Compare and report on two artefacts summaries.

Artefacts Comparison

artefactscomparison is a Python package to compare and report on two artefacts summaries.

An artefact summary is a CSV listing files' paths and SHA512 sum. Assuming artefacts are saved under the results/ directory, an artefact summary is generated as follows:

$ find results/ -type f `# list files in the 'results/' directory…`\
    -exec sha512sum {} \; `# … and compute their SHA-512 sum`\
    | sed 's/  /,/' `# use comma — instead of double space — as separator`\
    | cat <(echo 'sha512,file_name') - `# add header to CSV`

sha512,file_name
<SHA512>,results/artefact_1
<SHA512>,results/path/to/artefact_2

The artefactscomparison package provides a CLI entry point that outputs a diff report on two artefacts summaries:

$ artefacts_comparison --base base_artefact_summary.csv --head head_artefact_summary.csv

@@ 3 file(s) added @@
+ path/to/new_file_1

@@ 1 file(s) deleted @@

@@ 2 file(s) renamed @@
! path/to/to_rename_1 ￫ path/to/renamed_1

# 2 other file(s) remain unmodified

User Quickstart

Installation

You can install artefactscomparison from PyPI:

where:

• head_artefact_summary.csv is the artefact summary of the branch you want to merge,
• base_artefact_summary.csv is the artefact summary of the branch your PR points to (i.e. main, master, etc.).
