LatestVersionMatcher.needModuleDescriptor() does not honor custom statuses --------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: IVY-1170 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IVY-1170 Project: Ivy Issue Type: Bug Components: Core Affects Versions: 2.1.0 Reporter: Carl Quinn While tracking down some unexpected behavior in our Ivy-based build system, I ran across what looks like a bug in LatestVersionMatcher.needModuleDescriptor(). In that method, it has a hard-coded check for "latest.integration" to determine when to not require a module descriptor and just grab the newest thing. public boolean needModuleDescriptor(ModuleRevisionId askedMrid, ModuleRevisionId foundMrid) { return !"latest.integration".equals(askedMrid.getRevision()); } In our case, we have redefined our status to be the maven-like names: <statuses default="snapshot"> <status name="release" integration="false"/> <status name="snapshot" integration="true"/> </statuses> Where in our case "snapshot" replaces "integration". And this LatestVersionMatcher then fails to allow "latest.snapshot" to grab artifacts w/o module descriptors. (all those old jars that I haven't Ivy-fied yet :) I will work on developing a patch. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
