Ittay Dror commented on BUILDR-130:
-----------------------------------
In the use case I'm describing, #artifact receives a symbol, so it calls
artifact_ns.fetch to get the artifact. However, the symbol was created with
#group (artifact_ns.foo = group(...)), so an array is returned. Currently
#artifact can't handle it because it can't handle arrays. So #group cannot be
used to assign a set of artifacts to a symbol. This means loosing some
functionality when using artifact namespaces compared to using constant values.
(where 'with CONSTANT_CREATED_WITH_GROUP' works fine since it uses #artifacts
first)
Forget the patch, I was trying to be helpful, but apparently don't understand
the philosophy behind each method. What I'd like is to be able to group several
artifacts into a single namespace symbol
