Description
Bug report
Required Info:
- Operating System:
- Ubuntu 20.04
- Installation type:
- binaries
- Client library (if applicable):
- rclcpp
While working on the action_bridge in https://github.com/ros2/ros1_bridge/pull/256, I realized that get_action_names_and_types is not exposed in NodeGraph, even though actions are considered to "first-class citizens". I am not quite sure how is rcl "used" wihtin rclcpp, because the function is part of the rcl_action API.
Is there any reason for this? Are there plans on doing this in the future?
