Running Tests in ROS 2 from the Command Line

Build and run your tests

To compile and run the tests, simply run the test verb from colcon.

colcon test --cmake-args tests [package_selection_args]

(where package_selection_args are optional package selection arguments for colcon to limit which packages are built and run)

Examine Test Results

To see the results, simply run the test-result verb from colcon.

colcon test-result --all
