Diff Text

Flyway Enterprise

This concept page assumes you understand the following area of Flyway:

• Diff

If you have not done so, please review this page first.

Why is this useful ?

The diffText commands prints out the object level differences from the differences generated by diff.

How is this used ?

To perform diffText a diff operation must first be performed. You may either configure the toml or use the command line as shown below.

CLI configuration:

flyway diffText -diffText.changes="id1,id2"

Toml configuration:

[flyway.diffText]
changes = ["id1","id2"]

You may specify - as the set of change ids to read changes from standard in. If you do not provide any change ids then the differences for all changes are printed.

Note

• If the diff artifact provided is altered by any means which would result in the commandline being unable to read the artifact, then the diffText command will fail.
• The location of the diff artifact can be changed using the diff.artifactFilename and diffText.artifactFilename options.
