Hi there. For the life of me I can't get Ivy to set a classpath using cachepath
(I wrote this up on SO, too:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/61869872/ant-ivy-wont-set-compile-classpath):
```
<target name="resolve" description="==> retrieve dependencies with Ivy">
<ivy:retrieve/>
<ivy:cachepath pathid="runtime.classpath" />
</target>
...
<pathconvert property="classpathInName"
refid="runtime.classpath" />
<echo>runtime.classpath is '${classpathInName}'</echo>
```
My ivy.xml:
```
<ivy-module version="2.0">
<info organisation="com.latencyzero.missiondb" module="webapp"/>
<configurations defaultconfmapping="runtime->*">
<conf name="compile" visibility="public" description="this is
the default scope, used if none is specified. Compile dependencies are
available in all classpaths."/>
<conf name="provided" visibility="public" description="this is
much like compile, but indicates you expect the JDK or a container to provide
it. It is only available on the compilation classpath, and is not transitive."/>
<conf name="runtime" visibility="public" description="this
scope indicates that the dependency is not required for compilation, but is for
execution. It is in the runtime and test classpaths, but not the compile
classpath." extends="compile"/>
<conf name="test" visibility="private" description="this scope
indicates that the dependency is not required for normal use of the
application, and is only available for the test compilation and execution
phases." extends="runtime"/>
</configurations>
<dependencies>
<dependency org="org.apache.logging.log4j"
name="log4j" rev="2.13.3"
conf="compile->*"/>
</dependencies>
</ivy-module>
```
Output of `ant build` (value of runtime.classpath at the end):
```
...

```
Any idea what I'm doing wrong? Thanks.
