Missing opencv_test dependency?

[bit-pirate]

Hi there!

Once of my Turtlebot apps, which I am trying to get running crashes due to a missing dependency in cv_bridge. It is pulling in opencv_tests(*), which are not listed in the package.xml.

(*) in cv_bridge/src/cv_bridge/cv_bridge.py

import roslib
roslib.load_manifest('opencv_tests')
import rostest
import rospy
import unittest

import sensor_msgs.msg
import cv

Is that a bug or am I missing something?

PS: Here is the original bug: turtlebot/turtlebot_apps#23
PPS: In case opencv_tests is really needed, will you release it as well?

wow, nice. opencv_tests is just a bunch of tests, no application or library. So I do not see why cv_bridge depends on it.
Can you please remove the second line "roslib.load_manifest('opencv_tests')" and tell me if that works for you ? thx

I can confirm that removing the second lines causes the package to run.

thx for the bug report. 1.9.11 fixes that.

Cool! I couldn't thoroughly test it, since I'm struggling with Groovy and OpenNi here. But at least I can state, that the program was runnable with the opencv_tests dependency removed.
