github.com/mavlink/mavros/actions/runs/8129217925/job/22234646274 the same code works on Humble, but fails on Iron.
