lidar_integration_test()

bool8_t lidar_integration::lidar_integration_test	(	const std::function< void()> &	start_test_nodes,
		const std::function< void()> &	stop_test_nodes,
		const std::vector< std::shared_ptr< Vlp16IntegrationSpoofer >> &	udp_spoofers,
		const std::vector< std::shared_ptr< LidarIntegrationListener >> &	listeners,
		const std::chrono::milliseconds	runtime = std::chrono::seconds{10},
		const std::vector< rclcpp::Node::SharedPtr > &	nodes = {}
	)

Runs a simple integration test: spoofs vlp16 data, runs test nodes, and listener. Normal nodes are run using a single-threaded exuecutor for simplicity.

Returns

True if frequency and size conditions of listener are satisfied

Parameters

[in]	start_test_nodes	Function to start the nodes to be tested
[in]	stop_test_nodes	Function to stop the nodes to be tested
[in]	udp_spoofers	The vlp16 spoofers to run, appropriately configured for the problem
[in]	listeners	The appropriately configured listeners for the given test case
[in]	runtime	The runtime of the test. Actualy runtime is a bit longer to account for threading etc.
[in]	nodes	Normal nodes to also run during test, included for compatibility, generally not recommended to use. These get registered with a single-threaded executor
