Import $ivy in Ammonite

Question

I need to import sikulixapi in an Ammonite script. I could be able to do so.

So if I do from the interactive console of Ammonite this:

@ import $ivy.`com.sikulix:sikulixapi:1.1.0` 
https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/com/sikulix/sikulixapi/1.1.0/sikulixapi-1.1.0.pom

Failed to resolve ivy dependencies:
  jxgrabkey:jxgrabkey:1.0 
    not found: /home/jenkins/.ivy2/local/jxgrabkey/jxgrabkey/1.0/ivys/ivy.xml
    not found: https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/jxgrabkey/jxgrabkey/1.0/jxgrabkey-1.0.pom

But jxgrabkey does exist in Maven.

This fails also:

@ import $ivy.`jxgrabkey:jxgrabkey:1.0` 
Failed to resolve ivy dependencies:abkey/jxgrabkey/1.0/jxgrabkey-1.0.pom.sha1

I'm not using any HTTP proxy.

Other versions of sikulixapi have other problems:

Tried with Ammonite 1.2.1, 1.3.3 and 1.4.0.

Answer 1

jxgrabkey:jxgrabkey:1.0 exists on a Maven repository, but per your mvnrepository link, it's not on Maven Central, but at http://labs.consol.de/maven/repository (see the target of the POM and JAR links).

So that extra repository has to be added to the Ammonite session, like

@ interp.repositories() ++= Seq(coursier.MavenRepository("https://labs.consol.de/maven/repository"))

@ import $ivy.`com.sikulix:sikulixapi:1.1.0`

Then the dependency can be added fine.

Note that I changed the protocol to https (http redirects to https, but protocol changing redirections aren't supported by coursier, which is the library that loads dependencies in Ammonite).

Answer 2

Recent versions of ammonite offer simpler ways of adding repositories:

import $repo.`https://labs.consol.de/maven/repository`
