Hi,

is there a way to interrupt the execution of a ROS2 launch script?

In my case I have a lifecycle node managed by a lifecycle launch script. I would like to stop the execution of the script if the lifecycle node reaches the finalized state:

[...]

node_finalized_state_handler = RegisterEventHandler(
        OnStateTransition(
            target_lifecycle_node = node,
            goal_state = 'finalized',
            entities = [
                # Log
                LogInfo( msg = "'NODE' reached the 'FINALIZED' state." ),
                ***** INSERT SOMETHING HERE TO EXIT??? *****
            ],
        )
    )

[...]

# Add the actions to the launch description.
# The order they are added reflects the order in which they will be executed.
ld.add_action( node_inactive_from_unconfigured_state_handler )
ld.add_action( node_inactive_from_active_state_handler )
ld.add_action( node_active_state_handler )
ld.add_action( node_finalized_state_handler )
ld.add_action( node )
ld.add_action( node_configure_trans_event)

return ld

I cannot find a solution...

Thank you Walter

Update: I found the OpaqueFunction action and it seems that I can use it to call sys.exit, but the script still remains active because the Node is still running and "waiting" in the finalized state. So before using sys.kill I need to kill the running Node... how?

I would recommend you emit the shutdown event, e.g.:
