Running prerelease locally with pre-seeded workspace builds 0 pkgs

[gavanderhoorn]

Being a dumb user I essentially just copy-paste the last set of commands given in the Run for "custom" repositories section (so to run a prerelease on a pre-seeded workspace).

While nothing complains and the Docker images all get build, in the end it would appear no packages are found and nothing is build and/or tested:

No packages found in source space: /tmp/catkin_workspace/src
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~  traversing 0 packages in topological order:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

and:

Build step 10

Test results of underlay workspace

Invoking: catkin_test_results /tmp/prerelease/catkin_workspace/test_results --all

Test results directory "/tmp/prerelease/catkin_workspace/test_results" does not exist

Skipping empty overlay workspace

This is the contents of /tmp/prerelease before running prerelease.sh -y:

ws/
└── src
    └── ros_buildfarm
        └── dummy_package
            ├── CMakeLists.txt
            └── package.xml

3 directories, 2 files

Which would seem to be the things that the documentation implies should be there.

Before diving into this: is this use of the prerelease scripts still supported?

Ok.

Seems ws should be catkin_workspace.

If this can be confirmed I'll submit a PR.

Turns out that since #585 was merged ws is the correct name.

Version installed using pip3 is not up-to-date with master, so doesn't appear to be using ws, but still catkin_workspace.
