[jira] Commented: (IVY-830) ivy.dep.file property unavailable before first call, despite being called

["Xavier Hanin (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IVY-830?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12603823#action_12603823 ] 

Xavier Hanin commented on IVY-830:
----------------------------------

The problem comes from the fact that ivy:settings is a datatype, not a task. The consequence is that it is "executed" only when needed by another ivy task. We have discussed several times the issues behind choosing a datatype or a task on dev list, and last time we agreed to undeprecate the configure task, and make it the default way to load settings again. This would solve this issue, maybe it's time to actually proceed with this change.
