Weird behaviour during `update`

[ijuma]

Hi all,

After deleting my .ivy2 folder, I am seeing very weird behaviour from SBT 0.10.0 during `update`. It tries to download the source and constructs a weird path. An example:

==== Scala-Tools Maven2 Repository: tried

[warn]  http://scala-tools.org/repo-releases/org/uncommons/uncommons-maths/1.2.2/uncommons-maths-1.2.2.java-source

This causes the build to fail. I was under the impression that sources would only be downloaded during update-classifiers. Also, it is not using Maven2 repository syntax even though that repository does. Any idea of what's going on here?

Best,

Ismael

I forgot to include the error message at the end (there are many of these, but I'll include the matching one for the previous email):

[error] download failed: org.uncommons#uncommons-maths;1.2.2!uncommons-maths.java-source

Best,

Ismael

It isn't obvious to me what the problem is, sorry. You can try emailing me the debug output if you want.

This is extremely weird. Basically it only happens to dependencies that are in an internal repository (served over HTTP) _and_ that actually have source. So, SBT somehow figures that it has the source and tries to download it during `update`, but it uses Ivy syntax instead of Maven syntax. So it fails. However, adding withSources for the dependency fixes the problem! It uses Maven syntax after that and downloads the source artifact. Not sure if that helps, but I'll try to email you a full log later. I need to remove the workaround and delete my .ivy2 folder before I can reproduce it.

Best,

Ismael
