Hi Misha,

as far as i remember the problem might not be the artifact cache, but the 
resolution cache.
The behavior I observed was, that ivy keeps some kind of 
dependency-resolution-cache of recently resolved artifacts. This cache seems to 
have no locking and multiple builds may rewrite files that are currently read 
by another build.

http://ant.apache.org/ivy/history/2.0.0/settings/caches.html
see the properties for repositoryCacheDir vs. resolutionCacheDir

I haven’t had time to evaluate the behavior, but any feedback is appreciated.

Regards,
Daniel

Hi everybody,

We have some projects, like Zookeeper, that use Ant/Ivy. In some situations 
such a project needs to be built multiple times, for different OSes. To save 
time, we do it on the same machine and in parallel (we use docker containers to 
build for different OSes). The main problem in this scenario is when we want 
all these builds to share the same Ivy cache, i.e. use it for concurrent reads 
and writes.

Ivy 2.4 and artifact-lock-nio locking strategy are supposed to address this. 
However, when I attempted to switch to this combination and enable a single 
cache, my builds failed. I've verified that NIO-based file locking works across 
docker containers. I then found and enabled debug logging in Ivy's 
FileBasedLockStrategy (one has to invoke ant with '-Divy.log.locking=true'). It 
looks like locking for artifacts that are downloaded from the web works as 
expected. However, in the end there is a failure that says "failed to parse 
report: /home/cauldron/.ivy2/cache/ 
org.apache.zookeeper-zookeeper-default.xml". See the end of the log file pasted 
below. The file in question contains essentially the list of Zookeeper's 
external dependencies, and looks like Ivy itself has just generated it.

So I am confused - why is Ivy trying to read it immediately after writing?
And, generally, is there any chance for us to fix or work around this problem 
and use the single, shared Ivy cache?

Regards,

Misha
