colcon-lint 0.3.0

Colcon extension for linting ROS package dependencies

# colcon-lint

Colcon extension for linting ROS package dependencies.

This package is an extension of [colcon-core](https://github.com/colcon/colcon-core). Similar to [catkin-lint](https://github.com/fkie/catkin_lint) in ROS, it checks whether the dependencies of ROS2 packages are correctly described in the package.xml.

## Installation

To use this extension, please execute the following:

`bash sudo apt install apt-rdepends pip install colcon-lint `

## How to use

Please execute as follows. The package specification option is the same as other colcon commands.

`bash colcon lint --packages-select <package-name> `

Replace <package-name> with the name of the package you want to check.

### Options

Option | Description |

— | — |

package specification options | The same as other colcon commands. |

logging options | The same as other colcon commands. |

–quick | This option only checks for directly declared dependencies in the package.xml. It cannot detect dependencies that are resolved through recursively declared packages. |

## Tips

To run faster, you can build with the -Wno-dev –trace-expand –trace-redirect=trace.log cmake option.

`bash colcon build --cmake-args -Wno-dev --trace-expand --trace-redirect=trace.log `
