Question by Bork Awesome · May 30, 2012 at 09:50 AM · compareasset-serverassetserver

Asset Server Compare no longer works

After updating to Mac version v3.5.2f2 my Asset Server diff/compare tool no longer runs.

Repro steps are as simple as selecting a file in Local Changes and then clicking Compare; a message box pops up saying 'initialising compare' then nothing occurs.

My diff tool of choice is Apple File Merge which works a treat outside of Unity.

Any help on tracking down the issue would be much appreciated - the turn it of/turn it on again approach sadly didn't work... :/

I had the same issue on Mac. I installed SourceGear DiffMerge and changed the setting in Preferences->External tools. Compare is finally working again.

Mac 10.7.4 Unity 3.5.2f2 Xcode 4.3.2

Just tried Diff$$anonymous$$erge and yes it works! It is a workaround though (a good workaround $$anonymous$$d) but I would love my good old friend Apple File $$anonymous$$erge to work again... sob

I ran into this same issue, it is likely a problem with XCode, not Unity. Try reinstalling xcode, then reboot unity. I was too lazy to go through that myself so I just installed another diff tool:

From the Unity Docs:

 On Windows:
     TortoiseMerge: part of TortoiseSVN or a separate download from the project site.
     WinMerge.
     SourceGear Diff/Merge.
     Perforce Merge (p4merge): part of Perforce's visual client suite (P4V).
     TkDiff. 
 On Mac OS X:
     SourceGear Diff/Merge.
     FileMerge: part of Apple's XCode development tools.
     TkDiff.
     Perforce Merge (p4merge): part of Perforce's visual client suite (P4V).

Just tried the whole Xcode re-install & re-boot Unity; unfortunately that didn't work :/

I've also installed TkDiff but the diff tool combo box in Unity preferences doesn't seem to recognise that either..

$$anonymous$$ight have to try a full re-install of Unity!

Tried the full Unity uninstall/re-install and that didn't work either.

As mentioned above I had tried TkDiff but Unity didn't recognise the install but after a poke from Frank84 SourceGear Diff/$$anonymous$$erge came up trumps. Still no Apple File $$anonymous$$erge success though.

Just ran into the same issue. The "Initiating compare" dialog popped up but then nothing happened.

I was able to open FileMerge manually but in the Console the following message turned up:

Agreeing to the Xcode/iOS license requires admin privileges, please re-run as root via sudo.

Turns out I installed a new version of Xcode and hadn't opened it yet to agree to the new license terms. Somehow FileMerge still worked but I suspect the opendiff command line utility that Unity probably uses to open FileMerge did not.
