Message constants not working

[pbeeson]

ROS Messages with Constants do not seem to work in rosnodejs. The resulting message type when printed using console.log does not constant any message fields that have been assigned value.

I'll need more information about what you're doing and how you're generating messages (gennodejs, rosnodejs static messages, rosnodejs on the fly).

const rosnodejs = require('./rosnodejs');
const action_msgs = rosnodejs.require('actionlib_msgs');
console.log(action_msgs.msg.GoalStatus);
/* Prints
[Function: GoalStatus] {
  Constants: {
    PENDING: 0,
    ACTIVE: 1,
    PREEMPTED: 2,
    SUCCEEDED: 3,
    ABORTED: 4,
    REJECTED: 5,
    PREEMPTING: 6,
    RECALLING: 7,
    RECALLED: 8,
    LOST: 9
  }
}
*/

I see. I didn't notice that there was a constants field in the message. Thanks
