Description

Adds a -w or --workspace arg to both docker/build and docker/run. This allows for developers to use this container to more easily benchmark changes to the client library by using their existing ROS core workspaces.

docker/build -w <workspace> [--skip-keys "<keys>"] allows for workspace specific rosdeps to be installed in your built container. This does not build the packages in that workspace, only installs the rosdeps so they can be built in the container later

docker/run -w <workspace> mounts the workspace at /overlay_ws and sources it after the base install.

╰─❯ docker/run -d rolling -w ~/sourcecode/ros/rolling_ws/ -t 1
Benchmark results will be available on your machine at /home/skye/sourcecode/ros/ros2-benchmark-container/benchmark_results/rolling
Overlaying workspace /home/skye/sourcecode/ros/rolling_ws at /overlay_ws.

Fixes # (issue)

Is this user-facing behavior change?

yes, users will be able to mount their custom ROS workspaces into the container for testing benchmark changes
