The axclient.py documented here is quite a handy tool for quick debugging and testing. Does its equivalent exist for ROS2?

Turns out, a CLI tool already exists which was added in https://github.com/ros2/ros2cli/issue...

Quoting the ticket

  ros2 action send_goal ACTION_NAME ACTION_TYPE GOAL_MESSAGE
  # For example:
  $ ros2 action send_goal /fibonacci example_interfaces/Fibonacci "order: 5"
  Sending goal...
  Goal accepted.

Just to be clear, axclient.py provides GUI, not CLI. I bet those who lands on this question are looking for axclient-equivalent (i.e. GUI), which I doubt exists in ros2 yet.
