The behaviour you want is not possible with Ivy at the moment. Maybe you could try to accomplish what you want with a custom version-matcher. For this, you have to implement the org.apache.ivy.plugin.version.VersionMatcher interface and invent a syntax for this kind of version, like for instance: <dependency org="org.addons" module="addonB" revision="resolvable" />
But maybe a much simpler solution is to add the missing addonA versions to your repository? regards, Maarten ----- Original Message ---- From: lemine youssef <[email protected]> To: Garima Bathla <[email protected]>; [email protected] Sent: Wed, December 30, 2009 12:50:28 PM Subject: Re: transitive dependencies fails Thanks again for your care, <<What is the expected behavior from ivy?>> I expected Ivy to get the latest version of moduleB for wich he can resolve the dependency of moduleA, thats means: I excpect that ivy take the latest version of B trys to resole its dependencies and in case of failure, Ivy should take the previous version of B and so on until it found a version of B for which the dependencies can be resolved. if all version of B are tried without success the Ivy can stop and return UNRESOLVED DEPENDENCY. In my case I excpect that Ivy proceed this way a)- take the version 3.0 of addonB (dependency on addonA not satisfied); b)- take the version 2.0 of addonB (dependency on addonA not satisfied); c)- take the version 1.0 of addonB (dependency on addonA is now satisfied); return success. <<but what you are seeing? >> Ivy is trying to resolve the dependency of the absolute latest version of moduleB which is not possible, so he fails and stop. In my case Ivy only tries the version 3.0 of B . I hope is now clear thank again for u'r time. Youssef. Garima Bathla a écrit : > I am little confused with your reply.
