Step 4 - Check client_async_callback

Test failed ❌

The server processes the request but the client never processes the response and hangs forever

Note that with rmw_fastrtps_cpp it works:

Just tested this and second @mikaelarguedas findings. FastDDS works with Step 4, but CycloneDDS does not. Like what Mike mentioned, the request is processed by the service, but the client does not terminate. when using CycloneDDS.

Setup: Docker ghcr.io/sloretz/ros-testing:jazzy-desktop on AMD64, installed CycloneDDS from Debian package.

[clalancette]

See ros2/examples#382, which should fix the issue here.

With that PR open, I'm going to go ahead and close this. Thank you for testing!
