[jira] [Commented] (IVY-1359) ivy.xml extends feature complains about Windows filesystem path

["Mitch Gitman (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IVY-1359?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13411063#comment-13411063 ] 

Mitch Gitman commented on IVY-1359:
-----------------------------------

I've submitted a patch for another bug I'd reported, issue IVY-1364: "buildlist task chokes on absolute path to parent Ivy module."
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IVY-1364

I've verified that that fix also fixes this bug. Both these bugs have their root in XmlModuleDescriptorParser.checkParentModuleOnFilesystem not up to now accounting for an absolute path.

>             Project: Ivy
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: Core
>    Affects Versions: 2.3.0-RC1
>         Environment: Windows, Ant 1.7.1 (but should be the same on Ant 1.8.3)
>            Reporter: Mitch Gitman

> I'm trying to use the parent Ivy module feature through the /ivy-module/info/extends element:
>   <info organisation="foo" module="bar" revision="1.0-SNAPSHOT">
>     <extends organisation="foo" module="master-parent" revision="1.0-SNAPSHOT" 
>         location="${env.MASTER_PARENT_PROJECT_DIR}/ivy.xml" extendType="configurations" />
>   </info>
> The property placeholder in the location attribute translates to an absolute filesystem path. This works in a functional sense. However, I'm seeing the following false-positive warning message, apparently because I'm using a Windows filesystem path:
> [ivy:resolve] :: problems summary ::
> [ivy:resolve] :::: WARNINGS
> [ivy:resolve]   Unable to parse included ivy file C:\...\master-parent/ivy.xml: unknown protocol: c
> [ivy:resolve]
> [ivy:resolve] :: USE VERBOSE OR DEBUG MESSAGE LEVEL FOR MORE DETAILS
>  
> Here's the passage in XmlModuleDescriptorParser where this is arising:
>             //check on filesystem based on location attribute (for dev ONLY)
>             try {
>                 checkParentModuleOnFilesystem(location);
>             } catch (IOException e) {
>                 Message.warn("Unable to parse included ivy file " + location + ": "
>                     + e.getMessage());
>             }
>  
> I hope people can agree that showing users a misleading warning message every time they do an ivy:resolve is a bug worth resolving before there's a final 2.3.0 release.
