hi, I've been trying to use ivy "extra attributes" but am not entirely successful. When I try the publish ant task and use my extra attribute in the artifact pattern the attribute doesn't seem to be defined.
Some relevant snippets: ivy.xml <ivy-module version="2.0" xmlns:e="http://ant.apache.org/ivy/extra"; > <info organisation="someorg" module="gvs" e:submodule="gvs-orm"/> <publications> ...etc. build.xml: <project name="gvs-orm" default="all" basedir="." > <import file="ivy-init.xml"/> ... ivy-init.xml: <target name="publish" depends="resolve" description="--> compile test and publish this project in the local ivy repository"> <!-- according to http://ant.apache.org/ivy/history/trunk/use/info.html shouldn't ivy.extra.submodule variable be set now? --> <echo message="extra attribute 'submodule': ${ivy.extra.submodule}"/> <ivy:publish overwrite="true" resolver="filesystem-inhouse" pubrevision="${software.version}" > <artifacts pattern="dist/${ivy.extra.submodule}-[revision].[ext]"/> <!-- <artifacts pattern="dist/${ivy.extra.submodule}-[revision].[ext]"/> this didn't work either--> </ivy:publish> </target> When I run "ant publish" it prints: [echo] extra attribute 'submodule': ${ivy.extra.submodule} so, the apparently variable is undefined, and then puts an ivy file in "dist" but with the (bad) name "${ivy.extra.submodule}-1.0.9.xml" I have tried many other things--using [submodule] or [e:submodule] in the pattern, adding xmlns:e to the build, etc.--but nothing worked so far. Anyone know what might be going wrong? regards, Randy
