Filtered messages only concerning this issue. {quote} Mar 18 20:38:28 <jbossbot> new jira [SHRINKWRAP-448] Using asSingleFile only works if you return a single file [Open (Unresolved) Feature Request, Major, Unassigned] https://issues.jboss.org/browse/SHRINKWRAP-448 Mar 18 20:40:31 <mmatloka> johnament: I think asSingleFile intends to work as it works now - if returns more than one file throw exception Mar 18 20:41:13 <johnament> mmatloka: might be, but i've been told by ALR in the past that I should use asSingleFile whenever I use asFile()[0] :-) Mar 18 20:45:13 <mmatloka> johnament: 1. concerning asSingleFile - so when it resolves more than one file, and order is not specified, how would asSingleFiel work - return random one really? Mar 18 20:46:00 <johnament> mmatloka: it's a crap shoot, but would have the same issue here. Mar 18 20:47:12 <vineetreynolds> asSingleFile should throw some runtimeexception if there's more than one file in the resolution result imho Mar 18 20:47:47 <mmatloka> vineetreynolds: it throws NonUniqueResultException Mar 18 20:48:18 <johnament> but then it should only be available if you are using withoutTransitivity. Mar 18 20:48:19 <vineetreynolds> hmm Mar 18 20:49:42 <mmatloka> but even with withTransitivity it can return only single file? Mar 18 20:49:57 <johnament> mmatloka: no Mar 18 20:50:07 <johnament> mmatloka: with transitivity you get the file + all its dependencies. Mar 18 20:50:16 <johnament> without you should just get the file. Mar 18 20:50:25 <johnament> at least that's my understanding of maven Mar 18 20:50:25 <mmatloka> but it can have no dependencies what I mean :P Mar 18 20:50:39 <johnament> mmatloka: possible, but not likely. Mar 18 20:50:51 <johnament> if you had no depenendencies, then why use maven? Mar 18 20:51:27 <mmatloka> you're resolving project which internals you dont know, and to be sure you use transitivity Mar 18 20:53:08 <johnament> mmatloka: exactly. Mar 18 20:53:19 <johnament> so in that case, i'm pretty sure my file is in [0] Mar 18 20:53:29 <johnament> because its the top of the resolver chain Mar 18 20:55:48 <mmatloka> 1. so theoretically, If we would assume that shrinkwrap does not change anywhere order of artifacts, maybe something like getSingleTopXXX would be more appropriate Mar 18 20:57:05 <johnament> mmatloka: getFirstFile Mar 18 20:57:14 <mmatloka> yeah Mar 18 20:57:19 <johnament> but that's longer than .asFile()[0] Mar 18 20:57:40 <johnament> plus then you need to reresolve for .asFile()]1] Mar 18 20:57:44 <johnament> [1] Mar 18 21:08:24 <mmatloka> johnament: but using current asSingleFile still would be longer than .asFile()[0]? Mar 18 21:08:55 <johnament> mmatloka: yes Mar 18 21:09:05 <johnament> mmatloka: i'm not a fan of asSingleFile {quote} -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
