A tool can be launched using the following:
await DiffRunner.Launch(tempFile, targetFile);Note that this method will respect the above difference behavior in terms of Auto refresh and MDI behaviors.
A tool can be closed using the following:
DiffRunner.Kill(file1, file2);Note that this method will respect the above difference behavior in terms of MDI behavior.
DiffEngine use EmptyFiles to determine if a given file or extension is a binary or text. Custom extensions can be added, or existing ones changed.
BuildServerDetector.Detected returns true if the current code is running on a build/CI server.
Supports:
Set an environment variable DiffEngine.Disabled with the value true.
To report a security vulnerability, use the Tidelift security contact. Tidelift will coordinate the fix and disclosure.
