good afternoon!! i have a .main.kts script, where i would like to use a local jar directly from my maven local without using -cp option at compile time.. something using @file:Repository("path/to/mavenlocal") and then @file:DependsOn("groupId:artifactId:version") i’m using the version 1.3.61 😕 any idea??

[gianluz]

even an ivy local repo will be okay

[ilya.chernikov]

Local ivy cache (~/.ivy2/cache) should work out of box.
@Repository with directory name are supported, but treated as a base dir for the @DependsOn with a file name instead of the maven coordinates.
And finally you may try to use file:///<home>/.m2/repository url the the @Repository parameter, maybe it will work as a local maven repo, I haven't tried it though.

[gianluz]

linking a local .m2 repo as you described doesn’t work 😞 following the KEEP docs here https://github.com/Kotlin/KEEP/blob/master/proposals/scripting-support.md#script-evaluation
(i know is not up to date) but it allows to link a jar directly, and before with kotlin 1.3.41 it was actually working.. now it raise this error:

Unrecognized set of arguments to ivy resolver: file///path/to/myjar.jar (java.lang.IllegalStateException ...)

[gianluz]

using this annotation, to be clear:

@file:DependsOn("file:///path/to/myjar.jar")

[ilya.chernikov]

I think that

@file:Repository("/path/to/my")
@file:DependsOn("myjar.jar")

should work. We had some tests like this.

[gianluz]

uh let me try now!! 😄

[gianluz]

ok.. i make it working with absolute paths.. and without file:///
like
@file:DependsOn("/absolute/path/to/myjar.jar")
but doesn’t work with relative paths.. like:
@file:DependsOn("./temp/myjar.jar)" any idea where i’m wrong?

[ilya.chernikov]

Do you have any

@file:Repository("/path/to/my")

before DependsOn?

[ilya.chernikov]

As far as I remember, DependsOn with files works only with relative paths, relative to the "repositories" added with @Repository annotations.

[ilya.chernikov]

And I do not rermember any relevant changes before 1.3.70 (and even with 1.3.70 the behavior should be the same for this case.)

[ilya.chernikov]

If it si not the case - I'll need to test myself, maybe there are some bugs here.

[gianluz]

this means the path for the Repository must be absolute??

[ilya.chernikov]

No, there is no restriction to the @Repository parameter.
