Check this IVY-745. Seems like behavior is the same.

For the default branch, I'm not setting a branch attribute at all, nor is defaultBranch set in the settings. In a dependent module, I'm importing the dependency like this: <dependency org="xxx" name="yyy" branch="${yyy.branch}" rev="${yyy.build}" conf="build->default"/> As you can see, I'm using an ant property to specify the branch. If I set the branch to the empty string "" in an attempt to get the default branch, the ivy:retrieve works fine the first time, when it has to populate the cache. However, when running it the second time (when the desired rev and all dependent revs are in the cache), it fails to resolve properly and instead outputs a series of ivy internal errors, such as: ivy internal error: no node found for yyy#xxx;rev.20454: looked in [yyy#zzz;[EMAIL PROTECTED], yyy#xxx;rev.20454, com.sun#jre;1.6.0_05, com.sun#jce-policy;6, com.microsoft#directx-runtime-installer;9.0c, bouncycastle#bcprov-jdk16;136, commons-cli#commons-cli;1.1, commons-collections#commons-collections;3.2, commons-lang#commons-lang;2.3, commons-math#commons-math;1.1, commons-primitives#commons-primitives;1.0, net.sourceforge.collections#collections-generic;4.01, janino#janino;2.5.10, org.apache.xmlgraphics#batik-transcoder;1.7, com.jdatepicker#jdatepicker;4.2.5, com.sun.xml.bind#jaxb-impl;2.1.6, com.camcog#jniwrapper-mhs-cptII;1.0, com.camcog#jniwrapper-ms-word-2003;1.0, commons-logging#commons-logging;1.0.3, commons-discovery#commons-discovery;0.2, org.apache.xmlgraphics#fop;0.94, org.apache.xmlgraphics#batik-awt-util;1.7, org.apache.xmlgraphics#batik-bridge;1.7, org.apache.xmlgraphics#batik-dom;1.7, org.apache.xmlgraphics#batik-gvt;1.7, org.apache.xmlgraphics#batik-svg-dom;1.7, org.apache.xmlgraphics#batik-svggen;1.7, org.apache.xmlgraphics#batik-util;1.7, org.apache.xmlgraphics#batik-xml;1.7, xml-apis#xml-apis;1.3.04, xml-apis#xml-apis-ext;1.3.04, org.apache.xmlgraphics#xmlgraphics-commons;1.2, commons-logging#commons-logging;1.0.4, commons-io#commons-io;1.1, org.apache.avalon.framework#avalon-framework-api;4.3.1, org.apache.avalon.framework#avalon-framework-impl;4.3.1, org.apache.xmlgraphics#batik-anim;1.7, org.apache.xmlgraphics#batik-css;1.7, org.apache.xmlgraphics#batik-ext;1.7, org.apache.xmlgraphics#batik-parser;1.7, org.apache.xmlgraphics#batik-script;1.7, xalan#xalan;2.6.0, xml-apis#xml-apis;2.0.2, org.apache.xmlgraphics#batik-js;1.7, javax.xml.bind#jaxb-api;2.1, javax.xml.stream#stax-api;1.0-2, javax.activation#activation;1.1, com.jniwrapper#jniwrap;2.9.5] and root module id was yyy#zzz;[EMAIL PROTECTED] It then proceeds to evict most of my dependencies, apparently keeping the direct artifacts of the xxx, and apparently transitive dependencies 1 step removed, but the direct dependencies of xxx are not retrieved. Strangely, adding defaultBranch="" to my settings seems to fix the problem. Any idea what the problem is, and whether my solution is ok? I would have thought that an empty string branch and an unset branch should be treated the same. Thanks, Tom
