Gradle downloads changing modules every build when using an ivy DependencyResolver

  problem - Gradle downloads changing modules every build when using an ivy DependencyResolver (pending)

If you specify a repository using an Ivy DependencyResolver, and set the cacheChangingModules timeout to zero, then for a SNAPSHOT module, the descriptor file (ivy.xml/pom.xml) and artifact files will be re-downloaded on every build.

eg: This will result in *-SNAPSHOT.pom/.jar being re-downloaded every build.

configurations.all {
resolutionStrategy.cacheChangingModulesFor 0, 'seconds'
}
repositories {
add(new org.apache.ivy.plugins.resolver.URLResolver()) {
name = "repo"
addIvyPattern("http://localhost:${server.port}/repo/[organization]/ivy-[module]-[revision].xml")
addArtifactPattern("http://localhost:${server.port}/repo/[organization]/[module]-[revision].[ext]")
changingMatcher = 'regexp'
changingPattern = '.SNAPSHOT.'
}
}
