Artifact diff

Artifact diff plugin

Plugin can compare content of an artifact identified by its relative path among different builds.

URL format

Plugin introduces transient build action using artifact-diff url name. Action itself consumes build number to compare against followed by an artifact path.

<buildUrl>/artifact-diff/<otherBuildNumber>/<artifactPath>

The output argument is used to switch between the html (the default) and plain text output.

  • output = html|plain

Output format

  • Plugin uses the Unified diff format to represent artifact difference.
  • /dev/null placeholder filename is used to represent an artifact that could not be read, such artifact is then treated as empty.
  • An empty diff sequence is used when both artifacts equal.
