Do you know any tools that can be used as an external difference analyzer for the Teamcity Visual Studio plugin?
I am using Visual Studio 2010 Pro and Teamcity 5.1.2.
We use Beyond Compare 3 , which is very easy to use with the TeamCity plugin (specify the path to the executable file (BComp.exe) and set %1 %2 /lefttitle="%3" /righttitle="%4" as the arguments to the command.
%1 %2 /lefttitle="%3" /righttitle="%4"
A good open source alternative is WinMerge .
With Beyond Compare 3 I use
%1 %2 /lefttitle="%3" /righttitle="%4" /leftreadonly
The last option makes it so that you cannot accidentally change the base file
For WinMerge (set the path to WinMergeU.exe), I use the command arguments
/x /e /ub /wl /dl %6 /dr %7 %1 %2
I have not looked at VS for some time, so I have no doubt that has changed over the past few years. That being said, I like a couple of Source Forge projects in this area of KDiff3 andNotepad ++ using Compare plugin from plugins project.and the reason why I did not pay much attention to the side of Visual Studio is that I am a nee of Delphi, and a comparison tool that I have used for many years, because until recently even what I used from Project JEDI JediVCS , which has a built-in comparison tool.
