Get XML parsing error on Ivy file after upgrading from gradle 1.7 to 1.10

Our dev team stores third party JAR’s in a local Ivy repository that has a custom layout.

I was using the ivy element below within the configuration for repositories instance:

ivy {
            name 'Old BPS Ivy Repository'
            url 'http://bps-artifacts.turner.com/ivy'
            layout 'pattern', {
                artifact '[organisation]/[module]/prod/[type]s/[artifact]-[revision].[type]'
                ivy '[organisation]/[module]/prod/ivys/ivy-[revision].xml'
            }
        }

After upgrading gradle from 1.7 to 1.10, the build task was failing with the following error (no such problems with version 1.7):

> Could not resolve glassfish:common-util:3.0-b74b.
  Required by:
      :mscore:unspecified
   > Could not parse Ivy file http://bps-artifacts.turner.com/ivy/glassfish/common-util/prod/ivys/ivy-3.0-b74b.xml
      > xml parsing: ivy-3.0-b74b.xml:4:132: cvc-complex-type.3.2.2: Attribute 'env' is not allowed to appear in element 'info'. in http://bps-artifacts.turner.com/ivy/glassfish

Here’s a snippet of the Ivy XML file that the above error concerns:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
  <ivy-module version="1.3">
  <info organisation="glassfish" module="common-util" revision="3.0-b74b" status="release" env="prod" publication="20070101000000">
    <ivyauthor name="cnn"/>
  </info>
  </ivy-module>

After some searching I changed the ivy entry to:

add(new org.apache.ivy.plugins.resolver.URLResolver()) {
            name = 'Old BPS Ivy Repository'
            validate = false
            addIvyPattern 'http://bps-artifacts.turner.com/ivy/[organisation]/[module]/prod/ivys/ivy-[revision].xml'
            addArtifactPattern 'http://bps-artifacts.turner.com/ivy/[organisation]/[module]/prod/[type]s/[artifact]-[revision].[type]'
        }

The validate setting was required to prevent the parsing error from occurring. If I didn’t include this flag, I got the same error I got with the original ivy entry.

I do get the following deprecated warning, which I can surely leave with for now.

Build file '/home/dohenry/bps_build/projects/mscore/build.gradle': line 36
The ArtifactRepositoryContainer.add(DependencyResolver, Closure) method has been deprecated and is scheduled to be removed in Gradle 2.0.

So my questions are: Is there a way to switch back to using the ivy entry and include this validate flag? Will we eventually have to abandon our custom Ivy repository?

Seems like this problem indicates that version 1.10 is not backward compatible. Should I not expect the ivy configuration that worked in version 1.7 to continue to work in version 1.10?

I would like to stay away from the add method because it is a deprecated method.
