Invocation Diff page improvements

We’ve shipped several upgrades to the Invocation Compare page to help you debug faster and collaborate more efficiently:

More data

In addition to all the base information (e.g. duration, date, cache hit rate), you can now see these additional data points on the diff page:

  • Environment Variables
  • Infrastructure
    • Operating system & version
    • Hostname
    • Username
    • CPU cores
    • RAM
    • Tool versions
    • Locale
    • Default charset
  • Build Cache related:
    • Number of objects up/downloaded
    • Total size of upload/download
  • Bazel specific:
    • Explicit command line
    • Effective command line
    • Bazel options
  • Gradle specific:
    • Gradle properties
    • Java runtime information
    • Android versions (Compile, Target, Min SDK and NDK versions)

Link-to-diff-line

Quickly share any specific line in the diff with your teammates by copying a direct link.

When your colleague opens this link, the page will automatically scroll and highlight the line you linked to:

Git-diff link

When we detect changes in the commit SHA, we now show a link to the Git diff between the two commits—perfect for tracking down code-level changes.

You can find the Invocation Diffing related documentation on our DevCenter.

Debug smarter, ship faster :rocket:
