I've upgraded to Ivy 2.3.0-rc1, as should be apparent from the "extends & buildlist" thread I started. Now I try plugging in an absolute path to the parent filesystem location. It works in a functional sense. However, I'm seeing the following false-positive warning message, apparently because I'm using a Windows filesystem path:
[ivy:resolve] :: problems summary :: [ivy:resolve] :::: WARNINGS [ivy:resolve] Unable to parse included ivy file C:\...\master-parent/ivy.xml: unknown protocol: c [ivy:resolve] [ivy:resolve] :: USE VERBOSE OR DEBUG MESSAGE LEVEL FOR MORE DETAILS Here's the passage in XmlModuleDescriptorParser where this is arising: //check on filesystem based on location attribute (for dev ONLY) try { checkParentModuleOnFilesystem(location); } catch (IOException e) { Message.warn("Unable to parse included ivy file " + location + ": " + e.getMessage()); } I hope people can agree that showing users a misleading warning message every time they do an ivy:resolve is a bug worth resolving before there's a final 2.3.0 release. I will file a JIRA issue for this. I'm still trying to produce a pared-down use case for the buildlist+extends issue. Once I have that, I'll produce a JIRA issue for that.
