> Absolute and relative path

> Key: IVY-387
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IVY-387
> Project: Ivy
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 1.4.1
> Reporter: Gilles Scokart
> Assignee: Gilles Scokart
> Fix For: 2.0-RC1
>
>
> There are a few of issues in Jira concerning absolute and relative path.
> Currently all the path are resolved relatively to the execution.
> The different issues are :
> - includes in the ivyconf files (IVY-372)
> - properties in the ivyconf files (IVY-89)
> - include configurations in the ivy files (IVY-347) In all case, the path
> should be resolved relatively to the including file, and not relatively to
> the current execution task.
> There is also at least an other issue concerning the path resulutiion in ant
> task parameter (IVY-232).
> I think all those problems should be fixed together in order to keep ivy more
> consistent. However, there is a backward compatibility issue: some projects
> (for which it is required to launch the build from the base directory) rely
> on the fact that ivy use path relative to the current execution directory.
> And if they reference files that are not in the base directory, the change
> will break their build.
> The first project in that case is ivy itself! Try 'ant -f ivy/build.xml test'
> and you will see plenty of test failing.
> Comment from Xavier on the mailing list :
> What could be done is have a single setting somewhere saying if relative
> paths resolution should be done in backward compatible mode, or new mode. The
> default could even be new mode, if it's clearly documented.
