Why isn't Ivy downloading an artifact from our intranet repo? - ant

I've had a prototype Ivy build working reasonably well. I just looked at it today and I'm seeing that it's finding an artifact on my intranet repo but not downloading it to the local cache or retrieving it in my local build, which causes the build to fail.
The build specifies several other dependencies, most of which are found on mavencentral, and one in another repo in the same local intranet repo that it's finding (but not downloading) the other artifact.
I've tried a few times to clear out the ivy cache and run this again, but it downloads all of the artifacts except for this particular one.
First, here is the relevant output from the build, with some minor pieces elided:

The repositories "mavenCentralSnapshots" and "mavenCentralThirdparty" are actually on our local intranet repo (which is also confusedly called "maven central").
Notice that it says there are 9 modules, but only 8 were downloaded. The first artifact in the list, "poc-domain-model" is the one that is not being downloaded, but I don't see why.
Here is my "ivysettings.xml" file:
<ivysettings>
<settings defaultResolver="default"/>
<property name="m2-pattern" value="${user.home}/.m2/repository/[organisation]/[module]/[revision]/[module]-[revision](-[classifier]).[ext]" override="false" />

root="http://<hostandport>/nexus/content/repositories/cditspoc-3rd-party"/>
<ibiblio name="central" m2compatible="true"/>
</chain>
</resolvers>
</ivysettings>
And here is my "ivy.xml":
<ivy-module version="2.0">
<info organisation="com.att.ecom.poc" module="coherence_poc"/>
<dependencies>
<dependency org="com.att.ecom.poc" name="poc-domain-model" rev="0.0.1-SNAPSHOT"/>

<dependency org="com.oracle.coherence" name="coherence" rev="12.1.2-0-0"/>
</dependencies>
</ivy-module>
And finally, here's the excerpt from my build.xml that calls Ivy:
<target name="install-dependencies">
<ivy:resolve transitive="false" type="jar"/>
<ivy:retrieve conf="*" type="jar" pattern="${basedir}/lib/[artifact]-[type]-[revision].[ext]"/>
</target>
Is it obvious what my problem is, or is there something I can do to get more information?

Update:
I finally noticed that the download fails because the exact fully-qualified path doesn't exist on the intranet repo. It's looking for a file with "SNAPSHOT" in the name, but the files in the directory only have timestamps, not "SNAPSHOT".
I noticed the following discussion, which seems relevant: enter link description here .
As a result of this, I modified by "ivysettings.xml" to the following slightly elided version:
<ivysettings>
<settings defaultResolver="default"/>
<property name="m2-pattern" value="${user.home}/.m2/repository/[organisation]/[module]/[revision]/[module]-[revision](-[classifier]).[ext]" override="false" />
<resolvers>
<chain name="default">
<filesystem name="local-maven2" m2compatible="true" >
<artifact pattern="${m2-pattern}"/>
<ivy pattern="${m2-pattern}"/>
</filesystem>
<ibiblio name="mavenCentralSnapshots" m2compatible="true"
root="http://<hostandport>/nexus/content/repositories/cditspoc-snapshots"
pattern="[organisation]/[module]/[revision]/[artifact]-[revision](-[classifier]).[ext]"/>
<ibiblio name="mavenCentralThirdparty" m2compatible="true"
root="http://<hostandport>/nexus/content/repositories/cditspoc-3rd-party"/>
<ibiblio name="central" m2compatible="true"/>
</chain>
</resolvers>
</ivysettings>
Unfortunately, this made no difference, it still just tries to find the "SNAPSHOT" file, which doesn't exist.
Update:
Actually, I realized another extremely important detail in that error where it fails to find the SNAPSHOT artifact on our MavenCentral. Here's the actual excerpt from the output:
:: problems summary ::
:::: WARNINGS
[FAILED ] com.att.ecom.poc#poc-domain-model;0.0.1-SNAPSHOT!poc-domain-model.jar(bundle): (0ms)
==== shared: tried

==== public: tried
http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/com/att/ecom/poc/poc-domain-model/0.0.1-SNAPSHOT/poc-domain-model-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar
What I should have noticed from this is that it isn't even trying to get the artifact from my snapshot repository at all. It's failing to find it on the public mavencentral, not mine. That tells me there's something wrong with my "ivysettings.xml", but I don't know what it would be.

