Problem resolving latest jar from multiple repositories containing same jar 
with different versions
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: IVY-966
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IVY-966
             Project: Ivy
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 2.0-RC2
         Environment: Windows XP SP2, JDK 1.6.0.05
            Reporter: Juliano DeCarvalho


This problem may be related to my configuration, but if it is, I'm not sure how 
to fix it.

My project has a dependency on a jar that I build with another project.  This 
jar can be found in two different maven repositories, one local and one shared. 
 The jars have different modification dates but the same revision (SNAPSHOT) in 
either repository.  I need Ivy to find the latest of the two jars.  Both 
repositories are located on my local filesystem, for testing purposes.

Ivy does not seem to return the latest of the two jars.  It seems to randomly 
select one, from what I can see.  I have debugged into the code and I think I 
found the problem, but not the cause or a solution.

My configuration:

*Ant:*

{quote}
                <property name="ivy.shared.default.root" 
value="c:/repos/shared" />

                <property name="ivy.local.default.root" value="c:/repos/local" 
/>
                <property name="ivy.local.default.ivy.pattern" 
value="[organisation]/[module]/[revision]/ivy.xml" />
                <property name="ivy.local.default.artifact.pattern" 
value="[organisation]/[module]/[revision]/[artifact]-[revision].[ext]" />

                <ivy:settings file="ivysettings.xml" />
                <ivy:resolve file="ivy.xml" />
                <ivy:retrieve pattern="./[artifact]-[revision].[ext]" />
{quote}

*ivy.xml:*

{quote}
<ivy-module version="2.0">
    <info organisation="com.test" module="testapp" />
    <dependencies>
        <dependency org="com.test" name="components-codegenUtils" 
rev="4.1.0-SNAPSHOT" changing="true">
                <include type="jar" />
        </dependency>
    </dependencies>
</ivy-module>
{quote}

*ivysettings.xml:*

{quote}
<ivysettings>
        <settings defaultResolver="default" />

        <property name="ivy.shared.default.root" 
value="${ivy.default.ivy.user.dir}/shared" override="false" />
        <property name="ivy.shared.default.ivy.pattern" 
value="[organisation]/[module]/[revision]/[type]s/[artifact].[ext]" 
override="false" />
        <property name="ivy.shared.default.artifact.pattern" 
value="[organisation]/[module]/[revision]/[type]s/[artifact].[ext]" 
override="false" />

        <property name="ivy.local.default.root" 
value="${ivy.default.ivy.user.dir}/local" override="false" />
        <property name="ivy.local.default.ivy.pattern" 
value="[organisation]/[module]/[revision]/[type]s/[artifact].[ext]" 
override="false" />
        <property name="ivy.local.default.artifact.pattern" 
value="[organisation]/[module]/[revision]/[type]s/[artifact].[ext]" 
override="false" />

        <resolvers>
                <filesystem name="local" m2compatible="true">
                        <ivy 
pattern="${ivy.local.default.root}/${ivy.local.default.ivy.pattern}" />
                        <artifact 
pattern="${ivy.local.default.root}/${ivy.local.default.artifact.pattern}" />
                </filesystem>

                <filesystem name="shared" m2compatible="true">
                        <ivy 
pattern="${ivy.shared.default.root}/${ivy.local.default.ivy.pattern}" />
                        <artifact 
pattern="${ivy.shared.default.root}/${ivy.local.default.artifact.pattern}" />
                </filesystem>

                <chain name="main" dual="true">
                        <resolver ref="shared" />
                </chain>

                <chain name="default" returnFirst="false">
                        <resolver ref="local" />
                        <resolver ref="main" />
                </chain>
        </resolvers>
</ivysettings>
{quote}

Here are the sequence of events which occur to cause this problem:

- Code enters AbstractResolver.checkLatest(ResolvedModuleRevision, 
ResolveData), passing in the local artifact
- Code returns artifact as latest since its the first one found
- Code enters the checkLatest method again with the second (and newer by 
modification date) artifact
- Code calls isAfter(newModuleFound, previousModuleFound, data.getDate())
    - newModuleFound is the second artifact, newer by date
    - previousModuleFound is the first artifact, which is older
    - data.getDate() is null
- isAfter() creates an array [ newModuleFound, previousModuleFound ] and passes 
that to LatestRevisionStrategy.findLatest()
- findLatest() iterates over the array backwards
    - findLatest() states that it iterates backwards because, and I quote:   
"the latest revision comes last, use a ListIterator to iterate the sorted list 
in the reverse direction.".  Now, this is incorrect in my case since the array 
passed in clearly has the newer module found (the jar with the newer 
modification date) in slot 0
- findLatest() returns the older revision artifact because the assumptions it 
makes about the array are wrong

I hope that makes sense.  If there's anything else that you need to replicate 
this problem, please let me know.

Thank you,
