Your comment about Ivy not always delivering the latest artifact caught my attention. That in combination with perceived cache issues makes me just shake my head.
Deleting cache directories is only treating the symptoms. When you think about it, what is the point of a cache if you delete it? Furthermore, you consider the cache poison to the build because it is. It's a bad place to be. I have been there my friend. See my recommendations on how to take absolute control of your dependency resolution and retrieval strategies in Ivy. Use it, like it, then scream it from the mountain tops until it becomes documentation on the site. It's good stuff. http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/ant-ivy-user/201504.mbox/%3C2ffef9f4335143be92cd684f2199808c%40MAIL02.blueorigin.com%3E L.K. -----Original Message----- From: Qazwart [mailto:qazw...@gmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, April 07, 2015 8:48 AM To: ivy-user@ant.apache.org Subject: Re: Difficult with concurrent builds Here's how I fixed the ivy cache issue with Jenkins: In my ivysettings.xml: <ivysettings> <property name="env.EXECUTOR_NUMBER" value="0" override="false"/> <caches defaultCacheDir="${ivy.default.ivy.user.dir}/cache-${env.EXECUTOR_NUMBER}" resolutionCacheDir="${ivy.dir}/../target/ivy.cache"/> <settings defaultResolver="default"/> <include file="${ivy.dir}/ivysettings-public.xml"/> <include url="${ivy.default.settings.dir}/ivysettings-shared.xml"/> <include url="${ivy.default.settings.dir}/ivysettings-local.xml"/> <include url="${ivy.default.settings.dir}/ivysettings-main-chain.xml"/> <include url="${ivy.default.settings.dir}/ivysettings-default-chain.xml"/> </ivysettings> Jenkins sets the "EXECUTOR_NUMBER" environment variable depending on which executor is used. If the build is run locally, the default cache will be $HOME/.ivy2/cache-0. I ran into this cache issue because we clean out the cache from our locally built jars with each build. This guarantees we're working with the latest version of those jars (something that Ivy didn't always do all the time). Deleting jars while an Ivy build is running doesn't make Jenkins very happy. It took us a while to realize why builds were failing. -- David Weintraub qazw...@gmail.com perl -e 'print "Just another second rate Perl Hacker\n";' > On Apr 7, 2015, at 9:58 AM, Roberto C.
