Problem building lely_core_libraries

[jonaskonig]

Describe the bug When building via colcon build the following output is generated:

Starting >>> lely_core_libraries
Starting >>> canopen_interfaces
Starting >>> roboter_sensor_controller
Starting >>> rplidar_ros
--- stderr: lely_core_libraries

Failed   <<< lely_core_libraries [0.32s, exited with code 2]

I don't understand what that means and how to fix it.

Setup:

• Device: intel Nuc
• OS: Ubunut 22.04
• ROS-Distro: Humble
• Branch/Commit: Humble

Could it be that you are not connected to www while building? Lely_core_libraries package is a colcon wrapper around an external lib, that gets pulled during build.

[jonaskonig]

No, there is a working internet connection. It can't find the reference where to pull from. I re-cloned the repo, but this did not change the behavior.

[jonaskonig]

I am trying to figure out how and why. But after completely uninstalling ros2 and reinstalling it, it now works again.

[hellantos]

Interesting. But great that it now works!

I have the same exact problem. Is there any other way to fix this without having to reinstall ROS2?

Edit:

Not happening when using the humble branch. Only happening in master.
