Leak detector stops working abruptly upon leak detection #240

Closed osrf-migration closed 7 years ago

osrf-migration commented 7 years ago

Original report (archived issue) by Aric Stewart (Bitbucket: aricstewart).

I have found that one the leak detector detects the leak and the checkpoint progresses from 5 to 6 then instantly the leak detector stops working (more precisely /task3/checkpoint5/leak stops being published)

This means if you happen to be walking toward the wall or adjusting or anything and the detector goes off then unless you are prepared to record that location you have lost any chance of finding the leak.

That seems like a complication that is unintended.

I was reacting prematurely i believe. Looking at the code it looked like I was right, but practice is showing me that the leak tool continues to register into checkpoint 6 and is usable.
