[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IVY-357?page=comments#action_12459625 ] Iain Coulter commented on IVY-357: ----------------------------------
This is only half fixed in my opinion, I've only just started using Ivy but did create the following setup. Module A has a zip file which I can set to automatically unzip during the resolve but any dependent zips do not get unzipped. Would it be possible to create a trigger for retrieve so that when I do a retrieve I can invoke an ant task (like is available for resolve) and also for any dependencies (ie retrieve module A and dependency B, both are zips so using a trigger for zip files both will be unzipped to a location of my choice) > Update -Automatically invoke Any build scripts for dependencies > --------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: IVY-357 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IVY-357 > Project: Ivy > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: Ant > Reporter: Iain Coulter > Assigned To: Xavier Hanin > Fix For: 1.4-RC1 > > > See this forum thread for more details: http://jayasoft.org/node/218 > The following is from one message in that thread: > A resolver that wraps another resolver but also can invoke an ant build > script for a dependency if an Ant script is available. The build script would > be invoked at most once per build for each dependency. Something like this: > 1. Need latest version for dependency "A". > 2. Is there an Ant script for dependency "A"? > - If yes: invoke script if it has not yet been invoked for this build > 3. Call wrapped resolver to actually retrieve the published artifact(s). > Note: I don't think this would apply if a specific version is being > referenced - only if something like "test.integration" is being referenced? > The trick then would be to figure out if a) a dependency has an Ant build > script, b) where the script is located, and c) what target to call on the > script. > Then, all I do is tell Ivy to resolve in my main Ant build and it will do the > rest to ensure that all my dependencies are up-to-date. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
