[GRADLE-2392] Gradle should create intermediate directories on publish to Ivy Created: 17/Jul/12  Updated: 10/Feb/17  Resolved: 10/Feb/17

 Description   

I just set up a simple uploadArchives task for publication to our internal Ivy repo via WebDav:

group = 'com.example'
version = 'latest'

uploadArchives {
repositories {
ivy {
credentials

{ username ivyUsername password ivyPassword }

url "http://hostname/repo"
}
}
}

When I run the task, Gradle returns the following error:

  • What went wrong:
    Execution failed for task ':smCommon:uploadArchives'.
    > Could not publish configuration ':smCommon:archives'.
    > java.io.IOException: Could not PUT 'http://hostname/repo/com.example/myproject/latest/myproject-latest.jar'. Received status code 409 from server: Conflict

The explanation for this per WebDav docs is, "A collection cannot be made at the Request-URI until one or more intermediate collections have been created." And this is true: the full path for this artifact does not yet exist. Only "[1]http://hostname/repo/com.example" exists.

I worked around this by logging on to my Ivy server and manually creating "/myproject/latest" in the repo, after which re-running the Gradle script successfully uploads the file.

Is this a bug, or is there something I'm doing incorrectly?

Which Gradle version?

Comment by Gradle Forums [ 17/Jul/12 ]

I'm using 1.0.

No, Gradle publishing is not WebDav aware, and assumes that the HTTP server will handle creating any required directories on PUT.

I wouldn't say this is a bug, but a feature (WebDav) that is not yet supported.

Thanks, Daz, that leads me to two questions:

1. If not via WebDAV, what is the default method Gradle expects to use to publish?

2. I searched the Gradle issues list and didn't see this feature. Is this something that needs to be logged as a feature request?
