Issue was apparently caused by some other component; not seen in the current Fedora development tree any longer. |
Description of problem: When meld is launched in order to compare two text files, it simply displays them without any highlighting of existing differences. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): meld-3.15.0-1.fc24 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Compare two non-identical text files with meld. Actual results: The two text are simply displayed next to each other without any highlighting of actual differences. When launched from the command line, it becomes apparent that a backtrace has been produced by meld. Expected results: The two text files are displayed next to each other highlighting any existing difference. Additional info: 1. Meld version 3.14.1 works as expected in Fedora 23. 2. A backtrace is printed when run from the command line: "Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/meld/task.py", line 110, in iteration ret = next(task) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/meld/filediff.py", line 1202, in _set_files_internal for i in self._diff_files(): File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/meld/filediff.py", line 1159, in _diff_files while next(step) is None: File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/meld/diffutil.py", line 466, in set_sequences_iter while next(work) is None: File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/meld/matchers.py", line 246, in initialise a, b = self.preprocess() File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/meld/matchers.py", line 155, in preprocess a, b = self.preprocess_remove_prefix_suffix(self.a, self.b) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/meld/matchers.py", line 109, in preprocess_remove_prefix_suffix self.common_prefix = find_common_prefix(a, b) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/meld/matchers.py", line 43, in find_common_prefix if a[0] == b[0]: File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/meld/meldbuffer.py", line 268, in __getitem__ line_end = line_start.copy() AttributeError: '_ResultTuple' object has no attribute 'copy'"
