Description
It looks like the latest ros_controllers release has a default timeout that's too short to allow Gazebo to properly start up, resulting in the diff drive controller & joint state broadcaster to time-out rather than starting up. Adding an explicit timeout appears to work around this issue.
Type of change
How Has This Been Tested?
Tested locally on Jazzy.
Result before patch: diff drive controller & joint state broadcaster show timeout errors after 0.3s.
Result after patch: both controllers start normally, even when loading a complex world on a RAM-constrained laptop.
