Resolving Ivy dependencies for a foundation library in a platform

llangpap · April 18, 2019, 6:34pm

Hello,

I am having trouble resolving ivy dependencies from a foundation library that was built in another workspace then included in my platform. Is this possible? If so, could you tell me what I’m doing incorrectly?

Thank you,
Lyle

In one workspace:

I created a foundation library following the instructions in the how-to. (https://github.com/MicroEJ/How-To/tree/master/FoundationLibrary-Get-Started)
I build the API, impl, and mock projects with EasyAnt.

In another workspace:

I have a platform and standalone application.
I added the javaAPIs, javaLibs, mocks, scripts from the foundation library to the platform dropins/ folder.
I build the platform.
I verified the correct files were in the generated platform project.
I added the following line to the application’s ivy file:

I get the following Ivy error:

Some projects fail to be resolved
Impossible to resolve dependencies of ep#demo-suite;0.1.0
unresolved dependency: ep.api#foundation;...: not found

In the Ivy console, I see:

:: problems summary ::

Hi @llangpap,

You are trying to resolve :

ep.api#foundation;+

There is no such library in our repository, so the error message is right.
Could you please post here the module.ivy file at the root of the project folder? So that I can take a look.

Best Regards,
Gaëtan for MicroEJ

Hello Gaetan,

Thank you for your response.

You are correct that ‘foundation’ is not a library in the MicroEJ repository. It is only a foundation library that I have built on my computer, and added to my platform project. For example, in the platform project, I have the file dropins/javaLibs/foundation-1.0.jar.

I think my basic problem is that I don’t know how to use a foundation library that I have created.

Ok your dependency as far as I can analyze seems to be properly expressed. The configuration provided is telling the dependency resolution to go look for the API in the one of the repository (then at launch it is matched against the implementation in the platform).

Here the dependency resolution fails to find the API dependency in our repository and also in your cache.

Could you check in your ivy cache if there is the corresponding API (in C:\Users\llangpap\.ivy2\repository\)?
The API should have been published in your cache during the step:

I build the API, impl, and mock projects with EasyAnt.

So can you also check if the build of the API is correctly publishing in your Ivy cache (you should have publication traces in the Console view)?

Gaëtan

Hi Gaetan,

You correctly identified the immediate problem. I fixed the dependency error with the following steps:

I rebuilt the foundation library projects with EasyAnt
I verified the correct files were in my local ivy cache
I unzipped the artifacts for each project
I added the artifact’s contents to the dropins/ folder of my platform
I built the platform

I ran into another problem when trying to Build & Deploy the standalone application. When I click Run for the application’s Run Configuration, I get the following message:

MyDevice-MyName-CM7hardfp_GCC48 does not provide implementation for:
 - FOUNDATION-0.1.0-RC201904191145 (referenced by project Standalone-DemonstrationSuite)

Proceed with launch?

Do you have any suggestions to resolve this error?

Thank you,
Lyle

Here we are at the step where the API library and the implementation added in the platform should match, unfortunately it didn’t.

Could you please check if the Ivy resolved API library (you can find it in the Ivy container displayed at the root of the project folder) is matching with the one in your platform exactly (same RC version as the one in ${platform_dir}/source/javaLibs directory)?

Hi Gaetan,

They are not exactly the same. RC201904191145 vs. RC201904191146. Why would they be different? The same project placed the jar in the ivy cache and created the target~/artifacts/ files, right?

Under Ivy/ in the root of the project folder, I have:

foundation-0.1.0-RC201904191145.jar - C:\Users\llangpap\.ivy2\cache\ep.api\foundation\jars

When I unzip foundation-1.0.jar from source/javaLibs/, it has the following in META-INF/version.properties:

#Generated by easyant

Even with the same version, I still get an error. Am I adding the files to the platform correctly?

Hi @llangpap,

In a previous message you talk about a foundation-1.0.jar, you should have a foundation-0.1.0.jar, was it a misprint or is that the case? It could cause the mismatch.

Gaëtan

llangpap · April 23, 2019, 4:21pm

Well…that’s embarrassing. The ivy file had a different version for microej.lib.name and revision. I corrected the version, and now everything works!

Thank you, Gaetan.
