We observed a similar issue and I found setting up specific/custom transport protocols seemed to fix it for us.
I set up a UDP and TCP transport interface (omitting shared memory transport) which may suggest that the collision/hang occurs in setting up the shared memory space which I assume is probably enabled by default.
So create this DDS profile (fastdds_profiles.xml
)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<profiles xmlns="http://www.eprosima.com/XMLSchemas/fastRTPS_Profiles">
<transport_descriptors>
<transport_descriptor>
<transport_id>CustomTcpTransport</transport_id>
<type>TCPv4</type>
<interfaceWhiteList>
<address>127.0.0.1</address>
</interfaceWhiteList>
</transport_descriptor>
<transport_descriptor>
<transport_id>CustomUdpTransport</transport_id>
<type>UDPv4</type>
<interfaceWhiteList>
<address>127.0.0.1</address>
</interfaceWhiteList>
<non_blocking_send>false</non_blocking_send>
</transport_descriptor>
</transport_descriptors>
<participant profile_name="CustomTransportParticipant" is_default_profile="true">
<rtps>
<useBuiltinTransports>false</useBuiltinTransports>
<userTransports>
<transport_id>CustomTcpTransport</transport_id>
<transport_id>CustomUdpTransport</transport_id>
</userTransports>
</rtps>
</participant>
</profiles>
and then make it available before launching nodes
set FASTRTPS_DEFAULT_PROFILES_FILE=fastdds_profiles.xml
Note: this profile also limits discoverability to loopback/localhost (127.0.0.1) more network adapters can be added)
