Resolving SNAPSHOT dependencies with timestamps from Ivy
archiva, ivy, maven
Solution
Ivy supports resolving timestamped snapshots, but with the following limitation: the specified pattern on your ibiblio resolver must end with:
[organisation]/[module]/[revision]/[artifact]-[revision](-[classifier]).[ext]
This is not the case in your setup, so Ivy won't try to find your timestamped snapshot. Updating your pattern to this one should solve your problem; update the definition of your archiva-snapshots repository to:
<ibiblio name="archiva-snapshots"
m2compatible="true"
usepoms="true"
pattern="[organisation]/[module]/[revision]/[artifact]-[revision](-[classifier]).[ext]"
root="http://host:port/archiva/repository/snapshots"/>
Remark: mind the 's' in [organisation] instead of the 'z'.

Problem
I am attempting to resolve timestamped SNAPSHOT dependencies with Ivy. The environment is Ant + Ivy 1.2.0 + Archiva. Archiva itself is populated from Maven2 builds. Ivy is only used to resolve dependencies (from a single, non Maven2 project). How can Ivy be configured to correctly resolve timestamped artifacts from an Archiva or m2 repository? For reference my current configuration is: ivysettings.xml looks similar to: ``` <ivysettings> <settings defaultResolver="archiva-chain"/> <resolvers> <chain name="archiva-chain" changingPattern=".*SNAPSHOT" checkmodified="true"> <ibiblio name="archiva-internal" m2compatible="true" usepoms="true" pattern="[organization]/[module]/[revision]/[artifact]-[revision].[ext]" root="http://host:port/archiva/repository/internal"/> <ibiblio name="archiva-deploy" m2compatible="true" usepoms="true" pattern="[organization]/[module]/[revision]/[artifact]-[revision].[ext]" root="http://host:port/archiva/repository/deploy"/> <ibiblio name="archiva-snapshots" m2compatible="true" usepoms="true" pattern="[organization]/[module]/[revision]/[artifact]-[revision].[ext]" root="http://host:port/archiva/repository/snapshots"/> </chain> </resolvers> </ivysettings> ``` The ivy.xml dependencies are simple: ``` <ivy-module version="2.0"> <info organisation="com.myorg" module="myapp"/> <dependencies> <dependency org="com.myorg" name="myartifact" rev="1.8.0-SNAPSHOT" changing="true"/> </dependencies> </ivy-module> ``` Ivy does not attempt to resolve a timestamped artifact. E.g. ``` [ivy:retrieve] :: problems summary :: [ivy:retrieve] :::: WARNINGS [ivy:retrieve] module not found: com.myorg#myartifact;1.8.0-SNAPSHOT [ivy:retrieve] ==== archiva-internal: tried [ivy:retrieve] -- artifact com.myorg#myartifact;1.8.0-SNAPSHOT!myartifact.jar: [ivy:retrieve] http://host:port/archiva/repository/internal/com.myorg/myartifact/1.8.0-SNAPSHOT/myartifact-1.8.0-SNAPSHOT.jar [ivy:retrieve] ==== archiva-deploy: tried [ivy:retrieve] -- artifact com.myorg#myartifact;1.8.0-SNAPSHOT!myartifact.jar: [ivy:retrieve] http://host:port/archiva/repository/deploy/com.myorg/myartifact/1.8.0-SNAPSHOT/myartifact-1.8.0-SNAPSHOT.jar [ivy:retrieve] ==== archiva-snapshots: tried [ivy:retrieve] -- artifact com.myorg#myartifact;1.8.0-SNAPSHOT!myartifact.jar: [ivy:retrieve] http://host:port/archiva/repository/snapshots/com.myorg/myartifact/1.8.0-SNAPSHOT/myartifact-1.8.0-SNAPSHOT.jar [ivy:retrieve] :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: [ivy:retrieve] :: UNRESOLVED DEPENDENCIES :: [ivy:retrieve] :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: [ivy:retrieve] :: com.myorg#myartifact;1.8.0-SNAPSHOT: not found [ivy:retrieve] :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: [ivy:retrieve] [ivy:retrieve] [ivy:retrieve] :: USE VERBOSE OR DEBUG MESSAGE LEVEL FOR MORE DETAILS ``` There is a maven-metadata.xml in snapshots/com/myorg/myartifact: ``` <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <metadata> <groupId>com.myorg</groupId> <artifactId>myartifact</artifactId> <versioning> <latest>1.8.0-SNAPSHOT</latest> <versions> <version>1.3.0-SNAPSHOT</version> <version>1.4.2-SNAPSHOT</version> <version>1.6.1-SNAPSHOT</version> <version>1.8.0-SNAPSHOT</version> </versions> <lastUpdated>20100303003206</lastUpdated> </versioning> </metadata> ``` The maven-metadata.xml in snapshots/com/myorg/myartifact/1.8.0-SNAPSHOT: ``` <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <metadata> <groupId>com.myorg</groupId> <artifactId>myartifact</artifactId> <version>1.8.0-SNAPSHOT</version> <versioning> <snapshot> <buildNumber>7</buildNumber> <timestamp>20100303.003206</timestamp> </snapshot> <lastUpdated>20100303003206</lastUpdated> </versioning> </metadata> ``` Not all that useful, but for completeness, the files in the directory snapshots/com/myorg/myartifact/1.8.0-SNAPSHOT for the referenced snapshot: ``` -rw-r--r-- 1 archiva archiva 240670 Mar 3 10:32 myartifact-1.8.0-20100303.003206-7.jar -rw-r--r-- 1 archiva archiva 32 Mar 3 10:32 myartifact-1.8.0-20100303.003206-7.jar.md5 -rw-r--r-- 1 archiva archiva 40 Mar 3 10:32 myartifact-1.8.0-20100303.003206-7.jar.sha1 -rw-r--r-- 1 archiva archiva 4068 Mar 3 10:32 myartifact-1.8.0-20100303.003206-7.pom -rw-r--r-- 1 archiva archiva 32 Mar 3 10:32 myartifact-1.8.0-20100303.003206-7.pom.md5 -rw-r--r-- 1 archiva archiva 40 Mar 3 10:32 myartifact-1.8.0-20100303.003206-7.pom.sha1 -rw-r--r-- 1 archiva archiva 180821 Mar 3 10:32 myartifact-1.8.0-20100303.003206-7-sources.jar -rw-r--r-- 1 archiva archiva 32 Mar 3 10:32 myartifact-1.8.0-20100303.003206-7-sources.jar.md5 -rw-r--r-- 1 archiva archiva 40 Mar 3 10:32 myartifact-1.8.0-20100303.003206-7-sources.jar.sha1 ```
