Steps to reproduce issue

After installing ROS1 Melodic and ROS2 Eloquent, and installing ros-melodic-vision-msgs and ros-eloquent-vision-msgs,
building ros1_bridge fails with the following error:

Expected behavior

ros1_bridge should successfully build by not associating ROS1 and ROS2 versions of vision_msgs/msg/ObjectHypothesisWithPose and vision_msgs/msg/ObjectHypothesis, as the types for the field id do not match.

Actual behavior

ros1_bridge build fails since it tries to associate ROS1 and ROS2 versions of vision_msgs/msg/ObjectHypothesisWithPose and vision_msgs/msg/ObjectHypothesis, despite the types for the field id not matching.

Additional information

ROS1 vision_msgs/msg/ObjectHypothesis uses an int64 for the id field. ROS2 vision_msgs/msg/ObjectHypothesis uses a string for the id field.

The default field matching rules, according to the docs in the repo, indicate automatic message associations are only created when all field types match.

[gbiggs]

ROS 2 Eloquent is no longer supported. Does this problem occur on a more recent version of ROS 2?

No response in over two weeks, so closing. Feel free to respond to the last question and reopen.
