How can I automate build log comparisons?

You can automate build log comparisons by using scripts that parse the logs and highlight differences. Would you like a sample script?

Yes, please provide a sample script.

Here's a simple Python script that uses difflib to compare two log files:

import difflib

with open('log1.txt') as file1, open('log2.txt') as file2:
    log1 = file1.readlines()
    log2 = file2.readlines()

differences = difflib.unified_diff(log1, log2, fromfile='log1.txt', tofile='log2.txt')

for line in differences:
    print(line)

This will show you the differences in a unified format.

How can I schedule this script to run automatically?

You can use a task scheduler like cron on Linux or Task Scheduler on Windows to run your script at specified intervals. Would you like instructions for a specific OS?

Yes, I'm using Windows.

On Windows, you can open Task Scheduler, create a new task, and set the trigger to run your script at your desired frequency. Make sure to set the action to run Python with the path to your script.
