I'm using the Hudson CI server. The thing is that, if I don't set the resolveId, I can have two projects which are performing the exact same resolve.
Ie. project A is retrieving, inline, the '[com.mycorp]-[common]' module, and project B as well, possibly at the same time. Now the resolveId for both these resolves is the [com.mycorp]-[common-caller], as they are both inline resolves. Since they have the same resolveId, they also use the same files in the ~/.ivy2/cache directory, which leads to errors when they both run at the same time. So I'd like to set a resolveId that is dependent on the ant.project.name. I'd also like the resolveId to depend on the ivy branch, as, again, it is possible that the same project is built for two branches simultaneously, resulting in the same resolveId again if the branch is not part of the resolveId. So, in short, is there a way to specify in the ant file a resolveId for an inline retrieve that depends on the dynamic Ivy properties such as org, rev and branch ? If not, is there an alternative way in which I can prevent the concurrency issues described above ? I hope this makes my problem a bit clearer. > Joshua Tarp wrote: > > What CI build server are you using? I've never heard of cross-Ant > concurrency issues that didn't involve the filesystem.
