Question on multi-module project and ivy local repository & cache

[Vladimir Gubarkov <xo...@gmail.com>]

Hi, dear sirs


I'm working on moving a multi-module (some modules depend on others)
ant project to ivy dependency management.
I more-or-less managed to do that, however now I'm facing a problem.

What I'm doing to resolve dependencies among my own modules is

1) ivy:publish-ing my dependee modules to my local ivy repo (.ivy2/local) and
2) for the depender module I'm perfroming ivy:resolve & ivy:retrieve
to populate module lib folder with jars.

At stage 2) dependee module (pushed to local repo at stage 1)) is fetched.

Now to the problem: when I'm changing dependee
module/rebuild/republish to local repo I'm unable to make ivy at stage
2) replace dependee.jar at lib folder of depender module. It just keep
telling me

[ivy:retrieve]  0 artifacts copied, 25 already retrieved (0kB/16ms)

To make it clear, I'm not updating my revision version while deploying
the jar to local repo, maybe this is the problem. But I don't think it
is reasonable to update revision at every code change.

The problem seems to be that despite jar is updated in local
repository, it's not in cache!

So ivy:resolve doesn't want to update from local repo -> cache despite
file timestamp changed, and ivy:retrieve looks to cache hence not
seeing updated file.
I've tried use ivy:retrieve with overwriteMode="different" option, but
this did not help.

Please advise.


Sincerely yours,
Vladimir

Ok, just informing that I solved the problem with the help of
overriding caches useOrigin option, here are my ivysettings config:

<ivysettings>
    <settings defaultResolver="default"/>

    <!-- just use default settings -->
    <include url="${ivy.default.settings.dir}/ivysettings.xml"/>

    <caches useOrigin="true" /> <!-- not cache local repo -->
</ivysettings>

Please let me know if this is wrong approach.
Still it seems to work for me.
