Describe the Bug It is not possible to compare files if at least one of them hasn't been saved yet.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Create two new Files File -> New Text Files
  2. Select a supported language for the files
  3. Go to the Explorer Tab and expand OPEN EDITORS
  4. Right click on the first file and choose Select for Compare
  5. Right click on the second file and choose Compare with Selected
  6. Switch to SemanticDiff

Expected Behavior The semantic diff should display.

Actual Behavior The diff computation fails with Unsupported file extension:.

Additional Context SemanticDiff currently derives the programming language from the file extension which is not available if the file hasn't been saved yet. In this case, we may want to extract the language information from the open editor instead.

This was fixed in SemanticDiff 0.8.2.
