ivyDE unable to Parse correct ivy.xml file

[James Mochel <jm...@clearstorysystems.com>]

I discovered something interesting today. IvyDE 1.2.0 appears to be
unable to parse a correct ivy.xml (that uses configurations/include )
such as the following:



<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl"
href="http://www.jayasoft.fr/org/ivyrep/ivy-doc.xsl"?>

<ivy-module version="1.3">
    <info 
        organisation="clearstory"
        module="css-utils"
        status="integration">
          </info>
          <configurations>
                   <include file="../../common-build/common-
configurations.xml"/> 
          </configurations>
    <publications>
          <artifact name="css-utils" type="jar" ext="jar"/>
          <artifact name="css-utils-test" type="jar" ext="jar"/>
    </publications>                             
          <dependencies>
                   <dependency org="clearstory" name="ems-common" c
onf="build" rev="latest.integration"/> 

                   <dependency org="jboss" name="jboss-j2ee" rev="4.0.0"
conf="build->master(*)"/>
                   <dependency org="sun" name="javamail" rev="1.4"/>
                  <dependency org="sun" name="jaf" rev="1.1"/>
          </dependencies>
</ivy-module>



If the ivy.xml is not already in use IvyDE will not even recognize it
AND if you remove the <include> tag and use the ivy.xml file as a
library in IvyDE it will load correctly BUT the minute the <include> tag
is added back you get the following message:


Parse exception in c:\code\ems-trunk\components\css-util\ivy.xml
problem occurred while parsing ivy file. Message: 
c:\eclipse-installations\3.3M5\eclipse\..\..\common-build\common-configu
rations.xml (The system cannot find the path specified) in
file:/c:/code/ems-trunk/components\css-util\ivy.xml


Which, as you can see, looks like the ivy.xml is being resolved against
the Eclipse installation folder rather than the parent folder of the
ivy.xml file. 

 

The ANT version of the build behaves correctly and finds the
common-configurations.xml file.

 

Any suggestions for how to work around this for now ?

 

Thanks

Ah, damned relative paths. As you may know, relative paths are very well
supported in Ivy, there are several open issues in JIRA about that. I hope
this will be improved in next version.
For the moment, I would recommend to use an absolute path. Remember that you
can use Ivy variables in your ivy file, so your configuration file can be
relative to your ivyconf directory for example:
<include file="${ivy.conf.dir}/common-configurations.xml"/>
