Xavier Hanin commented on IVY-907: ---------------------------------- Ok, I think I've found the problem: the default cache location is initialized by default using the value of the ivy.cache.dir variable. The problem is that during this initialization, variable substitution is not done. In your case you set this variable to ${env.IVY_CACHE_DIR}, which is not expanded by Ivy and thus lead to a non absolute path. With the old version it works because you actually never use the default cache location, since you explicitly set the repository cache dir and the resolution cache dir. But if you run with the old version in verbose mode, you will see in the dumped settings that ${env.IVY_CACHE_DIR} is not expanded either. So the fix is too expand variables values when using the ivy.cache.dir variable to set the default cache dir value. The workaround is to use another variable as basis for your cache, since you don't actually want to set the default cache with that. Or you can also explicitly set the defaultCacheDir="${ivy.cache.dir}" in your caches settings, since this one will expand the variables values. To conclude, since there is a workaround, and the bug case is not too frequent (you need to set ivy.cache.dir to a value with a variable) I don't think this is a blocking issue for 2.0-rc1 or 2.0-final either. > Environment properties in ivy settings are no longer resolved > ------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: IVY-907 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IVY-907 > Project: Ivy > Issue Type: Bug > Affects Versions: 2.0-RC1 > Reporter: Erik-Berndt Scheper > Assignee: Maarten Coene > Fix For: 2.0.x > > Attachments: IVY-907.zip, ivysettings.zip > > > I have an ivy.settings.xml file published on an intranet http server, which > includes a property file from the same http server.
