Reload settings will not try to re-read ivysettings.xml file after failure to
find file at start-up (possibly due to Eclipse variable substitution)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: IVYDE-248
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IVYDE-248
Project: IvyDE
Issue Type: Bug
Components: classpath container
Affects Versions: 2.1.0
Environment: Windows XP SP3, Eclipse 3.4 + 3.5
Reporter: Anthony Di Loreto
Priority: Minor
OVERVIEW
=========
In running through several outage cases in our group's use of Ivy, I ran into
an interesting start-up case.
Right now our common ivysettings.xml file is housed on a file share. If we have
a network outage before the user starts up Eclipse, IvyDE will of course give
an error. However, when the file share becomes accessible again a "Reload
settings" from the ivy.xml container or a "Resolve" will still fail. I have
also tested the much simpler case of simply renaming the ivysettings.xml file
before starting Eclipse to simulate a file share disruption, which also results
in the same issue.
REPRO
======
1)
Have Eclipse setup with at least one project using Ivy/IvyDE and referencing an
ivysettings.xml file on a file system. (i.e. file:/path/to/ivysettings.xml)
2)
Close Eclipse
3)
Rename the ivysettings.xml file to something else
4)
Launch Eclipse (now without access to the ivysettings.xml) and we get the error:
Error while resolving the ivy instance for ivy.xml in 'MyIvyProject':
Unrecognized variables in the Ivy settings file
${workspace_loc:MyIvyProject/P:/Ivy/common/ivysettings.xml}
Make note that it's considering the absolute file path a VARIABLE for some
reason.
4)
Rename the file back to ivysettings.xml
5)
Attempt a resolve, reload, refresh, etc., all result in the same error:
Error while resolving the ivy instance for ivy.xml in 'MyIvyProject':
Unrecognized variables in the Ivy settings file
${workspace_loc:MyIvyProject/P:/Ivy/common/ivysettings.xml}
Here is the stack trace:
org.apache.ivyde.eclipse.IvyDEException: Error while resolving the ivy instance

NOTES
======
- Why is the file URL changing to a variable substitution? I used the "File
System" button to select the file in the Classpath Container settings window.
- This issue DOESN'T occur if during an Eclipse session you lose access to the
file, attempt to reload settings (fail), restore the file, and attempt to
reload again.
WORKAROUNDS
==============
- Close Eclipse, restore ivysettings.xml file, start Eclipse
- Go back in the Classpath Container settings window and press OK
