configurations
Tag: configurations Parent: ivy-module
Container for configuration element. If this container is not present, it is assumed that the module has one public configuration called 'default'.
since 1.3 You can define a new default conf mapping on this container by specifying the defaultconfmapping attribute.
A default conf mapping is very similar to the defaultconf which can be set on the dependencies tag, but it has a slightly different behaviour.
The default conf mapping not only defines the conf mapping to use when no conf mapping is specified for a dependency in this ivy file, but it also modify the way ivy interprets conf mapping with no mapped conf. In this case, Ivy will look in the default conf mapping and use the conf mapping defined in the default conf mapping for the conf for which there is no mapped conf.
See examples on the dependency page.
since 1.4 You can activate a confmappingoverride mode for all configurations, in which case the extending configurations will override the mappings of the configurations they extend from. This is an advanced feature which should be used only if you understand its implication.
For a discussion about the origin of this feature see this thread.
