I (Robert) hope MoveIt2 maintainers (@moveit/maintainers ) will continue from here. You are cordially invited to directly push to this PR branch.

Issues targeted

What changed

Approach

This is an attempt to get CI working again by merging cleaned-up versions of existing PRs, namely:

Closing #1073, #1076, #1078, #1081, #1084, #1072, #1104, #1108
All distros (Jazzy, Lyrical, and Rolling) compile again.

Change Summary

  • Documentation

    • Fix some (not all) broken links in .rst files
    • Remove some more notions (not yet all) of ROS1
  • CI

    • Added builds for Jazzy and Lyrical
    • Fixed and updated CI config
    • Replaced deprecated ament_target_dependencies()
    • Replaced deprecated FindBoost module -> config mode

TODOs:

  • Fix test failures in Lyrical and Rolling
  • Release upstream packages into Rolling, thus fixing the rolling-release build
  • Fix deprecation warnings in several upstream packages of the MoveIt2 ecosystem
  • Fix broken links as indicated by Website build job
  • Perform an interactive rebase before merging to fuse fixup commits with their main commits

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation

    • Updated installation, robot integration, planner, and tutorial links to current resources.
    • Clarified MoveIt Task Constructor behavior, including RViz solution inspection and shutdown controls.
    • Modernized tutorial guidance for dependency linking and workspace prerequisites.
    • Reformatted tutorial documentation for improved readability.
  • Build & Compatibility

    • Improved dependency setup and build support across supported ROS distributions.
    • Added validation for additional release environments and refreshed development tooling.
    • Streamlined example build configurations for more reliable compilation.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR modernizes CMake dependency wiring across tutorials, updates Docker and CI workflows, adds an upstream repository, refreshes pre-commit tools, and updates documentation links and formatting.

Changes

Build, CI, and documentation modernization

Layer / File(s) Summary
Explicit dependency and target wiring
CMakeLists.txt, doc/examples/*/CMakeLists.txt, doc/how_to_guides/*/CMakeLists.txt, doc/tutorials/*/CMakeLists.txt
CMake files replace aggregate dependency declarations with explicit package discovery and target linking. Legacy Catkin and unused dependency entries are removed.
Build environment and CI tooling
.docker/Dockerfile, .github/*, .pre-commit-config.yaml
The Docker build updates rosdep data. CI adds release images, updates action and cache configuration, changes branch triggers, and uploads failed formatting patches. Pre-commit hooks are refreshed.
Documentation and example updates
_scripts/tutorialformatter.py, doc/**/*.rst, index.rst, requirements.txt, htmlproofer.sh
Documentation formatting, links, build examples, executor details, planner references, dependency constraints, and HTMLProofer filters are updated.
Example implementation cleanup
doc/examples/realtime_servo/src/pose_tracking_tutorial.cpp
The realtime servo example removes an unused field.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 2cbfc

The PR restores CI across several distributions but still leaves workflow security weaknesses and tutorial build/install instructions that can fail or produce incomplete installations. It is not merge-ready until these bounded issues are fixed or explicitly accepted by the maintainers.

All distros (Jazzy, Lyrical, and Rolling) compile again. Remaining TODOs:

  • Fix test failures in Lyrical and Rolling
  • Release upstream packages into Rolling, thus fixing the rolling-release build
  • Fix deprecation warnings in several upstream packages, primarily from the MoveIt2 ecosystem

I hope MoveIt2 maintainers (@moveit/maintainers ) will continue from here.

@nbbrooks Robert started this PR and I took it over. He seems to suggest adding lyrical support in the CI. While Lyrical is not yet Moveit2's supported distro, I suggest eventually the tutorial should target to support (ticketed #1116). Having said that, I don't expect CI to pass anytime sooner.

Can you make sure the following CI jobs are set to "ok to fail"?

  • lyrical-release
  • rolling-release
  • rolling-source

With my last commit, both Lyrical and Rolling compiled successfully, only some tests failed:
https://github.com/moveit/moveit2_tutorials/actions/runs/32287419151

As MoveIt should target Lyrical and latest Rolling asap, I suggest to fix those tests and include support for Lyrical and Rolling.

@rhaschke With the upstream Moveit2 being not yet released for Lyrical (tracked in moveit/moveit2#3829), and there are issues with rolling #1118, I'd suggest prioritizing to make main branch compatible with jazzy, arguably one or two of the most used ROS distros at the time (Ref. 2025 ROS metrics). What do you think?

I noticed there are many issues regarding the tutorials (broken links, PRs unmerged/unresponded, outdated Docker img, to name a few). I want to help the tutorial pipeline to be in a better condition, with a focused on fewer versions, ideally just 1 and that can be jazzy.

Once the cycle gets smoother then I'm interested in looking into rolling. Also when the upstream moveit2 is out for Lyrical we should start putting effort in there.

There seems to be a misunderstanding: MoveIt2 is already released for Lyrical and the tutorial sources compiled successfully for all three distros (Jazzy, Lyrical, and Rolling). Just some tests did fail. Thus, we are not that far away from supporting all three ROS distros.

- picknik_controllers is not yet released
- rosparam_shortcuts is deprecated

I see, you're right I was wrong about Lyrical's release state (found moveit/moveit2#3829 (comment)).

