I've implemented a simpel unit test following the guide here. When I build the code using catkin build everything is fine. But when I build the tests using catkin build package_name --catkin-make-args run_tests catkin gets stuck in an infinite loop. If I remove the nodehandle in the utest.cpp file everything is fine. Help!
I'm not sure if this is a bug in catkin_tools or on my end. Hence I created an issue in the catkin_tools repository catkin/catkin_tools#517.
PS I'm using ROS kinetic, on ubuntu 16.04 (kernel 4.15.0-23).
Heres my code (test/utest.cpp):
#include <ros/ros.h>
#include <gtest/gtest.h>
TEST(TestSuite, testCase1)
{
}
int main(int argc, char **argv){
testing::InitGoogleTest(&argc, argv);
ros::init(argc, argv, "tester");
ros::NodeHandle nh;
return RUN_ALL_TESTS();
}
And here is the CmakeLists.txt:
find_package(catkin REQUIRED COMPONENTS roscpp std_msgs)
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8.3)
project(object_motion_prediction)
catkin_package(CATKIN_DEPENDS roscpp)
include_directories(include ${catkin_INCLUDE_DIRS})
catkin_add_gtest(utest test/utest.cpp)# src/motion_prediction.cpp)
target_link_libraries(utest ${catkin_LIBRARIES})
Additional CMake Args:
-DCMAKE_CXX_STANDARD=11 -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -GCodeBlocks - Unix Makefiles
The build seems to be stuck on this command:
catkin env -si /usr/bin/make run_tests --jobserver-fds=6,7 -j
For the full output:
$ VERBOSE=1 catkin build unit_test_test -v -p1 --catkin-make-args run_tests

I don't see anything obviously wrong. Is it the test that's stuck in a loop, or the build?
Comment by tobyhijzen on 2018-06-12:
The build is stuck.
Comment by gvdhoorn on 2018-06-12:
Can you please update your question with a snippet of catkin output? "in a loop" and "stuck" are two different things.

The timer:
[build - 03:51.2] [0/1 complete] [1/4 jobs] ...
keeps running indefinitely
Comment by gvdhoorn on 2018-06-12:
This seems to be a cross-post of catkin/catkin_tools#517. Could you please not do that? It leads to split discussions in the best case, and duplicated (ie: wasted) effort in all other cases.
Comment by tobyhijzen on 2018-06-12:
@gvdhoorn I'm not sure if this is a bug on my end or in catkin tools. Hence the duplication. I'll mention the connection in the post.
Comment by gvdhoorn on 2018-06-12:
Have you tried running catkin build in verbose mode? That might tell us a bit more about what is going on.
Does catkin_make also get stuck?
Comment by tobyhijzen on 2018-06-12:
What you see is in verbose mode.
How do I run it with catkin_make?
