Ivy silently does the wrong thing when /tmp is full.
----------------------------------------------------
Key: IVY-401
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IVY-401
Project: Ivy
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Core
Affects Versions: 1.4.1
Environment: Linux
Reporter: John Williams
Priority: Minor
I ran into a case where Ivy was mysteriously failing to consider revision
1.0.9999-local of a module called lcc.util.nlp. Inspecting the logs revealed
that the problem was a lack of disk space:
WARN: problem while downloading ivy file:
/home/smcdaniel/.ivy/local/lcc/lcc.util.nlp/1.0.9999-local/ivys/ivy.xml to
/tmp/ivy50398xml: No space left on device
Unfortunately this warning was buried in all the output that Ivy generates!
This suggests two possible improvements to me: fail loudly when there is an
error saving downloaded data (as opposed to reading the data from the
repository), and avoid using /tmp at all for ivy.xml files. (I assume a temp
dir is used to avoid having partial ivy.xml files in the file system, but
that's not 100% reliable on systems where /tmp is on a different physical
volume than ~/.ivy, and it seems unnecessary to use a file at all since
ivy.xml files are never very large.)
