SNAPSHOT dependency not updating

[James Douglas]

I have a project named "bar" with an external Ivy file, which includes
a dependency named "foo" of version "1.0-SNAPSHOT".

If I update "foo" and publish it to my repository, rebuilding "bar"
does not cause the latest "foo" to be retrieved.

After scouring the wiki and looking through the xsbt source, I can't
figure out why the latest version of "foo" is not being retrieved. It
appears that ".*-SNAPSHOT" is set as the changing pattern, so what
could be going wrong? Could this have anything to do with my project
using an external ivy.xml?

I read through this thread:

http://groups.google.com/group/simple-build-tool/browse_thread/thread/7464cbe97565463b

...and I made sure to set changing="true" on my "foo" dependency.
Still no luck getting sbt to check the repo for a newer version during
build.

I don't think the external ivy.xml is the culprit -- I made a test
project with only a build.sbt, adding:

libraryDependencies += "mycompany" % "foo" % "1.0-SNAPSHOT"

When I update "foo" in my repo, it is not re-retrieved when compiling
or updating the test project.

If I perform a `clean`, then upon next compile my snapshot dependency
*is* updated as expected. Is this the workflow I should follow?

I've found a similar behavior with sub-projects reference by uri
(in Build.scala, using dependsOn( uri( "http://github.com/userA/
projectB..." )) )

sbt will never update the subproject code in the cache if the github
project is updated, unless I do
"rm -rf ~/.sbt/staging".

i have the exactly the same problem. i'm just pushing around a project locally (publish-local), and the project in which i use the dependency needs needs a 'clean' all the time, 'update' doesn't do anything. it's quite annoying as it means, i change one line in the project, i need to rebuild the other project completely which takes like a minute.

I've also had a problem with snapshots not updating as expected.  It's good to know that they'll update after a clean!

It would be nice if snapshot updates were more predictable.  Updating snapshots only after a clean violates the Principle of Least Surprise, IMO.

Odd. I've started to experience this, but I'm pretty sure I didn't used to. The thing that changed was I started using an external ivySettings file...
