Re: [tycho-user] Wrong version resolved from the locally built artefacts

[Wladimir Safonov <wladimir.safonov@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Jan,

I am aware of the new flag, unfortunately that would not help as we actually need local artifacts, well in this specific case the one with the highest version number that is produced by a different build. Eclipse PDE would resolve this correctly, so I would expect for consistency reasons that Tycho would comply with this behaviour.

If it is not possible to support this for some reasons, at least some notice in the documentation would be nice informing the user that when using version ranges in dependencies it is not guaranteed that the latest version will be taken.

there is a new flag "-Dtycho.localArtifacts=ignore" in upcoming version 0.16.0 [1]

which should help.

Subject: [tycho-user] Wrong version resolved from the locally built artefacts

Hi there,

I have a question about IU resolution process implemented in Tycho. If there are several bundles matching some version range on a dependency, Tycho would give no guarantee about which bundle will be picked up for the resolved target platform, right? I have a scenario, where I see that not the oldest version "wins" but rather an arbitrary one from all matched. This is an excerpt from the debug output for a module which picks an old version instead of the newest one: 

[DEBUG] Slice:
  <...>
  com.example.helpers 1.1.0.v20120711-1215
  <...>
  com.example.helpers 1.2.0.v20121016-1005
  <...>

[DEBUG] Resolved IUs:
  <...>
  com.example.helpers 1.1.0.v20120711-1215
  <...>

Dependency on the com.example.helpers bundle is specified as a range [1.1.0,). I have several modules with exactly this dependency. The quirky thing is that some of them are resolved with the newest version (1.2.0), but some are not. All versions of the com.example.helpers bundle come from the local repository and never from the build reactor. 

Now, as we basically have this situation on our CI server, I know that I can fix it just by clearing the local repository on the server once in a while. But shouldn't Tycho provide a consistent behaviour here and pick up correct latest version when resolved against a version range in multiple alternatives scenario?

Thanks in advance!


Regards, Vladimir
