Description

• • • Investigation
      i tried to use the branch attribute inside my projekt DEV like this:

<ivy-module version="1.1">
<info ... module="DEV" ....

<dependency org="testng" name="testng"
branch="mybranch1" rev="latest.integration"
conf="compile,tests->default"/>
.....

If I now try to resolve my dependencies, it failed
because ivy 2.1.0 try to resolve the latest version (5.6) of testng/testng
which has NO branch-keyword inside it's ivy.xml. The ivy.xml
of version testng/testng/4.6 contains the following:

<ivy-module version="1.1">
<info
organisation="testng" module="testng"
branch="mybranch1" revision="4.6.1.2"
status="release"
publication="20060227000000">
.....

It looks like the resolver skip this 4.6.1.2 version (which is the only one containing the
branch attribute "mybranch1") and try to download the 5.6 (containing NO branch attribute !).

I go the following error message:

[ivy:configure] :: Ivy 2.1.0 - 20090925235825 :: http://ant.apache.org/ivy/ ::

• • • Make it reproducable

I create a VERY small sample project (build.xml & ivy.xml)
using a sample ivyrepos on our server.

Could somebody look closer to the problem by downloading the project from
http://www.opensource-online.org/fileadmin/swd/ivy/ivy-test.zip

To run, yust unzip and start "ant -f build.xml" and you can see the failure:

• • • Same problem using extra attributes instead auf branch attribute
      if tried a workaround not using the branch-keyword but defining a own extra atrribute like this:

<ivy-module version="2.0" xmlns:swd="http://softwaredemo.de/ivy/extra">
...
<dependency org="testng" name="testng" swd:suite="mybranch-e2" rev="latest.integration"
conf="compile,tests->default"/>

But this tells me a similar result - also a failure.
