Xavier Hanin commented on IVY-401:
----------------------------------
I agree, this is very annoying. Error management is an area where Ivy could be
improved a lot, and you point one good example here.
> 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.)
