Trigger service call crashes ros_tcp_endpoint Node

[wyattrees]

Describe the bug Calling a ROS2 service of type std_srvs/srv/Trigger will crash the default_server_endpoint Node

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Start a ROS2 Node that has a service of type std_srvs/srv/Trigger alongside the default_server_endpoint Node.
2. Register & call said service from a Unity script.

Expected behavior The service call executes successfully.

Screenshots N/A

Environment (please complete the following information, where applicable):

• Unity Version: Unity 2020.3.18f1
• Unity machine OS + version: Windows 11
• ROS machine OS + version: Ubuntu 20.04, ROS2 Galactic (Also fails on Foxy)
• ROS–Unity communication: Docker
• Branch or version: ROS2v0.7.0

Additional context Services of other types work as expected. The ROS2 Node I am using in this example is a MoveIt Servo Node. The service I am trying to call is /servo_node/start_servo.

@wyattrees i solved it by doing a workaround..

at service.py file i imported std_srvs at the top and then i did an if as follows at the send function

    message = None
    if (isinstance(message_type, std_srvs.srv._trigger.Metaclass_Trigger_Request)):
        message = std_srvs.srv.Trigger.Request()
    else:
        message = deserialize_message(data, message_type)
