I can't diff at all in macHg 0.9.23

[Warren Postma]

Just installed Machg 0.9.23 today, and it won't do any diff
operations.

I created a new test repository, added two dummy .py source files,
comitted, tweaked them, comitted again.

I go to the History View, and to the Differences view, and I can see
that there are 3 changesets, and see which files changed in each
changeset.

I can not see any differences, either as a raw diff or as some kind of
rich-diff view (as you might see in Kdiff3 for example).

All I see is some flickering when it should have done something like
show me a diff.

On the Differences view, the top of the page appears to be functional,
but at the bottom of the UI where it says "Differences between base
revision and compare revision", I see the actual list of files, in the
first pane, that exist in the changeset, but I do not see anything
else in any of the other 4 panes.

Any ideas?

Hmmm... Try a different diff tool like bbedit just to see that everything else is working. Then make sure FileMerge is installed and working from the command line...

So this isn't working in kdiff3 either?

Do this and then get back to us...

Thanks!

Recant, recant, recant!

I was the fool with the problem. I did NOT have a diff tool selected
in the preferences. I completely missed the selection box. My bad, I
was wrong.

Now, I'm way super happy. Great tool!!!

Thank you,

Mike

Same problem here... I have opendiff in Developer/usr/bin and
FileMerge is in Developer/Applications/Utilites

My screen just flickers when I click diff selected files...

Any more ideas?

cd /usr/bin && sudo ln -s /Developer/usr/bin/opendiff

This will likely fix your problem short term. If you have moved to lion make sure you get the latest developer tools from the app store. I noticed opendiff shows up in /usr/bin after I installed the latest version.

Hope that helps!
