How to change ivy repository location?

[Ben McCann]

Hi,

The play script has "-Dsbt.ivy.home=$dir/repository".  Also, play.boot.properties has "ivy-home: ${play.home}/../repository".  Is it really necessary to specify it twice?  It'd be nice if we could get rid of one as unnecessary because it makes it more difficult to change when we want to point it somewhere else.

Also, even if I remove both of those code snippets, it still uses  ${play.home}/../repository and I can't figure out why it would still be pointing there.

Thanks,

Ben

I'm really having a hard time with this.  No matter what I change I can not get "publish-local" to put my jar in ~/.ivy2  :-(

Think I finally figured it out.  I had to change it in four places and use ${HOME} instead of ~

• play
• framework/sbt/play.boot.properties
• framework/sbt/sbt.boot.properties
  
• framework/build

I really dislike play's default of not using the same ivy repo that all other build tools use because it makes it a complete pain to use libraries I've built with another tool or vice versa.  I hope this can at least be made easier by having a single place to change it instead of four.

Thanks,

Ben

Hi Kamal,

I meant that ${HOME}/.ivy2 will work while ~/.ivy2 will not.

Thanks guys,

That was so helpful, It took me like 2 days to figure this out. 

BTW Ben didn't you mean ${HOME}/.ivy2 instead of ${HOME} ??

Best reagards,

Kamal

Hi,

I've spent some time to figure this out. These are the changes that worked for me:

In play.boot.properties and sbt.boot.properties, I only changed the last lines, like this:

[ivy]

  ivy-home: ${sbt.ivy.home}

The point is that ${sbt.ivy.home} is passed down from the other 2 files, that were linked to ${HOME}/.ivy2, like this:

java .... -Dsbt.ivy.home=${HOME}/.ivy2 ...

Hope it helps,

Alex.
