diffmerge tool on svnX 2.0 OSX 10.12

[anh.t...@gmail.com]

Hello,

I try to set diffmerge ad a diff tool and svnX popups with "Can’t find tool ‘diffmerge.sh’ required to use DiffMerge."

svn and diffmerge.sh are in local directory which is exported through .profile (seems ok, since i can execute that diffmerge.sh to open Diffmerge from command line)

diffmerge.sh content:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

#!/bin/sh

## A little script to make it easier to launch DiffMerge from the command line.

## Install this script into a folder in your path, such as /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin.

## Change DIFFMERGE_PATH to point to where you installed DiffMerge

DIFFMERGE_PATH=/Users/antrinh/Applications/DiffMerge.app

## The actual executable is hidden inside the .app bundle.

DIFFMERGE_EXE=${DIFFMERGE_PATH}/Contents/MacOS/DiffMerge

## Launch DiffMerge using the given command line arguments.  Use --help for

## additional information or see the man page distributed along with this

## shell script.

exec ${DIFFMERGE_EXE} --nosplash "$@"

using OSX 10.12.6

Any pointers would be great.

Thanks

Your other message mentions “~/local/bin”.  SvnX does not search that directory.

SvnX looks in the following directories for the diff tool:

/Applications/Xcode.app/Content/Developer/usr/bin

~/bin

/usr/bin

/bin

/usr/local/bin

/Developer/usr/bin

These paths are defined in ‘svnX.app/Contents/Resources/DiffApps.plist’.

I don’t believe that ~/local/bin is a standard directory.

[However, I am willing to consider additions/changes to the list.]

I don’t believe that GUI applications normally use .profile.

I would suggest placing diffmerge.sh in ~/bin.

Hope that helps.

Regards,

CHRIS

sweet!!!, moved to ~/bin and works.

it would be great if you have a  text box to add additional path, or let's user know in the error popup that it looks for certain directory.  

Maybe it was there but i didn't pay attention.

thanks Chris
