×Hello,
I want to require something when checking changes in a pull-request. The behavior is reasonable:
- if a file is in text format, one can see the differences,
- else if a file is binary, one cannot see the differences, and must download the whole file in order to compare.
But there is at least one exception, this is the HTML files that are considered as binary files even if they are text. So Bitbucket does not show the changes, you must download both old and new file and compare them on your own computer. If one pull request has changes in more than one file it's quite annoying.
Why is not possible to compare such format? It is just regular code/text, at least from the point of view of developer evaluating a pull-request. (I don't remember now, whether other text files are considered as binary - e.g. xml?)
Sorry this answer can be closed.
There is a button that allows to show the changes anyway (complaining about too large file). I was pretty sure I had this problem in the paste for smaller files, that is why I wrote now without reading the text.
You can delete this question (i didn't find the option).
