Hi Daniel,

For Groovy there are two separate pipelines for prerelease tests.
There is the original pipeline for non-catking (dry) stacks, and a new
pipeline for catkinized (wet) repositories. Both pipelines are
accessible through the same web interface at
<http://packages.ros.org/prerelease/>.

While the new catkin-based prerelease tests are up and running, there
are a number of regressions with the original tests. We're actively
working on a fix right now, and hopefully I'll be able to push out a
working version very soon.

I tried this today on Jenkins with two very simple dry stacks. They both failed several tests with the same error:

make[4]: Entering directory `/tmp/install_dir/stack_overlay/unique_identifier/unique_id/build'

  /tmp/install_dir/stack_overlay/unique_identifier/unique_id/bin/test_unique_id: error while loading shared libraries: libgtest.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

The libgtest-dev package did get installed. Here is the full console output:

Any suggestions? I use rosbuild_add_gtest() in the CMakeLists.txt, and those tests should run cleanly.
