fix(ros2pkg): replace deprecated importlib.resources.path with files/as_file

[darshmenon]

Problem

importlib.resources.path() has been deprecated since Python 3.11 and emits DeprecationWarning on Python 3.12, which is the interpreter used by ROS 2 Jazzy and Rolling. This means every ros2 pkg create invocation currently prints a deprecation warning on current Ubuntu 24.04 systems.

There is also a latent correctness bug: the existing code exits the with resources.path(...) context manager before using template_path, then calls os.path.exists() and _expand_template() on a path that may already be invalid. For resources packaged inside a zip (e.g. installed wheels), the temporary extracted file is deleted when the context manager exits, making the subsequent os.path.exists() check and _expand_template() call operate on a stale path.

Fix

Replace resources.path() with resources.files().joinpath() + resources.as_file(), the API recommended since Python 3.9. Move all path-dependent calls inside the as_file() context manager so the extracted file remains valid for the duration of template expansion.

# before
with resources.path(full_package, template_file_name) as path:
    template_path = str(path)
if not os.path.exists(template_path):          # path may be stale here
    raise FileNotFoundError(...)
_expand_template(template_path, ...)           # and here

# after
ref = resources.files(full_package).joinpath(template_file_name)
with resources.as_file(ref) as path:
    template_path = str(path)
    if not os.path.exists(template_path):      # path is valid inside the block
        raise FileNotFoundError(...)
    _expand_template(template_path, ...)       # and here

Test Plan

• ros2 pkg create --build-type ament_cmake my_pkg — no DeprecationWarning on Python 3.12
• ros2 pkg create --build-type ament_python my_pkg — all template files generated correctly
• ros2 pkg create --build-type ament_cmake --node-name my_node my_pkg — node stub created correctly
• Verify no regression on Python 3.10 (Humble)

This doesn't make sense. There's Kilted in between Jazzy and Rolling, and Rolling isn't on Ubuntu 24.04 anymore, it's on 26.04. And this targets Rolling, so I don't see why you'd need to check for regressions on Humble.

I sourced Jazzy and then ran ros2 pkg create mypkg and I don't see any DeprecationWarning. Can you provide a ros2 pkg create command that results in a warning?
