             Summary: Incorrect revision of dependencies put in to delivered Ivy files
                 Key: IVY-1485
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IVY-1485
             Project: Ivy
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Core
    Affects Versions: 2.4.0-RC1, 2.3.0
            Reporter: Perrin Morrow
            Priority: Critical


Ivy deliver incorrectly replaces top-level dependency revision with one from a transitive dependency in a different conf.

When writing the resolved Ivy properties into the cache, the Ivy ResolveEngine does not take into account the top-level confs. If it finds the same dependency on any transitive path it will prefer the resolved revision of the transitive dependency over that of the top-level dependency even when that transitive dependency is being resolved into a completely different top-level conf. This results in a delivered Ivy file, that when resolved again will pull in the wrong version of that top-level dependency.

Consider the following Ivy dependency chain:
{noformat}
top-level
  [conf1]
    - modA#1
  [conf2]
    - modB#1
      - modA#2
{noformat}

Ivy resolve and retrieve will pull modA#1 into conf1 and modA#2 into conf2, as expected.

Ivy deliver, however, will replace modA#1 with modA#2 in the delivered ivy descriptor. When that delivered ivy file is resolved again (by some other module depending on it) it will pull in modA#2 into both conf1 and conf2.

This appears to be a regression in Ivy 2.3.0.  It did not happen with Ivy 2.2.0.  (Maybe related to IVY-1300?)

We have written some test cases that demonstrate the problem (a diff against the Git repository master) which I will attach.

We're also working on a patch to fix this but so far it has proved elusive.
