Post-process the delivered Ivy XML file to apply dependency overrides. This is necessary because Ivy's deliver() method doesn't automatically apply DependencyDescriptorMediators when writing the XML. The fix: - Adds applyOverridesToDeliveredIvy() method in IvyActions - Reads the delivered Ivy XML and transforms dependency elements - Updates rev attributes for dependencies that have overrides - Ensures consistency between Maven POM and Ivy XML publishing Added unit tests to verify: - Overrides are correctly applied to matching dependencies - All other attributes are preserved - Non-matching dependencies remain unchanged

Fix dependencyOverrides not applied to Ivy XML
What's the problem?
When you use
dependencyOverridesin your build and then runpublishLocal, the generated Ivy XML file ignores your overrides. Instead of writing the actual version you specified, it writesrev="managed"- which is useless to anyone consuming your published artifact.For example, if you have:
The published
ivy.xmlwould contain:Instead of the expected:
This breaks downstream consumers who rely on the Ivy XML for dependency resolution.
Why does this happen?
Ivy's internal
deliver()method doesn't applyDependencyDescriptorMediators(which is how sbt implementsdependencyOverrides) when generating the XML output. The overrides work fine during resolution, but they're lost when writing the file.The fix
After Ivy generates the XML file, we now post-process it to apply the overrides. The fix:
<dependency>elementsrevattributeIt's a simple and targeted fix that doesn't change Ivy's internals - just patches up the output.
Testing
Added unit tests that verify:
Fixes #7951
