Can Caches Be Associated with Specific Resolvers?
Hi,
I was looking over the details of IVY 2 Beta 2 the other day and I had
one question.
It looks like one can set up caches that have affinity to particular
types of files, or patterns. On the other hand, can one define a
specific cache per resolver regardless of pattern (this would seem to be
the other dimension people would consider) ?

Indeed, this is bad. Please open an issue to ask to raise an error in
such a case.

After further testing, what I found is there was a mismatch between the
cache I defined and the one I referenced. So naturally the cache did
not get referenced. The interesting thing however is the invalid cache
reference did not cause Ivy to warn or fail, like it does when you
specify other invalid elements (like a resolver for example).

Despite the bad documentation, the cache attribute should work on all
resolvers. We even have a unit test for that. Could you detail what
you tested and what happened?

The documentation of <resolver> doesn't say anything about a 'cache'
attribute. But it seems there is a set method for 'cache' on resolver,
also I notice the documentation of <cache> says this:
"The default cache instance will still be defined as long as at least
one dependency resolver does not declare which cache manager to use."
In my testing, the attribute didn't have any effect, but maybe it's
still a work in progress.

Great! Beta is here for that: feedback before changes go final.

Woohoo! That's Fantastic Xavier. I am looking forward to cleaning up the
workarounds I put in place.
I will provide any feedback as I work through trying this.
Thanks so much.

Actually, the former is not possible (pattern affinity) but the latter
is... it seems we "just" forgot to update the documentation on the
resolvers page: with beta 2 all resolvers have a cache attribute, which
allow to give the name of the cache instance to associate with the
resolver. With pluggable caches, it's a great improvement to Ivy
flexibility!
