IvyArtifactRepository

API Documentation:IvyArtifactRepository

An artifact repository which uses an Ivy format to store artifacts and meta-data.

When used to resolve metadata and artifact files, all available patterns will be searched.

When used to upload metadata and artifact files, only a single, primary pattern will be used:

  1. If a URL is specified via IvyArtifactRepository.setUrl() then that URL will be used for upload, combined with the applied IvyArtifactRepository.layout().
  2. If no URL has been specified but additional patterns have been added via IvyArtifactRepository.artifactPattern() or IvyArtifactRepository.ivyPattern(), then the first defined pattern will be used.

Properties

PropertyDescription
resolve
Incubating

The meta-data provider used when resolving artifacts from this repository. The provider is responsible for locating and interpreting the meta-data for the modules and artifacts contained in this repository. Using this provider, you can fine tune how this resolution happens.

url

The base URL of this repository.

Methods

MethodDescription
artifactPattern(pattern)

Adds an independent pattern that will be used to locate artifact files in this repository. This pattern will be used to locate ivy files as well, unless a specific ivy pattern is supplied via IvyArtifactRepository.ivyPattern(). If this pattern is not a fully-qualified URL, it will be interpreted as a file relative to the project directory. It is not interpreted relative the the URL specified in IvyArtifactRepository.setUrl(). Patterns added in this way will be in addition to any layout-based patterns added via IvyArtifactRepository.setUrl().

ivyPattern(pattern)

Adds an independent pattern that will be used to locate ivy files in this repository. If this pattern is not a fully-qualified URL, it will be interpreted as a file relative to the project directory. It is not interpreted relative the the URL specified in IvyArtifactRepository.setUrl(). Patterns added in this way will be in addition to any layout-based patterns added via IvyArtifactRepository.setUrl().

layout(layoutName)

Specifies the layout to use with this repository, based on the root url. See IvyArtifactRepository.layout().

layout(layoutName, config)

Specifies how the items of the repository are organized.

Script blocks

No script blocks

Property details

Note: This property is incubating and may change in a future version of Gradle.

The meta-data provider used when resolving artifacts from this repository. The provider is responsible for locating and interpreting the meta-data for the modules and artifacts contained in this repository. Using this provider, you can fine tune how this resolution happens.

URI url

The base URL of this repository.

Method details

void artifactPattern(String pattern)

Adds an independent pattern that will be used to locate artifact files in this repository. This pattern will be used to locate ivy files as well, unless a specific ivy pattern is supplied via IvyArtifactRepository.ivyPattern(). If this pattern is not a fully-qualified URL, it will be interpreted as a file relative to the project directory. It is not interpreted relative the the URL specified in IvyArtifactRepository.setUrl(). Patterns added in this way will be in addition to any layout-based patterns added via IvyArtifactRepository.setUrl().

void ivyPattern(String pattern)

Adds an independent pattern that will be used to locate ivy files in this repository. If this pattern is not a fully-qualified URL, it will be interpreted as a file relative to the project directory. It is not interpreted relative the the URL specified in IvyArtifactRepository.setUrl(). Patterns added in this way will be in addition to any layout-based patterns added via IvyArtifactRepository.setUrl().

void layout(String layoutName)

Specifies the layout to use with this repository, based on the root url. See IvyArtifactRepository.layout().

void layout(String layoutName, Closure config)

Specifies how the items of the repository are organized.

The layout is configured with the supplied closure.

Recognised values are as follows:

'gradle'

A Repository Layout that applies the following patterns:

  • Artifacts: $baseUri/[organisation]/[module]/[revision]/[artifact]-[revision](-[classifier])(.[ext])
  • Ivy: $baseUri/[organisation]/[module]/[revision]/ivy-[revision].xml
'maven'

A Repository Layout that applies the following patterns:

  • Artifacts: $baseUri/[organisation]/[module]/[revision]/[artifact]-[revision](-[classifier])(.[ext])
  • Ivy: $baseUri/[organisation]/[module]/[revision]/ivy-[revision].xml

Following the Maven convention, the 'organisation' value is further processed by replacing '.' with '/'.

'ivy'

A Repository Layout that applies the following patterns:

  • Artifacts: $baseUri/[organisation]/[module]/[revision]/[type]s/[artifact](.[ext])
  • Ivy: $baseUri/[organisation]/[module]/[revision]/[type]s/[artifact](.[ext])

Note: this pattern is currently Incubating.

'pattern'

A repository layout that allows custom patterns to be defined. eg: 

repositories {
    ivy {
        layout 'pattern' , {
            artifact '[module]/[revision]/[artifact](.[ext])'
            ivy '[module]/[revision]/ivy.xml'
        }
    }
}

The available pattern tokens are listed as part of Ivy's Main Concepts documentation.
