VS 26.0.2.1 Diff Lockup

[PiezonTM]

If I attempt to diff the two attached files (simple CSV files) VS locks up and stops responding.

What options are you using for the diff?

[PiezonTM]

I tried with both files selected as "files" and I also tried with both buffers being "buffers". I have attached screenshot of the diff options.

[Dan]

I still can't reproduce a hang so far.  I noticed one of the files you have as a .log file but I think that what I extracted was still csv.  I just renamed it.  I tried your options.  Can you send me your user.cfg.xml?

[PiezonTM]

You are correct, the screenshot was with a different file but that was really meant to show the settings--that file locks up as well. I just reran the test with the files I sent you and it reproduces 100% of the time.  Sorry for the confusion

[Dan]

I am still not able to get it.  Are you prompted for Source Diff?

[PiezonTM]

No. Nothing at all pops up and I cannot close VS using any graphical mean. I have to kill the process.

[Dan]

Can you check to see if the end of line characters match?  I get prompted about that, but it does work.  I'm wondering if it is hanging before it gets that far.

I'm trying 26.0.2 on  Ubuntu 18, which should be close to your setup.

[PiezonTM]

They are different line endings indeed. The one file was generated from Windows (CRLF) and the other was Linux (LF). I saved the CRLF as LF and retried. When they were both LF it still locked up VS. I do not event get the dialog asking to convert line endings.

Try a clean config:

Code: [Select]

vs +new -sc /tmp/testconfig&

and use the default diff options to diff these files. Dan knows diff better than I do but I've been trying various diff options on Linux and haven't been able to reproduce a hang either.

I think this is the best thing to try right now.  I haven't been able to reproduce it either.

[PiezonTM]

I tried the suggested command and it failed the same way.

[Dan]

Are you using vsdiff, or running it from inside the editor?  I'm guessing inside the editor from the screenshots.

If I send you a macro with some debug, can you send me the output?

[PiezonTM]

I am diffing using the editor. I can try whatever you need.

[Dan]

Can you PM me an email address?  Thanks.
