Variables not resolved in parent ivy file.

[Jason R-J <ja...@reast.net>]

Hi All,

Hoping someone can help.

I have a parent Ivy file, which is include via an <extends> in the child 
file. In the parent file there is a dependency with a variable 
branch="${BranchName}"

This variable is passed in from the ant command line 
-DBranchName=FooBranch but this fails to resolve the variable. If I put 
the dependency directly in the child file it works otherwise I get this 
on my console:

[ivy:resolve]
[ivy:resolve] :: problems summary ::
[ivy:resolve] :::: WARNINGS
[ivy:resolve]           module not found: 
com.something#MySchemaBeans#$(BranchName);latest.integration


If I put the variable in an IvySettings file and set it via a <property> 
it works (as this is how I do it for IvyDE) but I can't do this on our 
build server as easily.


Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Jason

Sorry I might have been a bit quick to post for help. Clearing Ivy cache 
looks like it fixed it. I possible called resolve earlier with an 
invalid BranchName variable set which Ivy had cached.

Thanks.
