It's undecided if we'll allow message types with more than three parts. There's an open proposal that there could be more than three: ros2/design#220 |

This logic doesn't seem to make any sense. In which case would not middle_module be True?

Perhaps we should just support any number of parts, e.g. '.'.join([package_name] + message_name[:-1]).

Does it not generally make sense to unify this logic and have it in a central place? I know of at least one more other location where we duplicate the same logic:

Yes. There's a TODO at the top of this function. I'm not sure what package it should belong in (or if a new package needs to be created).

@davidhodo will you be able to address the feedback on this PR? |

Yes. Sorry for the long delay. I will try to get it done this week. |

Attempts to solve issue #277. The middle module name is parsed from the message type rather than being hardcoded as .msg.
