Hello there,
Is there a way to make ivy:install install transitive dependencies that are
defined within a private configuration?
Let me explain why I want this feature, or at least a way around the current
behaviour.
Consider that I am developing a module. It has several artefacts published via
public configurations and some private configurations which are used for
dependency resolution as part of the build. Here is an example:
<configurations>
<conf name="build" visibility="private"/>
<conf name="docs"/>
<conf name="binaries"/>
</configurations>
<publications>
<artifact name="readme" ext="txt" type="text" conf="docs"/>
<artifact name="foo" ext="dll" type="library" conf="binaries"/>
</publications>
<dependencies>
<dependency org="myorg" name="bar" rev="latest.integration">
<conf name="build" mapped="libs"/>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
So I use the build configuration to pull the libs configuration from the latest
version of the myorg#bar module. This works fine for building the module.
However, sometimes I want to develop my module while sitting on a plane with no
access to my corporate Ivy repository, the solution use ivy:install to create
an "offline" repository on my laptop before I leave the office. However
ivy:install does not want to pull dependencies for the private "build"
configuration which means the myorg#bar module is not installed. Is there any
way around this other than change all my private configurations to public?
Regards
