Hi,
I'm using Ivy 2.0.0-beta1. I'm have an ivy.xml file that describes
dependencies to build a project and I'm working on creating a build file
to copy those dependencies to an enterprise repo using the ivy:install
task. Basically I expect to;
1. get a project with an ivy.xml file.
2. bless the dependencies outlined in the ivy.xml file.
3. copy the dependencies to the enterprise repo.
4. build and test the project from the enterprise repo.
Is there someway to run the install task directly from the ivy.xml file or
another way to streamline the process? At the moment I'm cutting and
pasting and the attributes are different in each tag so it is not very
efficient? e.g., to describe a module;
dependency has attributes: org, name, rev
ivy:install has attributes: organistation, module, revision
<dependency org="commons-dbcp" name="commons-dbcp" rev="1.2.1">
<exclude org="javax.sql" name="jdbc-stdext"/>
</dependency>
<ivy:install settingsRef="geonet.enterprise.settings" overwrite="true"
transitive="true" haltonfailure="false"
organisation="commons-dbcp" module="commons-dbcp"
revision="1.2.1"
from="${from.resolver}" to="${to.resolver}"/>
You could use an ant macrodef. e.g.
<macrodef name="dependency" description="Macro to install an ivy dep in
the same format as in an ivy file">
<attribute name="org"/>
<attribute name="name"/>
<attribute name="rev"/>
<attribute name="conf"/>
<sequential>
<ivy:install settingsRef="geonet.enterprise.settings"
overwrite="true" transitive="true" haltonfailure="false"
organisation="@{org}" module="@{name}"
revision="@{rev}"
from="${from.resolver}" to="${to.resolver}"/>
</sequential>
</macrodef>
Now you can just copy and paste the dependencies section into an ant
task unaltered (well, you'll have to strip out exclude bits, etc.).
Alternatively, you could probably do something with an ivy
post-resolve-dependency trigger
(http://ant.apache.org/ivy/history/2.1.0-rc1/settings/triggers.html)
calling an ant target that calls ivy:install.
