diffviewer widget was very useful in gitbackup extension to see differences between different commits. Now it's not available. do we have any alternate approach/widgets to see diffs between commits ?

Hi TWXadmin,

Referring to the gitbackup extension, as its (main) developer, I'm unclear why you report the diff widget is not available.

I'm running the extension in my 9.3.8 instance and I can see the widget in Mashup Builder  - also it works well in the GitBackup.Main.Mashup

 

As a reminder to others, even if in this situation we speak about a widget that is part of the extension and not meant for custom use, if you have any issues with the GitBackup extension, please report them here: https://github.com/PTCInc/thingworx-gitbackup-extension/issues as it's not a PTC Supported product.

I didn't know about the diffviewer widget on gitbackup .... 😄

 

I use API from diffchecker.com

created a mashup calling API with ContentLoaderFunctions.PostText , you can compare two text with colors ... it's great !

 

I use compare differencies on entities on different thingwors instances

      Thank you @VladimirRosu_116627 . I realized late that diffviewer was part of package of GitBackup extension. I imported diffviewer from your extension package and it works like charm now.
