Question 1

Is HAROS compatible with ROS2?

Accepted Answer

No, HAROS is specifically for ROS1 only. The README mentions that development has stopped for this version, and a new ROS2 version is being built separately in another repository.

Question 2

How to install HAROS on Ubuntu?

Accepted Answer

Installation methods are detailed in the INSTALL.md file. It typically involves using pip or other package managers, but always check the documentation for up-to-date steps and dependencies.

Question 3

What kind of bugs does HAROS find in ROS code?

Accepted Answer

HAROS uses static analysis to detect potential issues like coding standard violations, dependency problems, and structural defects early in development, without needing to run the code.

Question 4

Can I write custom plugins for HAROS?

Accepted Answer

Yes, HAROS supports a plugin architecture for custom analysis rules. Refer to the documentation or plugin examples for guidelines on creating and integrating plugins.

Question 5

HAROS vs. other ROS static analysis tools: which is better?

Accepted Answer

HAROS is specialized for ROS1 but is no longer maintained, so for active projects, consider alternatives like the new ROS2 version or other tools with ongoing support. Evaluate based on your ROS version and maintenance needs.

Question 6

How to use HAROS in a CI/CD pipeline?

Accepted Answer

HAROS can be integrated via command-line commands like 'haros analyse'. Set it up in your pipeline scripts to run automatically, and configure output formats for reporting results in tools like Jenkins or GitHub Actions.
