Notification of 'diff' rather than output files

[madhur4127]

Consider a problem with long output like 8-10 lines, in order to verify my output and correct output I have to drag both the files side by side and then compare it. It is time consuming and defies the purpose of this plugin.

Suggested Alternative: You may add notification of evaluation of test case, rather than output the file. It will solve the purpose as all I will need to know is that whether I passed the test case or not rather than the output.
You may use diff as a tool to enhance the scheme I proposed. Consider:

000  ---> 0 0 0
123  ---> 1 2 3
123  ---> 1 2 3

Though output seems similar but there will be wrong answer because of spaces between digits. Using diff will solve the problem, and also highlight the differences.

I will work on this. 👍🏻

Hey, I have found some good plugin avilable in other editor for reference.

1. Vim: CFParser
2. Emacs: CFParser

Which feature in these parsers are you particularly interested in?

I worked on the diff feature but I am having a problem with showing the added and removed parts in proper colors in a diff file.

I am looking for a hack around that.

Atom already has git diff in it, using it differences can be generated easily from two files using this. Also git dif a a produces no output so it can be easily checked for correct results.

But diff will produce unwanted errors too 10.23 != 10.2300 and 11111111112 == 11111111113 in terms of relative error, and it will create issues. Using existing checker will help instead of inventing the wheel.

Submission of current file is a noteworthy feature is of the parsers.

There's another tool 'HighTail' by dj3500 which uses a cool checker which has (precision check too with relative error).

Hey @madhur4127 ,

Thanks for your inputs.

I have published an update that has the diff feature. To get the diff use the key combination ctrl+alt+p to open a pane showing the diff between files.

Note that this will only show diffs between files starting with names output* and myOutput*. For eg:- output1.txt and myOutput1.txt

Please use this and report bugs, if any. 🙂

Note that this is the first iteration. Next up is notifications for the diffs generated.

@madhur4127 Notifications based on diffs generated is released in version 0.8.18.
