Unable to use Ubuntu 22.04 natively on GitHub actions

[christophebedard]

Description

Note: this issue is related to the GitHub actions infrastructure itself. This simply tracks the issue on the action-ros-ci side.

Expected Behavior

Can use ubuntu-22.04 as the job's OS (i.e., native runner OS).

Actual Behavior

Does not work.

Currently fails when setting up the container:

Checking docker version
  /usr/bin/docker version --format '{{.Server.APIVersion}}'
  Cannot connect to the Docker daemon at unix:///var/run/docker.sock. Is the docker daemon running?
  '
  Error: Exit code 1 returned from process: file name '/usr/bin/docker', arguments 'version --format '{{.Server.APIVersion}}''.

To Reproduce

See ros2/rclc#288

System (please complete the following information)

Ubuntu 22.04

Additional context

Support for Ubuntu 22.04 is in public beta (as of yesterday): actions/runner-images#5490

There seems to be a workaround (for now): actions/runner-images#5490 (comment)

The other solution is to use Docker instead of relying on the runner's OS:

action-ros-ci/.github/workflows/test.yml

Line 420 in 3e4f584

image: ${{ matrix.docker_image }}

Once this is fixed, we can also update the setup-ros/action-ros-ci tests to use ubuntu-22.04: #741 (comment)

setup-ros wasn't installing the right version of RTI Connext DDS on Jammy, but it's been fixed: ros-tooling/setup-ros#486

This seems to be resolved now, so I'll close this.
