We ran into similar issues on our dependent projects that change often. What we did was in the dependency itself in the ivy file. We added changing="true" to the dependency like this:
<dependency name="project_that_changes_alot" rev="latest.integration" conf="compile->compile" changing="true" /> For the dependencies that don't change that often, we weren't able to come up with a good way to tell Ivy how to know when something has changed. We tried using "changingPattern" and "changingMatcher" on our resolvers to no avail, but maybe we weren't doing it correctly. So, I probably didn't help you much here - but hopefully someone more versed in Ivy than you and I can give us a good solution. -----Original Message----- From: Saksa, Steven (NIH/NCI) [C] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, May 13, 2008 1:49 PM To: [email protected] Subject: When I update an ivy file in my repository ivy uses the version from cache. To whom it may concern, I am fairly new to IVY also I am a System Administrator not a developer. Any way we setup a repository and were constantly editing IVY configs and thus had some issues with cache not getting updated. To work around the issue so we were just cleaning the cache with every build to ensure that we got what we wanted. Anyway the repository is fairly stable now and I have time to look into the cache issues. I have included most of my configurations and observations below. Here is the general flow. * Using Ivy 2.0.0-beta2 * Update ivy.xml file to include new dependency * Generate new .md5 and .sha1 files * Commit the file (resolved via url from svn) * Run ant target to retreive the files * Resolve does not download the new depenency * Check of cache directory shows that the bda-utils ivy.xml file is not updated * After much research added ivy.resolver.default.check.modified property to try and circumvent cache * This resulted in not using the file from the site just using version from cache again Anyone have any ideas?
