Hello,
I have a problem with the Ivy artifactproperty task in Ant. I am using Ant
version "Apache Ant(TM) version 1.8.3 compiled on July 31 2012" and Ivy version
"2.2.0-local-20130509001717". I am running this on Linux.
I am resolving an Ivy xml file with many dependencies. One of these
dependencies is a virtual module (a module that has no artifacts, only
dependencies). I am using the artifactproperty task to create properties in Ant
so that I can refer to them later. The problem I have is that the virtual
module does not get a property set, however all the artifacts do. When I try to
echo the value, it comes back with:
[echo] MYVIRTUALARTIFACT.version: ${MYVIRTUALARTIFACT.version}
.. and:
/tmp/build.xml:20: Property 'MYVIRTUALARTIFACT.version' is not defined.
artifactproperty code below:
<ivy:artifactproperty conf="default"
name="[module].version"
value="[revision]"/>
The virtual module conf and the conf in the artifact property match. I've tried
creating another virtual module and accessing its property, but as with the
other one it does not get a property set in Ant.
I suspect that either the artifactproperty task does not create Ant properties
for modules (only artifacts), or that modules have a different version property
to artifacts. Reading this suggests that #1 might be the case:
Sets an ant property for each dependency artifacts previously resolved.
(From: http://ant.apache.org/ivy/history/2.1.0/use/artifactproperty.html)
Can anyone confirm this for me? Is there a way around this, i.e. a flag I can
set to get Ivy to create properties for modules as well as artifacts?
Regards,
Adrian
