Description
Desired behavior
We currently have a lot of repeated boilerplate code in each library that generates the conf/*.yaml and cmd*.rb files. It would be nice to provide some cmake helper functions. We could install that with ign-tools since it is related to this package.
For example in ign-transport:
- https://github.com/ignitionrobotics/ign-transport/blob/ignition-transport11_11.0.0/conf/CMakeLists.txt
- https://github.com/ignitionrobotics/ign-transport/blob/ignition-transport11_11.0.0/src/cmd/CMakeLists.txt#L63-L108
and also in ign-plugin
- https://github.com/ignitionrobotics/ign-plugin/blob/0da6f078a3b98c3ac962378272dd29c80b70b119/loader/conf/CMakeLists.txt
- https://github.com/ignitionrobotics/ign-plugin/blob/0da6f078a3b98c3ac962378272dd29c80b70b119/loader/src/cmd/CMakeLists.txt
The helper functions should be able to generate separate files for installation and testing.
Alternatives considered
- We could add cmake helper functions to ign-cmake.
- We could continue with the current approach that involves lots of duplicate code.
