[jira] [Comment Edited] (IVY-1603) Latest version matcher fails when found branch is empty

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IVY-1603?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17098632#comment-17098632 ]

----------------------------------------------------------

Hi [~jaikiran] , my apologies for ignoring this for so long! In this case, the ivy.xml with the empty branch name was generated by another team at the company I used to work for; loosely speaking, they produced the Ivy artifacts, and I consumed them.

As you might expect, I was able to work around this by inserting branch="" when specifying my dependencies. :D

If it makes sense to consider an empty string as a valid branch name (I'm not familiar enough with Ivy to be qualified to comment any further on that!), then I think your suggestion of improving the error message would be enough to close this.

Thanks!

EDIT: Wow, I managed to ignore this issue for nearly a whole year. Eeep.

> Resolving a latest.integration revision fails when the found dependency contains an empty string for a branch. The cryptic error message looks something like:
> {noformat}
> [ivy:resolve]   java.text.ParseException: inconsistent module descriptor file found in '[redacted]ivy-3.1.4-rc5.xml': bad revision: expected='3.1.4-rc5' found='3.1.4-rc5';
> {noformat}

> This issue doesn't appear to be present in 2.4.0.
