Fix sros2 tests on Windows Debug.

clalancette commented 2 months ago

From what I can tell, it looks like lxml has a bug where it doesn't properly track references to objects via the find() method. This manifests on Windows debug as a crash after we have stopped using the object, but I believe that by that point the underlying memory has already been freed. Windows Debug in particular is sensitive to this.

Fix it by doing a deepcopy of the object returned from the find(). This code isn't performance sensitive, so it shouldn't be a big deal to do it here, and it fixes the bug in my testing.

Thanks 🙏

Ideally I'd like to keep separate the behavioral fix and API/signature change to streamline fix back porting to older distros. Regarding the mutable defaults 👍 (hence the frecebtly added file), however what would you think about making all ARGS keyed-args and keeping the order as is ?

Finally is it possible to trigger a windows debug job once the PR splitted to make sure the CI is happy about it ?

Actually, to be perfectly frank we could just leave the order as-is and remove all of the default arguments. This function is always called with all of its arguments. So I think I'll open a separate PR to do that.

Here is just CI on Windows Debug. Assuming this is successful, I'll run full CI on it:
