Porblem with gettting SNAPSHOT version of artifact from maven repository

[VinayKumar]

I tried to use "Ibiblio" resolver to get artifacts from public maven repository. But IVY does not seem to work for SNAPSHOT version of the artifacts. Is there a way to get SNAPSHOT versions in IVY from a maven repository?


Thanks
Vinay Kumar

What error message do you have? Which SNAPSHOT are you trying to use?

First of all thanks a lot for replying.

Here is the ivyconf.xml

<ivyconf>

  <conf name="caaers" defaultResolver="caaersR"/>

  <resolvers>

      <chain name="caaersR">
      <ibiblio name="ours" root="http://download.bioinformatics.northwestern.edu/maven2/" m2compatible="true" usepoms="true"/>
            <ibiblio name="ibiblio" />
     </chain>

   

  </resolvers>
   <modules>
           <module organisation="semanticbits" name="bootstrap" resolver="caaersR" />
   </modules>

</ivyconf>

######################################################

And here is the ivy.xml

<ivy-module version="1.0">

    <info organisation="semanticbits" module="bootstrap"/>

    <dependencies>
       
        <dependency org="gov.nih.nci.cabig.ctms" name="ctms-commons-core" rev="0.6-SNAPSHOT" />
             </dependencies>

</ivy-module>
 
**************************************************************************

Now the problem is that there is no jar named as ctms-common-core-0.6-SNAPSHOT.jar 'cause maven keeps the snapshots in a different manner using timestamps. So in my opinion there should be a way to tell to IVY that this is SNAPSHOT version from maven repository. And it should not look for exact rev rather than resolve it using a different logic if this artifact is SNAPSHOT.

You can give it a try yourself as the configured repository is public repository. As a matter of fact I will appreciate if you can look at the following URL and see how maven store this artifact.

http://download.bioinformatics.northwestern.edu/maven2/gov/nih/nci/cabig/ctms/ctms-commons-core/0.6-SNAPSHOT/


Once again, I will appreciate any help on this.

Thanks
Vinay Kumar

Indeed, this kind of versions is not supported out of the box by Ivy. I
think we already have an issue for SNAPSHOT version support in JIRA, feel
free to have a look and vote for the issue and add some details in comments.
I see no workaround right now, and won't have time to investigate on a fix
for the moment... But if you feel motivated enough you can try to hack
around a resolver dealing with this problem. Converting a SNAPSHOT in a +
(ie 0.6-SNAPSHOT => 0.6+) would almost be enough (this can be done with a
simple VersionMatcher), except that the revision token need to be replaced
once by the version constraint (0.6-SNAPSHOT for the directory) and once by
the actual version (in the filename). That's the only specificity, so it
shouldn't be that hard to address.