Please check the comment above as well:
however in addition: change your ivy.xml to the following:
<ivy-module version="2.0">
<info organisation="com.att.ecom.poc" module="coherence_poc"/>
<dependencies>
<dependency org="com.att.ecom.poc" name="poc-domain-model" rev="0.0.1-SNAPSHOT"/>
</dependencies>
</ivy-module>
And then enable check the "ivy console" with debug level. (Ivy console in the console view of Eclipse) if possible.

Dependency on Multiple Artifacts of the Same Module

I just did a very ugly hack.
I have a module A which produces two jars.
moduleA.jar and moduleA.test.jar
The module.test.jar is used by other projects in the same repository and won't be published further to other repositories.
I added this to ivy.xml of moduleA
<publications>
<artifact name="moduleA" type="jar" ext="jar" conf="compile"/>
<artifact name="moduleA.test" type="jar" ext="jar" conf="test"/>
</publications>
How can I consume that in moduleB . I understand that Maven doesn't support multiple artifacts per module, and I read somewhere that this is supported by IVY.
I just don't seem to get it write.
I tried this in ivy.xml of moduleB:
<dependency org="my.org" name="moduleA" rev="SNAPSHOT" conf="compile,test->default,test" />
<dependency org="my.org" name="moduleA.test" rev="SNAPSHOT" conf="compile,test->default,test" />
But this obviously didn't work, since 'name' is the name of the module not artifact. I had a work around using the type attribute:
in moduleA:
<artifact name="moduleA" type="test.jar" ext="jar" conf="test"/>
and in moduleB:
<dependency org="my.org" name="moduleA" rev="SNAPSHOT" conf="compile,test->default,test" />
This worked, but looks very ugly. since I have to produce the file in ANT looking like this:
moduleA-SNAPSHOT.test.jar
any neat solution to depending on multiple artifacts of the same module?
This question id different from:
How do I solve Multiple artifacts of the module X are retrieved to the same file in Apache Ivy?
Assuming that Module A looks like this:
<info organisation="my.org" module="moduleA" .../>
<configurations>
<conf name="compile description="???"/>
<conf name="test description="???"/>
..
</configurations>
<publications>
<artifact name="moduleA" type="jar" ext="jar" conf="compile"/>
<artifact name="moduleA.test" type="jar" ext="jar" conf="test"/>
</publications>
The following Module B declaration will retrieve the moduleA.jar
<dependency org="my.org" name="moduleA" rev="latest.integration" conf="default->compile" />
The following Module B declaration will retrieve the moduleA.test.jar
<dependency org="my.org" name="moduleA" rev="latest.integration" conf="default->test" />
It's the configuration mappings that make it work:
default->compile
^ ^
| |
Local configuration
|
Remote configuration
The local configuration doesn't have to be "default". Obviously if Module B also uses configurations, you could use one of those.

Using status in IVY, works for the "less stable one" (ie integration), not for the other (ie milestone and release)

