Running the tests currently takes 39 minutes (9 minutes for install-deps.sh, 29 minutes for catkin build), because the whole mobipick stack and all its dependencies are cloned and built. To make this viable, we should reduce this time by a lot (like with the Docker method that's currently used in the mobipick gitlab CI).

Also, a test in robot_api is currently failing; reported at https://git.ni.dfki.de/acting/robot_api/-/merge_requests/13 .

Can't you provide a docker image with some basics (at least the mir-100 stack or an image that has already called install-deps.sh) and not rebuild everything all the time?

Yes, that's what I meant with "the Docker method that's currently used in the mobipick gitlab CI" (that sentence was more a note for myself and thus a little cryptic). What it means is: For the mobipick repository, I build a Docker image only whenever the dependencies change (takes around 25 minutes), and then the regular builds are quick and not as error-prone (take around 2-3 minutes):

However, this currently only runs in the fork of mobipick on our private GitLab instance, not on GitHub yet. I just haven't had time yet to convert that to GitHub actions, and then build on top of that for the mobipick_labs repo. Pull requests welcome! ;-)
