Description

Since the migration to rattler-build/recipe v1, and adding tests in vinca, we are now bundling tests with packages itself, so it should be possible not only to run them while a package is built, but also post-deployment after the package was uploaded (see https://rattler.build/latest/testing/). This would permit to easily catch ABI regression such as https://github.com/RoboStack/ros-humble/issues/274 .

The basic logic could be something:

  4. Open a pull request that references the issue number.

Research direction

Start with the rattler-build testing documentation and the existing test directories in ros-noetic, ros-humble, and ros-jazzy. Determine how to identify packages with tests, download them with current dependencies, run the post-deployment tests, and report failures. Done means a nightly workflow performs these checks and exposes failures clearly.
