Code Compare

This is my entry for InterSystems Developer Tools Contest 2021.

Inspiration

I often export a project from different systems.
I end up with tons of differences caused by timestamps, storage definitions, or other things I like to ignore.
This is very much a work in progress. Please be patient with me as I make it work.

Getting Started

Point your browser at http://localhost:52673/irisapp/MyApp.Hello.cls.
If you are prompted to login, login as _SYSTEM. Please note the default password for this app is abc123.

There are two Browse buttons to select two files from the server.
The files are automatically imported into a global with index by routines and classes.
I initially coded a classmethod to compare two files and show the first difference I find in each class.

The Compare menu option displays a list of routines and classes in a frame.
My idea is to display the changed classes in a different style. This is not yet done.

If I click to select a class or routine, I store its name.
When I click on Details menu option, I show file1 left and file2 right.
Shorter files are padded with empty lines.
This works for also for flat text file as .CPF or .txt or .XML or similar.
