(not at all a hack i guess?)

that’s what i did originally, unfortunately it seems that downloads the dependency as a zip, and

boto3

expects to have some unpacked files available (as installing it with

~/.cache/pants/whatever/pip install boto3

fixes it)

as a workaround i’m just doing that

pip install

for now ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

patching boto to be zip-safe would be desirable probably

hi folks, I'm playing with

outdated.ivy

and it's looking pretty useful but I keep getting an error:

:::: ERRORS
                     	unknown resolver null

has anyone seen that before?

cc @brash-oxygen-26029 : ^

@fast-megabyte-33579 If you run

outdated.ivy

with

-ldebug

you should get the command line for the java class it is invoking. e.g.

/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_121.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/java -Xmx1g -XX:MaxPermSize=256m -cp /Users/cheister/Development/pants/.pants.d/bootstrap/bootstrap-jvm-tools/tool_cache/shaded_jars/org.pantsbuild.tools.ivy.DependencyUpdateChecker-8f747682a3aec3a682435337a551fd4e5c615e39-ShadedToolFingerprintStrategy_84b7c8177a9b.jar org.pantsbuild.tools.ivy.DependencyUpdateChecker -settings /Users/cheister/Development/pants/build-support/ivy/ivysettings.xml -ivy /Users/cheister/Development/pants/.pants.d/outdated/ivy/ivy.xml -confs default

It will base the ivy look up on the default conf you have setup in the

ivysettings.xml

file

my ivysettings.xml looks almost exactly the same as the one in the pants repo

and this is my commandline:

/usr/bin/java -Xmx1g -cp /Users/mike/code/fr/source/.pants.d/bootstrap/bootstrap-jvm-tools/tool_cache/shaded_jars/org.pantsbuild.tools.ivy.DependencyUpdateChecker-8f747682a3aec3a682435337a551fd4e5c615e39-ShadedToolFingerprintStrategy_84b7c8177a9b.jar org.pantsbuild.tools.ivy.DependencyUpdateChecker -settings /Users/mike/code/fr/source/build-support/ivy/ivysettings.xml -ivy /Users/mike/code/fr/source/.pants.d/outdated/ivy/ivy.xml -confs default

so pretty much the same

it doesn't stop the the tool running fwiw

@high-advantage-47550 I filed something about the boto deps: https://github.com/pantsbuild/pants/issues/4428 I also have an example pants script that installs the reqs which is how I do it for my plugins: https://github.com/toddgardner/pants-plugins/blob/master/pants.extrareqs

ah! thanks

@fast-megabyte-33579 : were there other errors? i wonder whether that is some spurious trailing info. it seems familiar

not that I could see, it gave me expected output

hm, ok

hm

that sounds like there’s an ivysettings.xml without a resolver somewhere

I think I have a solution to my ivy fetch bimodal resolver config problem

...rewrite the second half in rust?

lol, that’d work too

no, I can create a “module” in the ivysettings.xml that matches

name=.*-fetch

, that changes the resolver

then have the fast, dumber resolver be pointed to by that

I don’t like ivy’s docs at all

defaultResolver is referenced in quite a few places. Modules aren’t.

modules in the ivysettings sense, not the library sense

if it's going to live long enough, should seriously think about switching to coursier: ... is on 1.0.0-rc and seems active: https://github.com/coursier/coursier/blob/master/README.md

yeah
