Summary0000133: Visdiff shell command no longer work: Does not work with Dreamweaver any more after upgrading to 1.4.4
DescriptionThe similar issue happens again after upgrading to 1.4.4. Please see bug id 0000116.

It works well with 1.4.3

The symptom is different to bug id 0000116 though.

This time, it doesn't show any error message (after I use the "Compare" function from Dreamweaver). It simply shows a VisualDiffer window without any comparison result. (in other words, the window appears as if I opened VisualDiffer from the Application Folder)
Steps To Reproducein Dreamweaver, right click on a file and select "compare with remote".

In version 1.4.3: files can be successfully compared. (provided we setup the working folder as trusted for app sandbox)

in version 1.4.4: it simply shows a VisualDiffer window without comparison contents.
Additional InformationI have setup my working folder as trusted
TagsNo tags attached.

 Please open console.app than run VisualDiffer and check if console contains some message relative to VisualDiffer

Dear Admin,

I have uploaded the console screenshot and the "Full Report" contents.
These logs were generated when I attempted to "compare file" using Dreamweaver.

Thanks

Starting since v1.4.4 Apple required to put in sandbox also command line tools (ie visdiff) but something goes wrong.

Please use the visdiff in attach (it is the version present in v1.4.3 distribution), you can unzip it where you prefer and change into Dreamweaver the path to original one distributed with VisualDiffer.

Please apologize me for inconvenient but believe me sandbox is a hell!!

Thanks for the file. I can confirm it works.
And yes, you are right, I know sandbox is a hell!!
No need to say sorry. You are doing good jobs!
Looking forward to v1.4.5

Good Luck and have a nice day!

Just upgraded to v1.5 and confirm this problem still exists.
Using the file you provided earlier "visdiff_1_4_3.zip" does solve the problem, though.

thanks

Yes, please apologize me. I've a bug filed at Apple Developer Technical Support.
I've open the bug 2 months ago but at this time I haven't yet a valid reply from Apple team, this is a problem related to sandbox and IPC communication.

I've preferred to publish v1.5 with broken visdiff instead of delay 1.5 release or removing vdiff from standard installation.

This bug is yet open because the problem persists

thanks for your patience and feedback