I am trying desperately to have this working. I've spent the whole day on it and can't find what's wrong.
It seems that IVY can resolve only the "less stable status" in the statuses list, ie for the default ones, only integration not milestone or release.
This is a test ant file.
<project name="helicopter" basedir="." xmlns:ivy="antlib:org.apache.ivy.ant">
<ivy:settings file="ivysettings.xml" id="ivy.instance"/>
<!-- the call to resolve is not mandatory, retrieve makes an implicit call if we don't -->
<ivy:resolve file="ivy.xml" />
<ivy:retrieve type="swc" pattern="../libs/bin/[module]-[revision].[ext]" />
<ivy:retrieve type="src" pattern="../libs/src/[module]-[revision].[ext]" />
</project>
This is the ivysettings.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ivysettings>
<settings defaultResolver="local" />
<resolvers>
<filesystem
name="local"
checkmodified="true">
<artifact pattern="C:/repository/[organisation]/[module]/[revision]/[artifact].[ext]" />
</filesystem>
</resolvers>
</ivysettings>
And this is the ivy.xml
<ivy-module
version="2.0"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="http://ant.apache.org/ivy/schemas/ivy.xsd"
>
<info
organisation="com.org"
module="moduleA"
status="integration"
/>
<publications>
<artifact type="swf" ext="swf" />
<artifact type="src" ext="src.zip" />
</publications>
<dependencies>
<dependency org="com.org" name="moduleB" rev="latest.integration">
<artifact name="moduleB" type="swc" ext="swc" />
<artifact name="moduleB" type="src" ext="src.zip" />
</dependency>
</dependencies>
</ivy-module>
And the moduleB ivy.xml in the repository (folder)
<info organisation="com.org" module="moduleB" revision="0.0.5.0" status="integration" publication="20111201174403"/>
<publications>
<artifact type="swc" ext="swc"/>
<artifact type="src" ext="src.zip"/>
</publications>
<dependencies>
</dependencies>
So this will work, the moduleB will be downloaded all right.
Now if I edit the ivy.xml to get the latest.milestone
<info
organisation="com.org"
module="moduleA"
status="integration"
/>
<publications>
<artifact type="swf" ext="swf" />
<artifact type="src" ext="src.zip" />
</publications>
<dependencies>
<dependency org="com.org" name="moduleB" rev="latest.milestone">
<artifact name="moduleB" type="swc" ext="swc" />
<artifact name="moduleB" type="src" ext="src.zip" />
</dependency>
</dependencies>
</ivy-module>
and edit the ivy.xml of my published moduleB (so editing in the repository folder) to be of status milestone
<info organisation="com.org" module="moduleB" revision="0.0.5.0" status="milestone" publication="20111201174403"/>
<publications>
<artifact type="swc" ext="swc"/>
<artifact type="src" ext="src.zip"/>
</publications>
<dependencies>
</dependencies>
it won't work, the artifact won't be found, although listed
:: problems summary ::

C:/repository/com.org/moduleB/[revision]/moduleB.swc
[0.0.5.0 (MD)]
Now the FUN PART!
Before using the defaults statuses from IVY I used mine.
It had the exact same behavior (that's why I tried the defaults one then).
The fun bits is that if I had
<statuses default="status-dev">
<status name="status-stable" integration="false"/>
<status name="status-test" integration="false"/>
<status name="status-dev" integration="true" />
</statuses>
The only latest.[status] working will be for status-dev.
Now if I change the status order to
<statuses default="status-dev">
<status name="status-stable" integration="false"/>
<status name="status-dev" integration="true" />
<status name="status-test" integration="false"/>
</statuses>
The only one working will be status-test.
I' puzzled here... :/
Thanks for any help you could provide.
Cheers,
Xavier
I have created a basic project showing the weird behavior.
moduleB is the module being published.
moduleA is the module getting moduleB as a dependency.
Please update the path to the local repository in both ivysettings file
The link to download the file
https://rapidshare.com/files/1326835940/test_ivy.zip
Wow, that looks like a very strange overloading of the dependency construct. I would stick with a simpler ivy.xml, with a single dependency upon moduleB. Just change the rev attribute at runtime using a property file. That is, coalesce all of your dependencies into:
<dependency org="com.org" name="moduleB" rev="${dependency.rev.moduleB}"
conf="build-release->default;build-milestone->default;build-devs->default">
<artifact name="shared" type="swc" ext="swc" />
<artifact name="shared" type="src" ext="src.zip" />
</dependency>
You can even supply a default value to the property (for IvyDE, for example) in your ivy-settings.xml:
<property name="dependency.rev.moduleB"
value="latest.integration"
override="false"/>
Also, you'll want to edit your ivysettings.xml to include a pattern for the repository to find ivy.xml files:
<resolvers>
<filesystem
name="local"
checkmodified="true">
<artifact pattern="C:/repository/[organisation]/[module]/[revision]/[artifact].[ext]" />
<ivy pattern="C:/repository/[organisation]/[module]/[revision]/ivy.xml" />
</filesystem>
</resolvers>

