TrueDiffDetective

TrueDiffDetective extends DiffDetective by the option to chose truediff as diffing algorithm. It is (mainly) implemented in Scala and using sbt as build tool (like truediff), but can easily be used in Java/Maven projects as well.

Nix Setup

You can obtain a local maven repository with TrueDiffDetective and all necessary dependencies by running nix-build -A maven. It can be used by passing -Dmaven.repo.local=result to sbt or mvn.

Alternatively, the plain TrueDiffDetective jars can be build by running nix-build. The jar can be installed into your Maven cache using something like

mvn install:install-file -DgroupId=org.variantsync -DartifactId=TrueDiffDetective -Dversion=0.1.0-SNAPSHOT -Dpackaging=jar -Dfile=./result/share/java/truediffdetective_2.13-0.1.0-SNAPSHOT-javadoc.jar

Manual Setup

Requirements and Dependencies

• Scala 2 and sbt (Scala 3 will only work with some modifications)
• Java 17 and Maven (for DiffDetective)
• DiffDetective (see https://github.com/VariantSync/DiffDetective)
• truediff (see https://gitlab.rlp.net/plmz/truediff)

Install Dependencies

DiffDetective and truediff are required in the local Maven repository.

To install DiffDetective using Maven:

    git clone https://github.com/VariantSync/DiffDetective.git
    cd DiffDetective
    mvn clean install

Be sure to actually (re-)compile DiffDetective with version 17 of Java. In case of doubt or obscure errors later on, try removing the maven cache with rm -rf ~/.m2 before installing DiffDetective.

To install truediff using sbt:

    git clone https://gitlab.rlp.net/plmz/truediff.git
    cd truediff
    sbt publishM2

Install TrueDiffDetective

To install truediff using sbt:

    git clone https://github.com/VariantSync/TrueDiffDetective.git
    cd TrueDiffDetective
    sbt publishM2

Using TrueDiffDetective

To use TrueDiffDetective in a sbt project add dependency:

    "org.variantsync" % "truediffdetective_2.13" % "0.1.0-SNAPSHOT"

To use TrueDiffDetective in a Maven project add dependency:

    <dependency>
      <groupId>org.variantsync</groupId>
      <artifactId>truediffdetective_2.13</artifactId>
      <version>0.1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
    </dependency>
