Assuming a ROS model has been extracted from a package, this component will generate the appropriate pattern specification file for the ROS package generator, to enable the creation of a test package.

We assume ROS is installed on the machine.
Code is developed and tested so far under ROS kinetic.
The installation procedure follows the standard operations as any ROS package does.
# Assuming ~/catkin_ws is the workspace in which the repository has been downloaded
cd ~/catkin_ws
cp src/ros_test_generator/.rosinstall src/
wstool update -t src
sudo rosdep init
rosdep update
rosdep install --from-paths src --ignore-src --rosdistro $ROS_DISTRO
catkin buildWe assume a package has been analysed using IPA320 tools,
and that a .ros model file is available for the node of interest:
# go to the workspace root
roscd
rosrun ros_test_generator generate_xml -m ../ros_model_parser/resources/cob_light.ros -o check.xml
rosrun package_generator generate_package check.xml
catkin build
source devel/setup.zshThe first operation parses the ROS model and interacts with you to complete the test definition. The second operation generates the testing package.
Warning
the generated test files need to be open to check and adjust the testing configuration. This is particularly the case if a service or a filter-like node is tested (to introduce input& output values in the test file)
