getting error message: "unknown resolver XYZ"

Question

while resolving my ivy.xml, I get a long list of errors, all stating "unknown resolver XYZ". I know the resolver, it is used in the same project but different task. As far as I understand, the resolver used to create the cache entry is stored and than cannot be determined by the follow-up resolver.

Question is: how can I avoid this? Seeams like this is not really an error, more like a warning since I am able to resolve all dependencies and continue compiling.

Answer 1

Within the same project, the build resolver will not change because it's defined in your ivysettings.xml file.

This is more likely to be a problem with a stale ivy cache. I'd suggest adding an extra target that purges your cache. Useful when encountering this type of problem:

<target name="clean-all" depends="clean" description="Purge ivy cache">
    <ivy:cleancache/>
</target>
