Description
Fixes the web resource comparison order to match user expectations and standard diff conventions. When comparing a local web resource with its server version, the diff view now correctly displays the server version on the left and the local version on the right.
Problem
When using the "Compare with Server" feature for web resources, the diff view was showing:
This was counter-intuitive and opposite to standard diff conventions where the base/original version appears on the left and the modified version appears on the right.
Solution
Modified the
compareWebResourcesmethod insrc/helpers/webResourceHelper.tsto:vscode.diffcommand so the server file (temp file) is the left parameter and the local file is the right parameterBefore:
After:
Impact
Users will now see a more intuitive comparison view:
This aligns with standard diff tool conventions and makes it easier to review local changes against the server version.
