Build from source on Foxy error

[matheus-ps]

Hello!

I'm trying to build from source on Foxy this cloudwatchmetrics-ros2 package. I am currently experience an error with a CMakeLists file that are giving this feedback in the ament_export_libraries() function as described below:

CMake Error at /opt/ros/foxy/share/ament_cmake_export_libraries/cmake/ament_export_libraries.cmake:83 (get_target_property):
  INTERFACE_LIBRARY targets may only have whitelisted properties.  The
  property "IMPORTED_LOCATION" is not allowed.
Call Stack (most recent call first):
  CMakeLists.txt:126 (ament_export_libraries)


CMake Error at /opt/ros/foxy/share/ament_cmake_export_libraries/cmake/ament_export_libraries.cmake:90 (get_target_property):
  INTERFACE_LIBRARY targets may only have whitelisted properties.  The
  property "IMPORTED_LOCATION__imported_configurations-NOTFOUND" is not
  allowed.
Call Stack (most recent call first):
  CMakeLists.txt:126 (ament_export_libraries)

Do you guys know what this property is supposed to do? I look into the CMake docs, but I did not found anything useful.
There are any plans to port this package to Foxy anytime soon? The docs say that Dashing will only be supported until April of 2021.

@matheus-ps have you had any luck with this? We are making a move to Foxy and this package and the cloudwatch logger aren't built for Foxy either.

Hi @matheus-ps @mr337 ! Have you had any updates with this?

[mr337]

@jginesclavero nope and I wouldn't invest any more time into it. They are deprecating these modules, see the notice on top of this page https://docs.aws.amazon.com/robomaker/latest/dg/cloud-services-integration.html

FYI they are deprecating the deployment via RoboMaker in favor of GreenGrassv2.
