This makes differences in whitespace (eg. CRLF vs LF) show up in the string diffs.
Previously this test
would result in this output:
actual expected
foo<CR>bar
... which isn't really helpful. With this patch you'll get:
actual expected
foo<CR><CR><LF>
bar
The issue is that jsdiff's
Words
algorithm ignores whitespace differences. kpdecker/jsdiff#22 added a new mode that does what you want in a test framework, namely a word-based diff that doesn't ignore any differences when formatting the output.
