Change Details

The function `pywikibot.showDiff` is an important part of the pywikibot UI, allowing users to quickly review proposed changes to be made. It uses color to maximise the amount of information that can be shown to the user on a text interface to help them make their decision. The logic behind this function was migrated to `pywikibot.diff.PatchManager` and radically improved , and the switch to using `PatchManager` occurred in ce6e10ba. However the module `pywikibot.diff` only has tests in `diff_tests` for T134341 (3c8c5eae24a14) Some very basic tests should be created. See documentation in `tests/README.rst`. Then it is easier to add new tests when bugs are being fixed (e.g. T130572) and enhancements are added. This should be an #easy task for a newbie.