Apache ivy. JbossAS, dependencies and some basic questions on ivy

I'm totally new in ivy, so don't blame for for rather elementary questions.
I'm working on project that depends on some libraries of jbossAS 4.0.3.
To tell exactly - there are jboss-4.0.3-scheduler, jboss-4.0.3-jboss-system, jboss-4.0.3-jboss, jboss-4.0.3-jbossall-client. So i have a logical question - how can I point ivy to find them on public repository? Or that's the wrong direction of leveraging ivy in this situation?
And another simple question - for example, in the past this project depended on castor-0.9.7, axis-1.3 and log4j - after ivy dependency resolution - I had a lot of other jars like activation-1.1.jar, axis-saaj-1.3.jar, mail-1.4.jar and so on. So it was only 3 jars in dependencies in the past - now I have 10. Do i really need them?
And what is the way to know for sure what do i need of this additional jars?? (after all the project was working with old config - 3 jars).
And what if I have some artifact(dependee project). Other project depends on it, but i don't want transitive dependencies to be resolved. That's only a question of interest ))
This is how i am pulling dependencies now (from local repo), and what i want - to pull them from public repo (if it is possible) :
<ivy-module version="2.2">

Don't know if that can help someway )
The extra jars are produced by transitive dependencies. These may not be needed to compile your project but needed at runtime.
If they are actually needed depends on the dependency itself and your usage of the library. Mail.jar(Java Mail API) for example is only needed if you need to send Mails.
I think it will be quite complicated to really make sure, that you won't need the extra libraries (in the future?). If you are sure now, that you program runs without them, you can just set the transitive attribute to the dependency. And they will not be downloaded.
<dependency org="axis" name="axis" rev="1.3" conf="*->default" transitive="false"/>
I found the Jboss dependencies in the java.net repository for revision="4.2.2.GA". Seems the best option. But I couldn't find the scheduler.

Ivy custom url resolver

I am trying to create custom resolver in my ivysettings.xml file:
<ivysettings>
<settings defaultResolver="default"/>
<resolvers>
<chain name="default">
<url name="scala-tools">
<ivy pattern="http://scala-tools.org/repo-releases/[organisation]/[module]/[revision]/ivy-[revision].xml" />
<artifact pattern="http://scala-tools.org/repo-releases/[organisation]/[module]/[revision]/[artifact]-[revision].[ext]"/>
<artifact pattern="http://scala-tools.org/repo-releases/[organisation]/[module]/[revision]/[artifact].[ext]"/>
</url>
<!--<ibiblio name="ibiblio"/>-->
</chain>
</resolvers>
</ivysettings>
As you can see, I have just one UrlResolver that will try to find my dependencies in scala-tools repo. If I specify my dependencies correctly than ivy will try to find it in http://scala-tools.org/repo-releases/org.scala-lang/scala-library/2.8.0/scala-library-2.8.0.jar and http://scala-tools.org/repo-releases/org.scala-lang/scala-library/2.8.0/scala-library.jar (yep, according to my instructions in ivysettings.xml) Obviously, it doesn't find anything. To get thing working I must specify dependencies in this way:
<ivy-module version="2.2">
<info organisation="org.yoba" module="Yoba"/>
<dependencies>
<dependency org="org/scala-lang" name="scala-library" rev="2.8.0"/>
<!--<dependency org="org.scala-lang" name="scala-library" rev="2.8.0"/>-->
<dependency org="org/scala-lang" name="scala-compiler" rev="2.8.0"/>
<!--<dependency org="org.scala-lang" name="scala-compiler" rev="2.8.0"/>-->

Q:How to change artifact pattern / something else to force ivy to make it's job right way?
1: http://scala-tools.org/repo-releases/ scala-tools repo
ivy.xml
I checked the POM for scala-compiler and discovered that it references the module scala-library. This means only need one dependency declaration is required in the ivy file:
<ivy-module version="2.0">
<info organisation="org.yoba" module="Yoba"/>
<dependencies>
<dependency org="org.scala-lang" name="scala-compiler" rev="2.8.0" conf="default"/>
</dependencies>
</ivy-module>
The version number needs to be "2.0"
Included the default mapping to avoid downloading the optional dependencies
ivysettings.xml
I recommend using the ibiblio resolver when downloading from any Maven compliant repository.
<ivysettings>
<settings defaultResolver="scalatools"/>
<resolvers>
<ibiblio name="scalatools" root="http://scala-tools.org/repo-releases" m2compatible="true"/>
</resolvers>
</ivysettings>
If you need to download other libraries the settings file can be enhanced, so that ivy only retrieves the scala modules from the scala repository
<ivysettings>
<settings defaultResolver="central"/>
<resolvers>
<ibiblio name="central" m2compatible="true"/>
<ibiblio name="scalatools" root="http://scala-tools.org/repo-releases" m2compatible="true"/>
</resolvers>
<modules>
<module organisation="org.scala-lang" resolver="scalatools"/>
</modules>
</ivysettings>

