David Chisholm commented on IVY-1081:
-------------------------------------
I ran into the same problem, but I think the issue is the slash path separator
and not the variable reference. I had a variable whose value was
"build/foo.jar". When I replaced the variable with this value in the publish
task, I got the same error. It wasn't until I removed the slash separator that
the error cleared. I changed the variable to "foo.jar", and then the variable
worked fine too.
versions: jdk 1.8 / ant 1.8 / ivy 2.4
> Another wrong error message when publishing
> -------------------------------------------

> Key: IVY-1081
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IVY-1081
> Project: Ivy
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Core
> Affects Versions: 2.1.0-RC1
> Reporter: hem006
>
> <target name="publish">
> ...
> <copy file="${jar.dir}/${artifact.name}.jar" todir="." />
> <ivy:publish artifactspattern="${jar.dir}/${artifact.name}"
> resolver="shared" pubrevision="${ivy.new.revision}" />
> ...
> </target>
> leads to the following output
> ...\build.xml:26: impossible to publish artifacts for
> mycompany.com#MyComponent;working@MY-PC: java.lang.IllegalStateException: bad
> ivy file for mycompany.com#MyComponent;working@MY-PC: [...]/MyComponent:
> java.text.ParseException: [[Fatal Error] :1:1: Content is not allowed in
> prolog. in file:[...]/MyComponent/
> ]
> Note that it is the ivy:publish task that fails, whereas the ant copy works
> as intended. Now, the error message sends you hunting in the ivy file - maybe
> there is some malformed xml...? However, the problem turns out to be related
> to the ${jar.dir} variable reference in the 'artifactspattern' parameter. The
> same variable caused no trouble in the line before (${jar.dir} exists, and
> the artifact is present both in ${jar.dir} and in the working directory), so
> what is wrong?
> Remove the variable reference, and everything works fine. Nothing is wrong
> with the ivy file, and it is difficult to see what a typical xml parser
> exception has to do with the problem.
> This is the second bug I've experienced - and reported - in a couple of days,
> relating to Ivy providing wrong feedback in case of an error. Maybe it is
> time for a review of the code, related to error handling?
