Jex Jexler commented on GROOVY-8097:
------------------------------------
@Jochen, I think that this issue here has at least partially also to do with
synchronization on the level of the file system, i.e. several VMs overwriting
each other's files while getting artifacts, presumably the ones in Ivy's
"resolutionCache", but actually I would prefer to see an isolated test that
reproduces the issue. The Java "synchronized (lock) \{ ... }"'s I am adding in
the single GrapeEngine instance in the Grape class cannot help in that case.
But they could still be part of a solution.

> Key: GROOVY-8097
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-8097
> Project: Groovy
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Grape
> Affects Versions: 2.4.8
> Reporter: Ion Alberdi
> Priority: Minor

> Ivy does not support concurrent access to its resolution cache
> https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IVY-654
> Grape relies on Ivy. For this reason, Grape cannot support concurrent access
> to its resolution cache neither.
> When using the @Grab annotation in jenkins groovyCommand or
> systemGroovyCommand, the related code is vulnerable to race conditions. When
> the race condition appears in a systemGroovyCommand, we have no choice but to
> reboot jenkins as all consecutive calls to @Grab fail.
> Among the two solutions we tried:
> - Protect the calls to grab with a lock similar to ivy's "artifact-lock-nio"
> strategy. Works but slow.
> - Set Ivy's lock on the repository cache and setup Grab to use a different
> cache resolution cache for each concurrent jobs. The following code permits
> to fix a test we did to reproduce the race condition.
> {code}
> static IvySettings createIvySettings(String resolutionPath, boolean
> dumpSettings) {
> // Copy/Paste/Purged from GrapeIvy.groovy
> IvySettings settings = new IvySettings()
> settings.load(new File(GROOVY_HOME, "grapeConfig.xml"))
> // set up the cache dirs
> settings.defaultCache = new File(GRAPES_HOME)
> settings.setVariable("ivy.default.configuration.m2compatible", "true")
> settings.setDefaultResolutionCacheBasedir(resolutionPath)
> return settings
> }
> static GrapeIvy ivyWithCustomResolutionPath(String resolutionPath) {
> Class<?> grapeIvyClass = Class.forName("groovy.grape.GrapeIvy");
> Object instance = grapeIvyClass.newInstance()
> Field field = grapeIvyClass.getDeclaredField("ivyInstance");
> field.setAccessible(true);
> field.set(instance,
> Ivy.newInstance(createIvySettings(resolutionPath)));
> return ((GrapeIvy)instance)
> }
> {code}
> We'd like to propose to add an additional argument to Grab to setup Ivy's
> resolution cache directory.
> Note that this solution seems to have been adopted by these users too
> https://rbcommons.com/s/twitter/r/3436/
> Would you agree on such a feature ? We'd be glad to propose a PR.
