Adrian Sandor commented on IVY-232:
-----------------------------------

I can't believe you've known about this issue for so long and haven't fixed it. In my opinion, the way it works now is HORRIBLY broken and I can't see any reason not to fix it urgently. I'm not aware of any other task that has the same (broken) behavior.

Specifically, I have an ant build file that calls other build files to build other projects in other directories (using the "ant" task with the dir attribute). I use relative paths everywhere, and everything works perfectly except the ivy retrieve task, which insists to calculate the paths relative to the original project :(
I'm not aware of any usable workaround for my situation (absolute paths are unacceptable).

> Suppose you have two projects in two directories: 
> /projA
> /projB
> Each one of them have its own build.xml.
> When you run Ant on /projA/build.xml from /projA evrything is ok.
> When you run from "/projB" "ant -f ..\projA\build.xml" relative pathes are based on "projB" by Ivy, whereas the correct way (as Ant and Maven works) is to use "projA" as the base directory (assuming "/projA/build.xml" has "basedir" attribute: ".")
> In other words, Ivy should take the base directory as specified in the "build.xml" file in "project" tag in "basedir" attribute, and calculate it based on the location of the build.xml file; not based on the "current" directory where Ant was invoced from.
