Why does one file in my project think its completely being changed?

Richard Fyffe1

So I'm using source tree and I'm working on a website, however 1 of my JS files ALWAYS treats the whole file as a single hunk. Hunk 1: Lines 0-0 It shows the first line as removed, then the whole file in white then the first line in green and the whole file in white. So its impossible to review what changes I made, discard or change individual hunks/lines. No other file is doing this and its only this file. It also appears this way in bitbucket so without doing a side-by-side diff I can't see what changes were done. Why is this happening? What steps should I take to resolve this?

I would suspect white-space changes, possibly line-endings. Is SourceTree configured to show whitespace changes in the diff panel?

Richard Fyffe1

Yes, if I add a few empty lines to a normal files it'll show as new empty lines in source tree.

By "line-endings", I don't mean extra newlines, I mean the different byte sequences that can be used to signify a new line based on the source OS. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newline

If you switch sourcetree to ignore whitespace, you should be able to get a useable diff.

I had the same problem, Hunk 1: lines 0-0 and it would not show updates in the file. I was able to solve the problem by copying the code, deleting the (php) file in question, creating it again fresh, and pasting the code back in. YMMV.
