This is a UI issue, as the changes to the file are surfaced in the History tab and not lost.
This Issue Occurs On All Platforms.
This is an absolute must have feature. Lack thereof makes GitHub Desktop unusable. I just missed some changes because the file was also renamed at the same time and GitHub Desktop just says The file was renamed but not changed
.
This lines seemingly think that renamed files are always unchanged.
Edit: Ah no, diff.hunks.length === 0
means something upper than that is broken.
Another instance of this issue in #12501
I just submitted #17364 which solves this. However, if there are both staged and unstaged changes to a renamed file, I couldn't figure out how to show both of them, but I added a message saying that you need to stage all the changes before you can see the diff. That seems much better than the current state that says that there were no changes.
@sergiou87, I see that app/src/lib/status-parser.ts
sets workingTree
to GitStatusEntry.Modified
:
https://github.com/desktop/desktop/blob/a1ece186bae3a742f206c5edeb0762e78fba2f7c/app/src/lib/status-parser.ts#L322-L329
If I could find a way to pass through that field to the diff renderer, I could have it change the message to " The file was renamed and modified." https://github.com/desktop/desktop/blob/0fec3adca67e890e917ee3ba70c9dd394fc24493/app/src/ui/diff/index.tsx#L210-L216
Is that a good approach?
I think so, as long as this change is introduced in a safe way that doesn't affect the rest of well-supported scenarios. It definitely feels more reliable than the previous one 😄
Thanks, @sergiou87. I opened #17467. It's still a bit of passing around fields, but doesn't mess with the actual git diff
command, so hopefully this PR is better.
