Comment #1 on issue 363 by pekka.klarck: Keywords or new library to provide
diff functionality
http://code.google.com/p/robotframework/issues/detail?id=363
Diff support is a good idea but it might need its own library. I guess
there's a need
to diff also strings got from different sources and not only files. You can
obviously
use 'Should Be Equal' to compare strings, but diff functionality ought to
provide
better error reports (showing only differences) and could also support
filtering out
changing values like timestamps.
Implementing diffing using Python ought to be pretty easy with difflib [1].
Anyone
interested enough about this to give it a shot?
