Bart Dooms commented on IVY-1206:
---------------------------------
This can have serious problem.
e.g.
I use an custom attribute e:subsytem which is used in the ivypattern from my
resolver: [organisation]/[subsystem]/[module]
Because info extends doesn't user the extra attribute the resolve task doesn't
find the correct ivy.xml file so no extends at all.
> extra attributes lost from info when ivy file is merged with parent

> Key: IVY-1206
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IVY-1206
> Project: Ivy
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 2.2.0-RC1, 2.2.0
> Environment: OS: Ubuntu 10.04
> Java: 1.6.0_20-b02
> Ant: 1.8.0
> Reporter: Timothy Bingaman
>
> This is in relation to the new "extends" functionality in 2.2.0-rc1.
> When publishing an ivy file that extends a parent ivy file (using the default
> setting of merging the files), any extra attributes get dropped. This
> happens regardless of whether the extra attributes are in the child ivy file,
> parent ivy file, or both.
> Ideally, all extra attributes would undergo the same merge process as all the
> standard attributes (allowing them to be inherited from parent to child. But
> at the very least, they should not be removed from the child ivy file.
> Example:
> info section in original ivy file
> {noformat}
> <info module="core-util" e:sourceurl="${svn.info.url}"
> e:sourcerev="${svn.info.wcversion}" e:user="${user.name}">
> <extends organisation="our-organisation" module="our-parent"
> revision="latest.integration"/>
> </info>
> {noformat}
> info section in published (merged) ivy file
> {noformat}
> <info organisation="our-organisation" module="core-util" branch="trunk"
> revision="2.2.51-SNAPSHOT.r30249" status="integration"
> publication="20100714140802">
> <!-- <extends organisation="our-organisation" module="our-parent"
> revision="working@mycomputer"/> -->
>
> <!-- description inherited from parent -->
> <description></description>
> </info>
> {noformat}
> As you can see, all the "e:*" attributes have been dropped.