How does ivy:publish use the [classifier] attribute

in ivy:publisher the default deliverivypattern is ${ivy.distrib.dir}/[type]s/[artifact]-[revision](-[classifier]).[ext]
I try to set classifier in my ivy.xml under by adding attribute e:classifier="" to the element.
But the [classifier] does not get set?
When ivy:publish runs in my build.xml file it appears to be empty and thereby not included in the file name pattern.
I think I've figured out your problem.
Just to be clear it is the configured resolver that determines the repository filename and not the publish task. Here's my example, which utilises two extra attributes greeting and author in the artifact and ivy filename patterns:
<ivysettings>
<property name="repo.dir" value="${ivy.basedir}/build/repo"/>
<property name="ivy.checksums" value=""/> <!-- Suppress the generation of checksums -->
<settings defaultResolver="internal"/>
<resolvers>
<filesystem name="internal">
<ivy pattern="${repo.dir}/[module]/[author]-ivy(-[greeting])-[revision].xml" />
<artifact pattern="${repo.dir}/[module]/[author]-[artifact]-[greeting]-[revision].[ext]" />
</filesystem>
</resolvers>
</ivysettings>
The values of the extra attributes are determined by the ivy.xml file:
<ivy-module version="2.0" xmlns:e="http://ant.apache.org/ivy/extra">
<info organisation="myorg" module="hello" e:author="Mark"/>
<publications>
<artifact name="English" ext="txt" type="doc" e:greeting="hello"/>
<artifact name="Irish" ext="txt" type="doc" e:greeting="dia_dhuit"/>
<artifact name="Spanish" ext="txt" type="doc" e:greeting="Hola"/>
</publications>
</ivy-module>
Sure enough when I published the files the values of the greeting and author tags were present:
$ find build -type f
build/repo/hello/Mark-English-hello-1.0.txt
build/repo/hello/Mark-Irish-dia_dhuit-1.0.txt
build/repo/hello/Mark-Spanish-Hola-1.0.txt
build/repo/hello/Mark-ivy-1.0.xml
I had a problem with
Attribute classifier is not allowed to appear in element 'artifact'
I simply added the "extra" namespace in my declaration and was able to use the classifier.
<ivy-module version="2.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="http://ant.apache.org/ivy/schemas/ivy.xsd"
xmlns:e="http://ant.apache.org/ivy/extra">
<dependency org="orphans" name="vaadin-timeline-cval" rev="2.0">
<artifact name="vaadin-timeline-cval" e:classifier="1.3.1" ext="jar"/>
</dependency>
I believe you want the pattern like so. If the greeting isn't defined it will be left out.
[author]-[artifact](-[greeting])-[revision].[ext]
I faced the same issue and we found a way to get the extra attribute in.
my example in the ivysettings.xml look something like...
<resolvers>
<filesystem name="internal">
<ivy pattern="${repo.dir}/[module]/[author]-ivy(-[greeting])-[revision].xml" />
<artifact pattern="${repo.dir}/[module]/[author]-[artifact]-[greeting]-[revision].[ext]" />
</filesystem>
and in your ivy.xml file i put the following: please note that i wanted the greeting value to be dynamic value everytime i publish something (${someValue})
<ivy-module version="2.0" xmlns:e="http://ant.apache.org/ivy/extra">
<info organisation="myorg" module="hello" e:author="Mark"/>
<publications>
<artifact name="English" ext="txt" type="doc" e:greeting="${someValue}"/>
</publications>
Here is where the trick come in -> In my build file where i call the ivy:publish function, the following attribute have to be set to true (forcedeliver)
<ivy:publish resolver="#{ivy.resolver}"
pubrevision="#{publish.revision}"
status="#{status}"
forcedeliver="true"
overwrite="#{overwrite}"
update="true" />
That's it
