Item14684: diff.nat.tmpl is missing, bin/diff command returns 0 length page.

DiffPlugin:d483bdfb40a5 removed the diff.nat.tmpl template, however there is no corresponding checkin to the NatSkin.

Newly installed NatSkin sites don't have a working bin/diff command, however older sites that have the prior template left over work fine.

It's also not listed in the MANIFEST:

grep -c templates\/diff lib/Foswiki/Contrib/NatSkin/MANIFEST 
0

-- GeorgeClark - 23 Apr 2018

Note that it seems to be working fine on Pattern skin without a skin specific template. It's only broken on NatSkin.

Here's a quick fix.

• diff.nat.tmpl: quickfix until next release of NatSkin

I've encounter this issue after upgrading our site. However copying this diff.nat.tmpl file did not work properly, the page went from blank to a distorted layout.

Another workaround that I found was to disable the DiffPlugin and use CompareRevisionsAddOn instead.

Then, replace the line in view.nat.tmpl

<a href="%SCRIPTURLPATH{"diff"}%/%WEB%/%TOPIC%?rev=%CURREV%">

With:

<a href="%SCRIPTURLPATH{"compare"}%/%WEB%/%TOPIC%?type=last;render=interweave;context=1">

This has been fixed in the latest release.