I managed to get all jobs pass except for rolling-release, which I cannot easily find a solution/workaround (the job relies on an upstream package that is not available at the time). The job is (likely) set to allow-failure on GH.

would you mind giving a review?

- Bump docker/build-push-action from 6 to 7
- Bump actions/github-script from 7 to 9
Per antigravity:

 The build failure is caused by an API breaking change introduced in Sphinx 9.0+:

  1. Breaking Change in Sphinx 9.0+:
  The signature of sphinx.config.Config.read() was modified to use keyword-only arguments:
    Config.read(confdir, *, overrides=None)

  2. Incompatibility with sphinx-multiversion:
  The sphinx-multiversion package (v0.2.4) still calls Config.read() passing confdir, overrides, and tags as positional arguments in main.py:88:
    config = Config.read(confdir, overrides, tags)
  Passing 3 positional arguments to the new Sphinx 9 signature raises:
    TypeError: Config.read() takes 2 positional arguments but 3 were given

  3. Uncapped Dependency in requirements.txt:
  In requirements.txt, Sphinx is defined without an upper version limit (sphinx>=5.0.0). When CI runs pip install --upgrade --requirement requirements.txt, it installs Sphinx 9.x.
- Replace outdated external link to CHOMP/STOMP
- Refer to new cmake targets
Analysis by Antigravity:

 The test failure in doc_tutorials_quickstart_in_rviz_test_bringup_test.test.py is caused by a cascade of controller initialization failures and an RViz crash when running demo.launch.py in CI:
  ──────
  Issue-1. joint_trajectory_controller Initialization Failure (joints parameter empty)

    [ros2_control_node-5] Exception thrown during init stage with message: Invalid value set during initialization for parameter 'joints': Length of parameter 'joints' is '0' but must be greater than '0'
    [ros2_control_node-5] [ERROR] [controller_manager]: Could not initialize the controller named 'joint_trajectory_controller'
    [spawner-7] [FATAL] [spawner_joint_trajectory_controller]: Failed loading controller joint_trajectory_controller

  • Why it happens: In ROS 2 Rolling, joint_trajectory_controller strictly requires the joints parameter list to have length >0 at initialization.
  • When ros2_control_node loads demo.launch.py:91-95 from kinova_gen3_7dof_robotiq_2f_85_moveit_config, the parameters for joint_trajectory_controller are either missing the joints list or scoped under a different name.
  • Because the controller fails to initialize, the action server /joint_trajectory_controller/follow_joint_trajectory is never started, causing bringup_test.cpp:54-56 to fail while waiting for the action server.
  ──────
  Issue-2. Removed Gripper Controller Plugin (position_controllers/GripperActionController)

    [ros2_control_node-5] [ERROR] [controller_manager]: Loader for controller 'robotiq_gripper_controller' (type 'position_controllers/GripperActionController') not found.
    [ros2_control_node-5] [INFO] [controller_manager]: Available classes:
    ...
    [ros2_control_node-5] [INFO] [controller_manager]:   parallel_gripper_action_controller/GripperActionController
    [spawner-8] [FATAL] [spawner_robotiq_gripper_controller]: Failed loading controller robotiq_gripper_controller

  • Why it happens: In ROS 2 Rolling, position_controllers/GripperActionController was deprecated and removed in favor of parallel_gripper_action_controller/GripperActionController.
  • Upstream kinova_gen3_7dof_robotiq_2f_85_moveit_config in ros2_kortex still specifies the old controller type (position_controllers/GripperActionController).
  ──────
  Issue-3. RViz2 Aborts in Headless Container (SIGABRT, exit code -6)

    [ERROR] [rviz2-1]: process has died [pid 6817, exit code -6, cmd '/opt/ros/rolling/lib/rviz2/rviz2 -d ...']

  • Why it happens: demo.launch.py:58-70 launches rviz2 unconditionally. In the headless Docker container on CI (no X11 / display / OpenGL), RViz aborts on startup with SIGABRT (-6).
  ──────
  ### Recommended Solutions

  1. Update Controller Configurations:
      • Change type: position_controllers/GripperActionController to type: parallel_gripper_action_controller/GripperActionController in the controller configuration.
      • Ensure joint_trajectory_controller.ros__parameters.joints contains the 7 Kinova joints (joint_1 through joint_7).
  2. Add a headless / test mode argument to demo.launch.py:
      • Add a launch argument (e.g. launch_rviz:='false') so tests and headless CI environments don't attempt to start GUI RViz.

fix(CI, lyrical, rolling-source jobs): controller failure due to param file not passed

Analysis from Antigravity:

  In ROS 2 Rolling / Jazzy, when ros2 run controller_manager spawner <controller_name> is invoked without the --param-file argument:

  1. spawner requests controller_manager to load the controller without passing parameter values in the service call.
  2. Even if ros2_controllers.yaml was passed to ros2_control_node on startup, dynamically loaded controller lifecycle nodes in controller_manager do not inherit the controller parameters unless --param-file is explicitly provided to
  spawner.
  3. joint_trajectory_controller initializes with default (empty) parameters, which triggers:
    Invalid value set during initialization for parameter 'joints': Length of parameter 'joints' is '0' but must be greater than '0'
